Know before you buy
The kneehole height is 25¾ inches. Most standard office chairs with adjustable height settings will fit comfortably, but if you use a chair with thick armrests, you should measure their height to ensure they clear the underside of the desk.
Mortise and tenon is a traditional joinery technique where one piece of wood is inserted into a hole in another, creating a mechanical lock that is significantly stronger than simple glue or screw joints. This ensures the desk remains stable and wobble-free even after years of daily use.
The desk features ball-bearing full-extension slides, which allow the drawer to pull out completely so you can access items at the very back. They are not soft-close, but they are designed for smooth, reliable operation.
Yes, the Landmark Pencil Drawer Desk is handcrafted to order, allowing you to select from a variety of solid wood species and stain finishes. We recommend ordering wood samples if you are trying to color-match existing pieces in your home or office.
Solid wood is a natural material that can react to significant changes in humidity, but the 1-inch thick top and high-quality Amish construction methods are designed to minimize movement. Keeping the desk away from direct heat sources like radiators or vents will help maintain its integrity over time.
