Large Wood Clemco Desk (Near Mooseheart 60510)
Oversized! You'll probably need a pickup truck for transport. Because I used this in our garage for art and craft projects, it shows cosmetic wear & needs a good cleaning. Someone with experience would be able to refinish it & it's still a solid stable work table especially if you need a heavy, large workspace with tons of storage. The images show a drawer missing (upper right) BUT I DO have that drawer. Width: 65.5" inches Depth: 36" inches Height: 30.5" inches
