Description:
Structure composed of eighteen separate parts: three vertical poles with tracks forming two column units, into which triangular metal brackets are inserted, in the left hand column to hold up shelves and a fall-front teak desk unit with two interior drawers, and cubby holes, the flap opening with an ivory pull, two shelves above. A plastic cone-form lamp with stainless elbow joint, slides into the left hand column as a desk reading lamp. The right hand column has a shelf with teak dividers for record albums or folios, over a shelf with drop metal band to hide a fluorescent light bulb, over a three-drawer chest unit supported by black painted iron bars inserted into the metal columns, the drawers with ivory pulls matching the desk.
