The E-TOMB - Tweet and Like Me Even When I’m Dead!

This limited edition desk is sleek in design and rich in aviation history. The aluminum frame, once covered in cloth, is exposed to reveal design details of the elevators and rudders used to form this fine piece of executive furniture. The desk surface is ½” tempered glass with wooden legs that can be stained or clear coated as you prefer. Leave the surface clear powder coated as pictured or choose from a variety of powder coatings in several striking colors.
