If you push the leather writing surface in first, it can jam up the drawer and takes some effort to reorientate. Please review the detailed images for full condition - the desk has extensive surface history, but presents a beautiful aged aesthetic and remains fully functional - with some care, it will continue to serve for many lifetimes. less
