Solid Wood Writing Desks

Sizes run from a 60 cm wide mini desk for a bedroom alcove to 136 cm for a full home-office desk, with most tops 80 to 90 cm wide and 35 to 45 cm deep: enough for a laptop, a notebook and a lamp rather than two monitors. Desk height is a standard 77 to 80 cm. Turned-leg and spindle designs keep the underside open for a chair; one- and two-drawer desks add storage, and gallery-back and shelf designs give a raised edge for books.

Each desk is made in India from mango wood, most listed by the maker as solid mango wood, and hand finished in oak-ish, chestnut or walnut tones, with a hand-painted option. Natural grain and colour vary between pieces. Check the product page for the exact width, drawer sizes and delivery estimate.
