Description

This is a Florence Knoll Partners Desk or Executive Table, Model 2485, designed in 1961. It was manufactured in the 1960s by Knoll International. It features a walnut top that sits on a chromed-steel 4 star base. Florence designed this piece to serve both as a large desk, and also as a work table to promote collaboration. The design’s dimensions also render the piece appropriate for use as a dining table if desired.

The table measures 72 inches long and 32 inches deep. The underside of the desk has a wooden X that has been added to lift it about 1.75 inches taller than it would typically sit. This can be removed if desired prior to shipping. The desk typically has a height of 29.25 inches. It is approximately 31 inches tall with the additional wooden X underneath. The desk does show expected wear from previous use, but overall is in good condition. The top has recently been refinished. Please see photos.

What is Freight shipping?

Freight shipping is how most furniture is shipped: secured by hand on a pallet and transported on a truck.

Furniture arrives curbside, often on the shipping pallet for protection.

Freight shipments can take longer and are more costly than regular mail, but help to prevent damage to furniture during delivery.
