I have a 1920's roll-top desk that is in okay condition but needs restoration.

I got it off the side of a driveway thinking I would restore it but I just have too many projects.

At this point I would like to give it to anyone who would want it. Anyone have any ideas? I don't really want to do craigslist or anything like that because I don't want a bunch of random folks coming to my house.

Wood furniture is, for all its pros and cons, heavy.

Whenever I get an idea for a project, this is always the following thought. "Ugh, I don't wanna have to move that."
