Know before you buy
The pencil drawer is designed to be a slim, functional storage space for writing utensils and small office supplies. While the exact interior dimensions vary slightly by the overall desk size chosen, it is specifically proportioned to maintain the desk's sleek profile.
The desk stands at a standard height of 30 inches. Because of the trestle base design, you have open access from the front, though the decorative skirting does sit beneath the desktop, so you should ensure your office chair height is compatible with the clearance.
As a piece of solid wood furniture, the desk is susceptible to changes in humidity. To minimize movement, we recommend keeping the desk away from direct heat sources like radiators and maintaining a consistent indoor climate.
The Bellingham Trestle Writing Desk is typically delivered in sections to ensure safe transport. Minor assembly is required to attach the trestle base to the desktop, which can generally be completed with basic household tools.
All available hardwoods are high-quality, but they vary in density and grain pattern. For example, woods like Hard Maple are exceptionally dense and resistant to dents, while others like Cherry or Walnut offer distinct, rich color profiles that will darken and develop a patina over time.
Yes, the 1-inch thick solid wood top is sturdy enough to support most standard clamp-style monitor arms. However, ensure the clamp does not interfere with the Mission edge detailing to maintain a secure grip.
