School desk
04 May 2022
Description

It is a one piece school desk and seat combo unit. It has adjustments for the seat height, seat angle and foot board (for lack of a better term) height. It's nearly 100% wood except for some fastners. Everything appears to be original and I would suggest that the condition is very, very good. I cannot locate any manufacture's name plate on it.

Dimensions

It's approximately 3' High x 3' Deep x 26" Wide.

Provenance

I purchased it at a moving sale and was told by the seller that it belonged to their mother who was of Jewish faith living in Poland during the Nazi regime.

Hello Delia. So sorry as thought that I originally included the demensions. They are 3' high' x 3' deep x 26" wide. I would like to sell this desk at the suggested asking price of $600 on your marketplace. Can you arrange for that?

I've updated this with the dimensions.
If you've marked this as "for sale" and "public," it's already listed and visible on our marketplace so you may expect to get emails from interested parties.
If you need help adjusting the status of this, let me know and I'll ask our IT/customer service dept to make the change - I can't do it from here.
Other questions, just ask...we're here to help!
