My wife purchased this lovely vidaXL Wooden French Secretary Desk from Robert Dyas (https://www.robertdyas.co.uk/vidaxl-wooden-french-secretary-desk), but it arrived with several defects. We received a refund and were told not to return it, so we’re hoping someone who enjoys furniture repair or upcycling can give it a new life instead of it going to waste.
Condition / Issues
* The drawer doesn’t fully close once the legs are attached
* The front flap/table doesn’t come all the way down
* A few paint imperfections on the finish
Otherwise structurally solid and a great candidate for someone with the right tools/skills
Good Bits
* Beautiful French‐style design
* Solid feel and nice proportions
* Fully boxed back up for easy transport
Ideal for: upcyclers, DIYers, students, hobby woodworkers, or anyone who likes restoring furniture
Pickup
* Location: Maidenhead (SL6)
* Ground‐floor access, easy to load
* Free to whoever can collect
If you’d like it, just message me and I’ll arrange a pickup time. Would love for this to go to someone who can fix it up and enjoy it.
Fair Chance Policy: I’ll wait before choosing a recipient to give more people a chance to reply.
