    I love these kinds of desks, and always want something like it. Serendipity, or SerenDadipity.

    Nice. Get a cushion mate. Something that can fit into that slot below the seat.

    Great looking desk/cupboard and it seems to have plenty of storage options that you will soon be filling up.
    I love the way it transforms into an innocent cupboard full of subversive stationery.

    Maybe you should check out your basement to see what other forgotten treasures are lurking there.

    Great desk - looks like oak.
    I love a desk that opens out and then folds away.
    Thanks for sharing.

    theres no seat, theyre just part of the desktop.
    ive moved down a collapsible chair... fits well beside it, since i needed to move some stuff over cuz when i opened it it took up like 7" off to each side/

    yeah its a fun desk... but its not made of all wood. apparently, back then before my times, they in fact did have fake wood with wood "cover". its not really noticeable, but you can tell.
    oh well... everyones not rich enough back then to afford something that big to be made out of oak..but it still looks nice and works all the same.

    its a bit nicer but not by much, i have trouble with my I's and another letter i cant remember which one... i will get it right eventually though... thanks!
    go a better chair now... something a bit higher.

    i think that was the only real big thing down there, nothing else much. i was actually trying to find the 6 ball to the pool table, it seems to have dissapeared off the face of the planet
    we have been searching for it for too long >.<
    but i was searching upon it and i was going through everywhere and came across it. i completely forgot it was a desk until i opened it up and looked through it XD
