Mid-Century Modern Walnut Floating Desk by Jens Risom

Description

I love the size and design of this desk with the open shelves that are adjustable! Petite, beautiful patina and attaches to a wall to give it the floating look.

Originally came attached to a larger executive Jens Risom desk to make an L shaped desk. Complete your Jens Risom or make it your own by attaching legs or brackets.

The back is finished so it could float in the middle of the room.

Hairpin legs could be attached as well, many options to make this fit your space.

Measures 41 x 16.5 x 26T
27.5 width for chair
25.5 floor to underside of desk

**Desk only, no hardware to attach/anchor to wall -- the desk has pre-drilled holes

Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: Wear to top and rear, light scratches and nicks. Legs have deeper gauges towards the base. Black lacquered shelves show some wear.
