You're kidding! I had a gorgeous mahogany escritoire that I got for free as well. I got tired of it after I had to move for the third time in 10 months though lol, so I left it behind.
Surprisingly, it was in a kids bedroom and aside from some crayon marks was in amazing shape! Older wood furniture wasn’t made with modern apartment buildings and frequent moves in mind. My wife’s grandparents parked their butts and had the luxury of not moving for 60 years to accumulate all the heavy furniture they did, we’ve ditched all our furniture and started over twice in 5 years.
