Know before you buy
You can choose from four sustainably sourced solid hardwoods: cherry, maple, oak, or walnut. Each wood type offers distinct grain patterns and color variations that will age uniquely over time.
The distance from the floor to the bottom of the apron is 25.75 inches. We recommend measuring the arm height of your current office chair to ensure it clears the apron when pushed in.
The pencil drawer provides a standard storage compartment for stationery and small supplies. The drop-front keyboard tray is designed to tilt downward, allowing for a more ergonomic typing position while keeping your keyboard tucked away when not in use.
The desk is finished with a low-VOC, water-based urethane. This creates a hard, protective barrier that is resistant to everyday wear while remaining eco-friendly and easy to maintain with a soft, damp cloth.
Yes, the drawers feature traditional dovetail joinery for structural integrity and steel, full-extension glides. These glides are rated for a 110-pound load capacity, ensuring smooth operation even when the drawers are fully loaded.
As this piece is handcrafted in Vermont, it is typically shipped fully assembled or with minimal attachment required for the legs. Please check your specific delivery documentation for confirmation on your order's arrival state.
