I'm not sure, but this desk appears to be a Jens Risom piece to me. Not sure about the chair. What do you think? Is it worth $75 + a drive?

Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot for the quick response! Definitely seems like a nice mid-century desk and certainly worth the price. Any ideas on the chair? That one seems sort of generic to me, but nice none the less.

Nice, but I'd probably pass.
The bottom drawer isn't well aligned, and the finish looks thirsty.
but I'm usually wrong.

These are part of Dillingham's line of 'Esprit' furniture.
I usually see them attributed to Martin Borenstein which may or may not be true.
$75 is a steal.
Ive sold the few ive found for around $700 a pop and theyre incredible easy to refinish but usually only need a good oiling.

STUFF is quite nice. Well built. Good design. Someone of note DID design for them, but I forget who.

Thanks for the input
Judging by the photos, it looks in decent shape, a little dirty and the wood does look thirsty. Nothing that a little cleaning and a fresh oiling wouldn't take care of. I'll be picking it up this Saturday if all goes to plan. I'll bring a little extra cash with me in case the seller has a few extras they might be willing to part with.

The seller just notified me that the desk and chair are no longer for sale. I guess he figured out what google was... Oh well.

No not everyone, just the people who run successful businesses and would'nt pass up an opportunity to add inventory to their showrooms and make an easy profit. Im guessing Krenit is not one of those people.

The owner said he was 'informed' that the desk was worth significantly more than he originally thought. I say good for him. I'm not a dealer, nor do I really need another desk, so it's no big deal to me. Though perhaps I will be a little tighter lipped around here knowing there are dealers lurking for a 'steal'.
@jdip just out of curiosity, why do you ask? Where are you located?

I don't think it was the same desk. I'm up in MA.
