It is a one piece school desk and seat combo unit. It has adjustments for the seat height, seat angle and foot board (for lack of a better term) height. It's nearly 100% wood except for some fastners. Everything appears to be original and I would suggest that the condition is very, very good. I cannot locate any manufacture's name plate on it.
I purchased it at a moving sale and was told by the seller that it belonged to their mother who was of Jewish faith living in Poland during the Nazi regime.
