Here's another one...Roll top desk

Another storage unit find. Roll top desk, VERY heavy. No marking but does have a little light and ungrounded cord/plug in. Sny idea of wood type, age, value?

 

Not horribly old but not new either. Looks good and solid.

 

Not very attractive and looks like a cheaper ‘reproduction’ at first glance. Looks newer to me (maybe 1980’s or so) Maybe stained/varnished pine or something (but Im no furniture expert,so might be very wrong) Wait for the members that really know their furniture

 

i concur......mostly..

 

I like that well placed... ‘mostly’

 

I have one just like it
Dad bought it...stained it and gave it to me
it's now a time capsule.....full of my stuff and papers and files and vintage collectables ...from the 1980's....

 

This one is on Facebook in my area. To James' point, They just marked down from $200 to Free.

 

So, not very old, or the best design, or particularly valuable, but it still is a very useful piece of furniture, keeps papers, computer, and everything else covered when not in use, and with a good cleaning and waxing is more than likely to improve its appearance substantially, and if you did't pay too much for it maybe not a bad deal.

 

Thinking mid-20th century walnut veneer.

 

Oh no....HARSH!!! LOL!

 

They're solid and weigh too much to move. I forsee them going along with house sales, like pianos. Let the buyers deal with them.
