    I recently purchased this desk, it has no writing or markings on it anywhere. I can't seem to find any information about it anywhere but I love it! I'm going to refinish it and use it as my makeup table.

      Sounds like a wonderful idea. But before you refinish it size it up. Most of these were 26 inches or less wide. It may not hold all the make up someone who refinishes it needs.

      Thank you, It's 26 inches and just the right size! I still can find any information about it though...

      I doubt you will find much on this piece. It is actually parts of two different pieces with new hardware to the left and original hardware tucked away to the right. The contour of the left side is different than the right. Side reveal on the left where the drop top joins is about half the reveal shown on the right. Refinishing this won't hurt it a bit. Might even give it some value in the end result.
