Most examples of this design are regular desk height however this example was custom made to be a receptionist desk which also works great for those seeking a tall desk where you can stand instead of sit for ergonomic purposes.

The Rosewood tambour doors open to reveal two storage compartments, the middle section folds down via three brass hinges allowing this to be used as a partners desk and provides further utility as a reception room desk, and three pull out drawers with a pen / pencil storage area in the center. The lower footrest is imbedded with leather while all four legs are finished with thin brass feet. This example was also customized with rear and side privacy panels, such incredible use of luxury materials and quality craftsmanship as you would expect from Dunbar in the 1960s.
