Any ideas for a good use for about 40 2nd hand office desks and pedestals?

We've cleared out an office here at work and ended up with a load of desks and pedestals (about 40 desks and 40 peds). 2nd hand but in pretty good condition.
Plan was to take them down to a local charity Community Furniture Project who'd agreed to take them. So our movers loaded them onto a lorry and took them down and now say they don't want them! Grrrrr.

Seems a terrible waste to tip them and don't really want to use them for firewood!

Any ideas?


Cheers,
James

There is certain to be an second hand office furniture place nearby.

Desktops make good shed roofing and flooring.

Being a terrible scrounger, I'd take one off you to replace my other half's rickety workstation! Whereabouts in Surrey are you?

I might be interested in a few too please? For a school in Frimley?

Thanks James
