The rolltop desk doesn't fully close over the typewriter. Beware of the type writer feet as they leak sticky goo and take out of the varnish on the desk. I had to send my set back even though mechanics on it are very cute and the construction is ingenious. It's completely metal and is a near perfect replica of a real typewriter, minus the ink and separate buttons working of course!
