<p>The desk is adorable and I only use it for decorative purposes. It is not real sound as far as being able to use it. It needs some tightening in the mostlly the legs and adjoining places. I was given to me by an antique store owner but I did not receive any information with it. Also the piece was stripped of any coating. I painted it red just before Christmas because it fits with my decour. I certainly would love to get some information as to when or where it was made and the value if possible.</p>
