Free to a good home! This roll top desk survived the classroom fires with no physical damage, but it does have smoke damage. Our insurance company does not want us to keep it in the building. It would be too smelly to keep in a house, but if you have a workshop or garage, it would be a good work desk. Please call the office at 256-2556 during the week only if you are interested. -- Patti
