Please note, the marble tops were designed to be freestanding; which means they are meant to rest by gravity alone on the tops of the bedsides. They are very heavy; they are not supposed to be glued down. The dovetailed drawers are smooth running and close flush to the frame; they also feature the original brass drawer handles and the original brass ormolu mounts. These besides are solid in joint and ready to use.
