Know before you buy
The desk frame and legs are crafted from durable bayur wood, while the tabletop is constructed from a combination of MDF and mindi-wood, finished with a white-streaked natural veneer.
The desk is designed for organization, featuring one large main drawer, four smaller hutch drawers, and two integrated shelves for storing stationery and small office essentials.
The Celestine writing desk requires assembly upon arrival. We recommend having a second person assist you to ensure the legs and hutch components are securely attached.
The primary working surface measures 39.5 inches wide by 15 inches deep, providing a compact yet functional area for writing or laptop use.
The blue spruce finish is designed to highlight the natural character of the wood. Because it features a white-streaked veneer tabletop, you can expect some variation in the grain and finish, which adds to the piece's unique French Provincial aesthetic.
The desk features a leg height of 26 inches. Please measure your chair's armrests to ensure they will clear the underside of the desk frame comfortably.
