The desk is more like a table with one hidden drawer. There are dragons on each corner near the table top and each leg terminates with lions paws. The table/desk is ornately carved with the exception of the actual top which is smooth and shiny. The second section of this piece is a cabinet which you set on the top of the table. It is as intricately carved and has one hidden drawer and a little door you open that exposes a small storage area and another small hidden drawer. There is a matching chair that has a strange shape. Not the typical dragon chair because of the 90 degree back.
