I found a hutch online a few months ago that was the perfect dimensions for the desk in our office. I almost didn't buy the hutch because I had to buy the desk that matched it and we did not need another desk! I took a risk, bought the set with the intention of redoing the desk and selling it. It was a success! I bought both items for $90 and was able to sell the desk (that I spray painted black and added brushed nickel hardware) for $150 just a few hours after listing it on KSL. We stained the hutch to match the desk and trim in our office.
