The Wood Writing Desk

Distinctive personality

Without a wood writing desk, an office lacks both elegance and a sense of direction. Throughout history, wood and the introspection of writing have gone hand in hand.

Regardless of wood type, the wood writing desk always evokes dependability, honor, endurance and dedication.

Choosing a wood writing desk

Each wood type brings a unique personality to your writing desk. Do you prefer dark or light finish for your writing desk? Do you want a playful, carefree design or one that radiates ambition and professionalism?

Different wood types suggest different attitudes. Here's a quick look at some popular wood types for a writing desk.

Oak

One of the most durable woods, oak's light color and uniform grain will bring both simplicity and elegance to your wood writing desk.

Birch

Another tough, strong wood, birch features wavier grains than oak.  A birch writing desk can also be stained different shades to match unique decors.

Mahogany

A lush red-brown wood often used in the writing desk, mahogany brings unprecedented elegance to any home or office.

Walnut

A prevalent furniture wood during the Renaissance, walnut's soft, distinguishing grain still serves as an ideal wood type for your writing desk.
