Gonzalez (POP "department"-store at the corner of the main park and Beller) had some steel and glass top desks for around RD$ 5000 (corner units) which looked kind'a nice and won't make carcoma happy campers. They also have swivel seats etc... but I find the ones PriceMart offers to appear to be a better deal.
... J-D.
5000 pesos huh? I wonder if it is the same type that I was looking at yesterday here in Cabrera. They are asking 13,000 for what sounds to be the same as you described. I'm trying to hold out for IKEA to see what that's all about.
