Study/office desks
The Refugee Orientation Centre Trust (ROC) has three desks suitable for office or study, in good working order. We are seeking a donation to our organisation in exchange for these desks, that can be viewed and collected from our rooms in Kent Steet, Frankton.
Dimensions:
Desk 2: 680 deep x 745 high x 1220 long
Desk 3: 685 deep x 740 high x 1500 long
Desk 4: 900 deep x 710 high x 1500 long.
As seen in the photos these desks are strong and could even be great for a workshop. The desks are available for collection in the New Year.
