Know before you buy
The desk is wrapped in an ivory faux shagreen embossed leather. This provides a unique, tactile texture that is both durable and visually striking.
The desk features three integrated drawers. These are equipped with decorative brass trim and functional keyhole hardware, providing sufficient space for stationery, documents, and small office essentials.
The desk measures 60 inches wide, 30 inches deep, and 30 inches high. It is a substantial piece, weighing 170 pounds, which reflects its high-quality construction from poplar solids.
The Monroe Writing Desk is typically delivered as a fully assembled piece. Given its weight and construction, we recommend having assistance available when moving it to your desired location.
This is a transitional piece that bridges traditional and modern design. The serpentine front and tapered legs offer a classic silhouette, while the faux shagreen finish adds a contemporary, sophisticated edge.
To maintain the finish, simply wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the embossed texture of the leather wrap.
