Complementing Info On Desk Antique Furniture
10 September 2010
I use a silicon mat with this tray, making it very useful for mealtime. Remove the mat and voile: it is a desk with convenient grooves for pencils and pens. The legs are hollow support pillars that create a space to store newspapers, magazines and the TV Guide. In addition, the central area of the tray tilts out to support books and magazines for optimum reading comfort. I like it a lot.
Need someone who is good with antique furniture.?
My boyfriends dad is selling this old looking desk. It looks like an antique writing desk which has a black stamped leather top with gold pressed emblems on it in a pattern. It also has peg legs with very tiny wheels at the bottom and on the front has three drawers, two deep ones on the sides and one shallow long one in the middle. The wood is I think was you would call “dove tailed” or it is fitted like a puzzle piece and is solid wood. I haven’t yet been able to take a picture of it but I did find a similar one online. It looks almost exactly as the one in the link except for there is no barred decoration below them.What I’m wondering is around when desk antique Furniture it could have been made? I did find a serial number stamped on the bottom and also an inspector stamp but nothing else. I know the website says circa 1890 but I’m not sure. He is willing to sell it to me for $100, I’m not so much interested in the real value but more in the look of it, but I would like to know maybe an estimate to see if I’m getting a deal or not. The condition is OK, a few scratches on the top from use and you can tell that someone tried to paint the edges in gold, and also the right drawer was very sticky but upon switching it with the other, it’s a bit smoother. Sorry for the long description, thank you (:Here is the link to the similar one I found. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.elisabethjamesantiques.co.uk/new/productimages/victorian%2520walnut%2520writing%2520desk%2520by%2520jas%2520schoolbred%2520a_1163630426.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.elisabethjamesantiques.co.uk/Antique-Office-Furniture/antique-writing-desk-antique-19th-Century-ladies-writing-desk-by-JAS-Schoolbred.htm&usg=__6JQFfdWMI-N9OCwZH2Vas6Q5hNM=&h=375&w=500&sz=43&hl=en&start=11&tbnid=WJ9VtDhtgC60aM:&tbnh=98&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dvictorian%2Bstyle%2Bwriting%2Bdesk%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DXI also found another that has the exact same top with the circular edges. http://ebayimages.goantiques.com/dbimages/JVR5449/JVR5449U02120801.jpg

Comments About Reproduction Mahogany Desk
I love the look of this computer desk – especially with the additional hutch added. So, if you are going for looks and don’t plan on using it at all – go for it.
PROS:
Attractive aesthetic features
CONS:
EXTREMELY easy to scratch any of the surfaces
Time consuming to assemble (I did both the hutch and desk at the same time – took 6 hours by my self)
Plastic “locks” on front keyboard drawer broke after 6 weeks of use (they keep the panel with the aesthetic handles up when not in use)
Not ideal for larger computer towers
Difficult to reach back of computer tower
Definitely not a good choice if you have small children who use the computer. Even for frequent adult users, the quality just isn’t there. I rarely regret my purchases, but this one is one I wish I had never ever made. Poor quality to invest your money in. Ah, but then, you get what you pay for. Pity … it looks so nice from a distance.
I have been a customer of amazon for everything I buy on net for a long time but this piece of junk
has made me think that I lucked out
This was the worst purchase, advertisement that its cherry is false and its mainly compressed wood except the table top
the desk is unstable and rips apart despite providing steel support on each side
I dont think it can even stand the weight of the cpu
sorry amazon I got tricked and so are the others
deepak
The desk is sturdy and stylish. It comes in pieces and assembles easily. The fasteners are packaged by group and clearly labeled. I had one piece that was broken but I glued it back together and fastened to the keyboard drawer as-is without any problems. The drawer on the left is pretty small. The door on the left should hold a full size tower without problems. I have an iMac, so did not need to hide a tower. I use this space for storage using old Amazon.com shipping boxes to organize things.
There is a foot helf on the bottom. I put my power strip, external HDD, and some packaged software down there out of the way.
The keyboard drawer is a nice size. It holds a slim keyboard and a mouse with pad nicely. There is even a little room for a scratch pad behind the keyboard.
This is junk. I am so tired of putting new screws in this desk to keep it from leaning to the right or the left. Yes, the bolts are well tightened, yet it is so cheaply made, they don’t hold the desk straight. The draws get stuck every five minutes. I am going to have to tear this apart to dispose of it so I can get a new desk. Bad, bad quality.
