Know before you buy
The cherry and walnut desks are finished with a hand-rubbed linseed oil and wax, while the maple desk is finished with tung oil and wax. Both methods are eco-friendly and designed to highlight the natural grain of the wood.
The desk provides 24.5 inches of under-desk clearance. We recommend measuring the height of your chair's armrests to ensure they can slide comfortably beneath the desk surface.
The drawers are built with traditional dovetail joinery for structural integrity and feature high-end metal slides, ensuring they open and close smoothly even when fully loaded.
The Heartwood Shaker Library Desk is handcrafted and shipped as a finished piece. No assembly is required.
Because the desk uses an oil and wax finish, you should avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Simply wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth and occasionally apply a high-quality furniture wax or oil to maintain the wood's luster.
