Good afternoon, Lori,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I'd love to see some photographs of the side of the desk, as well as a photograph that shows the base more clearly...are additional photographs possible?
Thanks!

I've sent them
Thanks very much, Lori, for the additional photographs.
Spinet desks have a top that is split across the center, horizontally, with the front part lifting up and folding back. I can't tell if your desk does that but will assume it does; if you'd like this appraisal to include more description about the interior, please add additional photographs to show that.
