Description

This solid knotty pine governor's desk and dresser serves full desk and dresser needs. As the pictures show, the desk interior has 5 drawers, 6 vertical file slots and 1 cabinet as well as a full writing surface. Two drawers above the desk can be used for either desk or dresser storage. The desk has no damage despite my use for 4 high school years. The paper on the desk top is only attached by scotch tape so is easily removable without damage.
