Vintage Typewriter Desk, $150
- Three drawers
- Brass handles
- 37″W x 27″D x 31″H
- Added extension on its left side gives you tons of additional space and easily folds up and down (see pics); with the extension, the desk is 55″W
- There’s a sliding pullout on the right side that provides more additional space if desired (see pic)
- The top slides out, leftover from its days as an actual Typewriter Desk; I’ve never once removed it (see pics)
- Given that typewriters weigh 30-45lbs, desks like these were built to take their weight, as well as the immense shocks and vibrations caused by typing at high speeds
- Hidden shelf underneath is wobbly and could use some nailing if you decide to use it
- Desk has “worn” marks all over (e.g. click on closed drawer pic); the top is in very good shape
- There are chunks missing from two of the feet (see pics); have no clue what happened. Never noticed them until I went to clean them. Does not seem to affect how much weight it can hold or stability (had a 55lb standing desk converter + printer + laptop + monitor on it).
