    Now the "Resolute Desk" has been removed for "refinishing".
    Do you imagine the administration has any idea about proper handling of antique furniture?

    I'd like to know where they are storing it properly, refinishing it properly, went to Mar-a-Lago or if went to the dump with the rest of the East Wing?  It will most definitely come back with gold leaf if it ever comes back at all!:(

    Really folks?  Are we reduced to this kind of junk posting?  Don't believe everything you see without verifying it please. This isn't a social media platform. The Resolute Desk was refurbished in February and returned in March. This is not news.

    Recent conspiracy posts show a blurry picture of a desk that looks similar to it located in Mar a Lago. It's not the Resolute Desk.

    Glad to hear it is back in place.
    And yes the one in Florida is a replica apparently.
    Thanks
