To the back of the desk, there are a further three working drawers and below, there are two large working fielded panel cupboards, with hinged doors, each having a shelf. These cupboards make ideal storage compartments.

The desk can be dismantled into three sections for easy transport. As this is a large desk, it means there is significant storage space available.
