Roll Top Desk

By candix1127, 9 January, 2009
Description

It is a 2 piece roll top desk. The bottom has a back with 2 cupboards and 2 drawers by the floor and 2 drawers by the top. It has 2 spindles for front legs. The top has to large drawers. When the roll top is opened it has 6 small drawers and one small door. It also include 2 secret compartments that look like detailing. It is in great condition, the only problem that i know with it is that the roll top does need some fixing, the under cloth is loose. Also the spindles on the top come off when pulled but easily go back in. I thought about glueing them, but I did not know if that would deter from the value. Thank you so much for your help!
