AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The most comfortable way to read! And a combination with a little writing desk included!
Your book sits at an angle in front of you, you have your hands free and there is room for a cup of tea on the green leather tabletop beside it.
Two sides fold out and the top is adjustable, and there is also a deep drawer under the green leather section.
Also two pull-out panels for, e.g., candlesticks, and a pen tray under a wooden flap.
Adjustable in 4 height positions from 67 cm to 80 cm with a wooden locking pin.
With 5 metal swivel castors.
The height of the base is 9 cm.
It can also be used at your bed, provided there is at least 10 cm of clearance underneath.
On the front of the pedestal some veneer pieces have come loose; a number of veneer pieces have been added. In total about 15 cm of veneer strips to re-glue.
The upper section and baluster are in good condition with no cracks or edge stains in the leather panel.
Dismantlable in two parts and to be collected, as it is considered too fragile to pack.
