I had a teacher's desk like that, years ago (when my son was a toddler). I'll be damned if I can remember how I wound up with it, but yeah - they don't build 'em like that any longer. And mine also had the pull-out 'shelf' on the right. I always wondered what that was for. Grading papers? I mean, it wouldn't hold a typewriter or anything (too heavy).
Now, in the basement of the duplex I'm living in, there's a solid METAL teacher's desk that someone left behind. Same drawer (etc) arrangement as your wood one, but no pull-out. I have no idea how they got it downstairs - the thing could double as a cruise ship anchor! - but there's no way in hell it's coming upstairs anytime soon. Or ever.
