For awhile there young people were buying ikea crap, but I’m seeing a trend towards the great old things like this that will literally last a lifetime (or many lifetimes). Our bedroom set was hubbys grandparents set, over 100 years old and still great!

That's a great desk. I have my great Grandfather's roll top, it has three drawers on each side, long drawer in the middle, multiple slots on top , small narrow drawers under the slots, and a little cubby with a door. And a row of little pull out boxes I guess you would call them. Solid oak. I love it❤
