A designer desk for $595! WOW! Someone will get a deal! Nice save, Katie! Best wishes! 😊👏👍✨❤

Love the new base to this desk. I think it makes it look so much better than that cheap wobbly metal one.

about 7 minutes into this video I realized I needed to stop and comment: Thank you for the way you choose to “teach” during your videos. I appreciate your sharing not only what you do but how you do it. God Bless you! Now, heading back to finish watching! :)

I totally second that comment! I love how Katie Scott is genuine, funny and lighthearted, talented, and feels like she's already a good friend of mine but never met her. That's what makes a successful channel IMO. My name is Katie too, and I'm getting into painting furniture as I've salvaged a lot of furniture as well, and have the interest, talent and time to get good at this. Thanks again Katie!

Katie, the wooden base looks so much better than the metal one looked. It’s lovely now. Good luck on the sale. Thanks for sharing

“Mr. Salvaged..” 😂 Very nice redo.

I build a lot of bases for hutch top conversions- I love that you screwed two pieces of wood together to make a jig for gluing and clamping. That step gives me lots of grief on my builds and this tip will help so much!

It turned out better than it was before. Great job and best of luck selling it!

You are so welcome!

Heavens, that would fly away if you priced it that "low" in my market! Great work, as usual!!

That's pretty shocking that a piece costing that amount was not able to stand the test of time for probably even 4-5 years (since you say it is still on sale)! It looks fantastic after your treatment, and the wooden part looked in good shape (and solid wood too?),so it would have been such a waste to throw it all out! Great job, and an interesting video! kindest regards, k

Why am I not surprised you took a designers desk and made it better ! Wonderful job!!! ❤❤❤

Nice job returning this unbelievably expensive desk to function. I happen to think it is remarkably ugly for its price point as new, but to each their own! I think your pricing is more than reasonable

Kreg jig and Katie's design talents to the rescue! Nice save, Katie! You made this piece so much better! ❤

I'm only a minute into the video and I already love it- you rock for building a new base for this $2000 desk that ended up in the trash because of weak welding. ❤

Love how you brought us through the whole process right to the listing. Love how you think about your pieces. This is what makes you so good.

From : Gentlemen In came the fancy gent ...all modern rough and sleek black shoes The party soon changed to disaster and the trash heap loomed As dump day approached , Ms Katie was on the prowl... a lightening stop ! A little push and shove and smiles were on -- all the way home " You giant jackpot ", Ms Katie mumbled Work was needed ... shiny shoes -- gone ! With measure and cut the soft pine fell into place There our sad boy stood ... Once kicked and tossed ... now subtle and elegant... like a good tweed jacket "You giant jackpot " was heard as Ms Katie dimmed the light with a soft wink ...

OMG! That was awesome! I want to read more about our Ms. Katie! You need to make it a series!!! I'd buy every single book!

Another beautiful piece of furniture saved by Katie Scott! Not only are you beautify the world, you were also saving the world, one piece of furniture at a time not going to the dump. This turned out absolutely beautiful and whoever buys. It is very fortunate. Thank you for sharing your time and your talent with us. Take care, stay safe.

This is excellent! My experience is that most (many pieces of?) furniture is designed but not engineered. While we cannot know what happened to that desk before you grabbed it, for that price point the welds should have held. I like your wood base better and $595 sounds very fair!🌸

You know....I was about to turn the computer off...go out on my patio and have a beverage...but wait....I saw a Katie Scott Salvaged post and a "Dumpster To Dollars"....Flipping a trash picked desk...and I had to stay...the patio can wait. Oh...I still grabbed my adult beverage, but I'm enjoying it with this amazing video of how you ALWAYS brilliantly transform a piece of trash to a treasure. I really enjoy your work.

Awesome!!! So sad it was it was so nice and out out to the curb, glad you rescued it! I’m sure it will sell quickly, you’ve priced it nicely. Love spending time with you.

I like your make-shift corner jigs. They seem to work great!

What a find. I can't believe as much as that piece cost originally the owner was willing to let it go to a landfill. Your base was so much better than the ugly, metal one. Great job. Hope you get your price.

Gorgeous!

Excellent!

You did a nice job with piece and your solution off the legs was perfect! And it is combining so much better with the rest ! and putting back the old hardware was exactly what this was needed ! See you on the next video !

You are the best furniture flipper Katie. You take such good care of every detail. X

Awesome! and yes we always learn from you! Thank you!

Beautiful. I’m jealous of your life and your talent! ✌️

I just love you Katie. I learn something every time I watch you. You have inspired me so much! This piece is so neat! You did a fantastic job with the Reno!

Oh the new base is such a better proportion for that desk. Good work!

You are amazing!

The refresh is so much better than the original. Excellent job.😊

This was so interesting. I like that you created a new base rather than just trying to strengthen the old one. It was inadequate. I hope it sells soon and wish I lived closer. Beautiful job.

Katie, you look wonderful. Keep up The good work.😊

The new base is an improvement in design and stability. I like your color choices. Thanks for sharing.

I just love behr wood stains. I discovered it this summer. You did a fantastic job.

This turned out great. I prefer the base you made and the way you blended it to the top was amazing. I admire your perseverance. Hope you get your asking pice. It's well worth it.

You are a hard-working, talented lady. I enjoy your videos and do learn from what you do. Best wishes from Florida!

Your videos are so down to earth, sharing your boo,boos . I love that! Do you ever do more staging, like the top with flowers, books etc.? Some folks are very critical giving staging suggestions. And colors of background against furniture.

@salvagedbykscott

I do usually as a few staging props but I like to keep things minimal and let the piece do the talking.

Hi Katie, Wow that desk turned out so pretty!! Yeh I have to say I like it lots better with the new wood legs you made, job well done! Never disappoint with your wonderful talents, God Bless sweet girl ❤

Very nicely done. Hope you are through Lee with no damage and no flooding.

Hey that is such a nice makeover. Your new base is so much better than the wonky metal one. I’m impressed Katie. Best of luck with selling the desk. Hope it goes fast. ❤️

So happy to have you back hope you had an amazing summer and survived Lee ok 👍🏻 thank you for including how you took your pictures and that you use your iPhone for recording your videos! 😊❤ it also amazes me that someone paid $2k for that desk and threw it away not thinking to get someone to do a new base/legs for it! One persons trash is another’s treasure brings a whole new meaning to things today! Beautiful job! ❤

Very relaxing to watch while I emptied the dishwasher. Made a 5min job into an 18min job 😊

Love what you do with furniture. This is no exception. The wood base suits the desk much better than the steel. I know steel gives the feeling of sturdiness but just look what happened to it. I can’t believe people just threw it out when all it basically needed was a wooden base and a quick waxing. Excellent job 👏

Personally, I think the desk looks much better with the wood base. It turned out great.

I love it!!! You're such an awesome furniture flipper and you have great eye!!💓💓

Impressed with all the clamping and jigging!😊

Katie I think it looks so much better than the original I didn’t like the black metal base I think the wood just makes it huni ,Katie from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

That desk turned out great!! I like the wooden base better than the metal, for the exact reason that this piece was in the trash to begin with. The metal is lightweight and flimsy, so it doesn't hold up well. I hope this piece brings your asking price!!!

Oh my gosh. I only just realised that you’re Canadian, and out east. Mind you, I haven’t been following you for too long. But I’m happy to know price for items is not in USD. So much more relatable for me.

That turned out so beautiful!! Im si in love with it!! Too bad I’m in Texas! 😂Great eye!!

I love the wood base much better then the metal.
