The desk has a lock and key to the drop front, and three lower drawers to keep the interior safely stored (the top drawer is missing the interior lock).

The bureau drop front can be held open by the two hinged supports that pull out automatically when the desk lid opens.

The desk interior opens to a writing desk worktop and 11 varying sized pigeon holes, above a small drawer with a wooden handle, and a lower storage area. These are perfect for storing documents books, and writing utensils.
