Read moreLarge 1970’s Double Pedestal Desk by Abbess
£0FREE Delivery on this desk within approximately 130 miles of Cambridgeshire. Some more remote and rural areas will incur a charge.
A very generous and Retro style 1970’s desk in teak veneer. It came to us from a small printing business office in Kent, where it had been since new. We love the proportions, the 70’s styling and the perfect Retro handles. With a large work surface and lots of storage this would make a perfect work from home, study or even small business desk. Plenty of space for very regular use. It is a heavyweight piece and well constructed from teak veneer with steel legs.
There are two pull out shelves to the top of the pedestals. The bottom left hand drawer is also a double height filing drawer.
Such a great Retro 70’s look!
This is a large deep and heavy desk, so please ensure you check all measurements for access and siting, before purchasing. The legs can be removed if you have a narrower door or access point. Thank you.
