Oak desk

I got this finished the other day. My customer had seen a similar one I built and asked for this with provision for files in the two bottom drawers. He also wanted it transportable so the top and upper drawers are separate from the pedestals. It is made in AWO with a 2 pac clear finish. Drawer runners are all soft close.

Very nice :)

Looks like there is a runner of some sort for the suspension files to slide on. Can you buy such a thing or did you make that too - assuming I'm not seeing things?

You can buy them, or more cheaply just inset a couple of stainless rods into the front and back of the drawers at the right width apart for the files you are using.

Thanks guys, Well Robert Mark is correct I did use stainless rods for the files, they sit on the top edges of the drawer box sides and are fitted through the front and rear. ;)
