I inherited mine from a friend as well - steel base and veneered chipboard top. Interestingly, the veneer is "rough" on the bottom and "fine" on top to make it appear more like one solid piece of wood!

I modified it recently, by cutting away about a third in a fairly "swoopy" shape to fit my new* chair in between it and the door with enough space for Herself to get between them. Since the top is wood, that was really easy: make a template in plywood, follow that with a router, and finish with hot glue veneer edging. Looks like it was designed like that! Laugh | :laugh:

"New" to me: it was made in the 1880 ~ 1890s ... I just had it reupholstered and made a frame with casters to lift it to desk height. Solid leather, springs, and horsehair - none of that foam which squashes down when the warranty expires. I'd had enough of paying through the nose for Chinese rubbish which leaves you sitting on the wooden base after a few months.
