Thanks for looking.
My sewing table would be familiar to most of you who are from American schools and some other countries might have had them too. It is an old teachers desk, the kind where you have to open the middle drawer before the side ones will open due to a special catch. When I bought it, the guy at GW said the side drawers were all "locked" and since they did not have a key to it, he would let me have it for $10! Load'er up! I knew what the problem was, but he was so sure they were locked, and gave me no room in the conversation to tell him, and when he said $10, I was sold. The top is solid and original wood, the bottom was painted pine green by someone before I bought it. I love it. All my little stuff and tools fits in it, and it has two pull out work surfaces, one on either side of me as I am sewing. Bonus, it is the perfect height for me and my sewing chair.
