It is a very functional piece, with a tapered upper cabinet with two open adjustable height shelves, tambour doors, pull out writing surface and 3 drawers for storage beneath. The tambour door opens to storage space with a shelf on the left and small drawer on the right, and when needed the desktop simply pulls out to provide a useful desktop. Made in 1966, stamped on the back. It's really a beautiful piece in very good vintage condition with minor expected wear. 38" wide, 17" deep, 70.25" high, 29.25" desk height, 20.75" depth with desktop extended. $1995.

2. Vintage Lane mid-century desk produced in 1959 as part of the Acclaim line, featuring the iconic Acclaim dovetail inlay pattern with walnut veneer center and solid oak borders. The single pedestal design offers three small drawers on one side, one of which is a vertical drawer ideal for storage of a few files, while the other side and the back are open. The legs are tapered with black caps at the bottom. The size makes it functional for modern use without taking up too much floor space.

3. Jentique vintage teak secretary desk with tapered legs and a drop-down front that becomes the writing surface. Inside the upper section are a few cubbies and two small drawers, with a single dovetailed drawer below that and a pair of cabinet doors at the bottom.

The piece is in good vintage condition with some expected cosmetic wear for age and use. 29.75" wide, 16" deep, 42.75" high, 31.25" high writing surface. $995.

In the front are three slim drawers, trimmed with walnut on the front, each with molded plastic insides designed for various storage. Near the back of the top is a fold-up door exposing a walnut-lined storage space with adjustable metal racks for letter or legal-size hanging files. The top is a very light green color, the top door is a green, gray, the trim along the top sides is olive green and the side panels are very dark green. The legs and base are polished aluminum, and the back is finished in walnut.

There is a lock on the fold-up door but no working key. It is in good vintage condition with some dings, marks, scuffs, scratches, and other imperfections. It has been spruced up a bit and shows some evidence of small former repairs, areas of discoloration, and other wear from use and age. 49.5" wide, including the foot glides it is about 49.75" wide, 32" deep, and 28.5" high at the desktop and about 28.75" high at the sides. $2750.
