[QUOTE="Gatoblanconz, post: 8521654, member: 14927"]Hi everyone I got this Davenport desk I was interested to hear peoples thoughts it's a veneer. I noticed that some of the drawer knobs are different although they are still old timber ones so I think overtime some were broken. Each drawer has a lock but I don't have a key and the main desk cavity I don't have a key for that either so because this is quite light I'm hoping to take this to a locksmith onsite shop and see if they can play around with some keys. I managed to glue the bracket on the right hand side back up. Where do people find homes in their house for these? They seem to come up quite often and I suspect they are the sort of things that people buy because they look cute but then they tend to sell them because they can't find a place for them and they are too small to really use as a desk easily. Does anyone have any good ideas about how to work these into the home environment? The other challenge is you can't put a nice vase or statuette or something on them due to the slope so they are a little bit difficult to display. Any ideas?
