Know before you buy
You can absolutely place it in the middle of a room. The desk features finished lacquered panels on both the front and back, ensuring it looks polished from every angle.
The desk is built with a solid walnut edge along the front, which is specifically designed to protect the most high-traffic area from nicks and scratches. The overall construction uses high-quality walnut veneer and MDF to balance durability with a refined aesthetic.
The desk includes two drawers, each measuring 3 inches high, 15 inches wide, and 15 inches deep. They are sized perfectly for stationery, pens, and small office supplies, though they are not designed to hold standard letter-sized hanging files.
The desk has a weight capacity of 75 pounds, which is sufficient for a laptop, monitor, and standard desk accessories. The individual drawers are rated to hold up to 40 pounds each.
Each desk is individually built to order in Los Angeles. Because they are handcrafted rather than mass-produced, every piece is signed and numbered by the maker to ensure it meets the brand's specific quality standards.
