Know before you buy
The desk is handcrafted from a combination of solid ash wood and ash veneers. It is finished with a protective clear lacquer to enhance durability and provide a subtle sheen.
To maintain the leather, wipe it down periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or polishes, as these can damage the natural texture and finish of the material.
No, the Brock Writing Desk does not feature integrated cord management. You may want to consider using adhesive cable clips or a desk tray to keep your workspace organized.
Yes, the three drawers are designed for standard office essentials like pens, notebooks, and stationery. They provide convenient, concealed storage to help keep your desktop clutter-free.
The burnished brass hardware is designed with a deliberate, aged aesthetic. While it is durable, it may develop a slight patina over time, which is a natural characteristic of the metal.
With a width of 56 inches and a depth of 26 inches, the desk offers a generous workspace. It can comfortably fit a laptop and a single monitor, though a dual-monitor setup may feel tight depending on the size of your screens.
