I noticed this desk at Goodwill for $20. I thought it might look good in my office but didn’t pick it up. Many people stopped to look but no one bought it. I went back the next day and it was still there. Again a couple of people were looking at it but no one was making any effort to buy it. I pulled the tag off of the desk and went up front to pay for it. Then I noticed the people who were looking at it looking at me with sad puppy faces. It must be the desk of indecision or something.

So far I am quite happy with it and it has proved more of an asset to my office than I would have thought. Now to just get the rest of the space finished. The picture was right after I moved the desk downstairs, before it was properly cleaned. It did clean up quite nicely and after a coat of lemon oil began to show the original cherry wood finish.

The desk has no maker or brand that I could find. All interior pieces including the drawers appear to be hardwood, and are dovetail joined. The leather top is rather worn and looks to have been a replacement for the original. I may replace it in the future with proper leather. There is no way to determine the value or original price of the desk, but it was certainly well worth the $20 to me.
