This 1950s extra large example features two cupboards, two drawers, three shelves and a desk. The cupboard and one shelf has a couple of small chips to the veneer, which are normally not seen. The depth below is for the desk; the shelves 31 cm deep, each unit/shelf can be fitted wherever required). Measures: Height 115cm, depth 31 / 46 (desk) cm, width 239cm.
