Know before you buy
The Laval Writing Desk features a solid ash wood frame accented with brass-plated fittings. The desktop surface is finished with high-quality leather, providing a tactile and durable workspace.
The desk is highly customizable, with seven distinct oak or walnut base finishes and several leather grades available. We recommend selecting a wood tone that complements your existing furniture and choosing a leather grade based on your preferred texture and grain consistency.
Yes, the leather surface is designed to be a functional workspace. While it offers a luxurious feel, it is durable enough for daily use; however, we recommend using a desk pad if you are concerned about potential indentations from heavy pressure or sharp objects.
The desk measures 32.3 inches in height, 43.3 inches in width, and 24.8 inches in depth. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for home offices or study nooks where you want a statement piece that doesn't overwhelm the room.
The Laval Writing Desk is a premium piece of furniture, and assembly requirements can vary based on the specific delivery service provided. We recommend confirming with your delivery team whether white-glove assembly is included to ensure the solid ash frame and brass fittings are handled correctly.
