Repairing a Stiff Roll Top Desk

RE: Repairing a Stiff Roll Top Desk By southeastgeorgiapeach (126) Profile Contact I inherited my Father's antique rolltop desk and it needed some dust removed from the rolltop to make it open smoothly. I vacuumned the rolltop while closed along every movable part and moved the rolltop up and vacuumed the channels it moved in as much as possible. I also used furniture lemon oil on the channels and rolltop too. It worked for me. I have also used candle wax on sticky drawers before. Maybe that would help too. Good luck.
