(This beautiful quality desk has a couple of unusual features.
The first of these is the half partners design which basically
means the reverse has functioning cupboard doors, but the
drawers on the reverse are false. The front also has 11 drawers
instead of the far more common 9 drawers normally found in
antique partners desks, The extra drawer in each pedestal desk
results in a much shallower drawers than normal and therefore
it is much easier to find things which you are looking for when
routing around. The dimensions are perfect for just about any
home, or office, with the desk not being overpoweringly large
but certainly large enough to be more than fit for purpose.)
