Know before you buy
The desk measures 47.2 inches wide, 23.6 inches deep, and 29.5 inches high. Its compact footprint is specifically designed to fit comfortably in smaller rooms, such as home offices or hotel suites.
The desk includes a circular cutout inspired by a traditional inkwell. This opening allows you to neatly route charging cables and power cords through the surface to keep your workspace clutter-free.
Natural Oak showcases the light, raw tone of the wood, while Fumed Oak undergoes a specialized process to achieve a much darker, richer, and more dramatic aesthetic. Both options are crafted from solid oak and offer the same durability.
While the desk is perfect for laptops and tablets, its compact Victorian-inspired design may feel tight for large desktop monitors or extensive multi-screen setups. It is best suited for focused tasks and minimalist workstations.
The Slab Individual Desk is designed for straightforward assembly. All necessary hardware and instructions are included to ensure you can set up your workstation quickly.
