    Here are the before and after pictures. Before doesn't look like it needs work in the pictures. But the desk was in Missouri and I was in Texas. When I got it delivered to Texas I discovered it did need work. Some Dilbert had glued canvas strips on the roll part and made it so the roll wouldn't move. I have refinished it making the top lighter and the bottom darker. Desk is 60 inches wide and 72 inches tall including the extra file. Never seen a file for the top of a roll top desk. File cabinet and chair are modern Stickley made just like an antique bought off ebay in used but like new condition. Stickley new is way expensive. Now what to put in 75 drawers?
