Lea desk
« on: June 22, 2018, 11:13:06 am »
I have this small desk my parents bought me 40-45 years ago. It says "Lea The Furniture People" inside one of the drawers.
The drawers are solid wood, some other parts of the desk are solid and some look like  pressed wood.
Any info I found online is older desks. Lea Furniture went out of business in 2014.
I was going to give it away, but thought I'd check to see here if it might be worth anything?
Thanks for any info.

Hey,, Neat !!  Has the Texas star on the drawer pulls and looks to be in good condition !!  No great money but I would ask $100. for it !!  Looks to be a perfect size for  a sewing cabinet !!  Or for a kitchen nook !!

I am  unfamiliar with the “Texas Star”.  Is it an eagle with a chest shaped like a star?

No Texas star, just a eagle.

Ahhh !! So it is !!  Just as good !!  I didn`t blow it up bigger,, just looked like the Texas star to me in the smaller pics !!  But the Eagle is good too !!  Still ask $100. !!  I could see several uses for a nice small  desk like this !!

Thanks for the help.
I consider it a kids desk, maybe it is not. I was a kid when my parents bought it for me. It's too small for me, 30" tall, but then I'm 6'. I can barely fit my legs under it.

Interesting fact: 
29 inch is the standard desk height. And is considered elbow height seated for 95% of American males.
