This desk is at least 70 years old, but I happen to think it might be older than that. It has 2 tags marking it. One that states "The J.F. Dietz Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, No. 33 1/2" while the other says "Los Angeles Desk Company" and gives an address. The original owner stated that it was shipped from Cincinnati. It is SOLID WOOD and amazingly sturdy which means that it is a quality piece that will last a life time.
This desk stands 30.5 in tall x 32 in. deep x 50 in. long. And as if that large surface wasn't enough, this desk features 2 pullouts that measure 16.5 in. deep x 10.5 wide giving you more room to spread out. It also features 6 dove tailed drawers; 4 of which measure 24 in. deep x 9.5 in. wide that sink 4 in., 1 that is 23.25 in. deep x 19 in. wide and sinks 2 in., and 1 that is 24.25 in. deep x 9.5 in. wide and sinks an astounding 10 in. It also comes with a custom cut glass top to protect your working surface making this a fabulous investment!
This desk has been sanded, primed, painted in a light cream color {I also added a beautiful border in a light gray color to add to its character}, distresses and sanded again for a nice smooth finish, and covered in a wax paste to add protection. I then lined the drawers with a scented liner that is gray and white striped to give it a completed look.
Hope you're enjoying your afternoon ~Kell
