The solid wood legs are tapered, lighter in tone, and provide a subtle contrast to the main body. The desk features a functional arrangement of five drawers: three small upper drawers with round wooden knobs and four wide lower drawers with integrated horizontal handles. An integrated mirror and open shelf add to its versatility. The gently curved side edges and balanced proportions emphasize the desk’s lightness and sense of order. The surface is smooth, with minor scratches and signs of use consistent with age, but without major damage.
