    Roll top desk cubbies?
    I'm repairing a roll top desk for a friend, purchased recently at an auction. The cubbies have open back 'drawers' made of woodgrained paper over thin cardboard, similar to that on a tablet of paper. Any idea about the age? Any idea why open back rather than real drawers?

    Doesn't sound too old with that kind of construction, mine is 25 YO and all the drawers are dovetailed.

How does one unlock the drawers? The rolltop lock does not function and the drawers on the left are open. The locking mechanisms are spring loaded hooks that hook over the back of the drawers when they are closed. How do I get the right drawers open?
