The also a lot of wear in the runners which suggests this desk has been well used for a very long time. It slightly puzzled me the runner wear but I think it is because the drawers are so deep. If they are pulled right out they tip down and then if not lifted to push back the runners get worn.</p><p><br /></p><p>1) A very worn runner that has been partly arrested by a knot. 2) Bevelled drawer bottom and a worn runner</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]261382[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]261381[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
