Desks

The line between a desk and a console table is mostly about intent. A dark live-edge slab on a simple base is a dining table in one room and a writing desk in another. The pieces here are designed — or selected — for desk use.

You’ll find live-edge slabs in dark wood that work as standing-height desks or seated writing surfaces depending on the base height. Metal console pieces with drawer storage. Game table designs that function as desks for two. Industrial-base pieces with reclaimed wood tops.

Most of the wood desk surfaces come from slabs Tony sourced in Thailand and Vietnam, where the supply of thick, old-growth hardwood is more accessible than in markets closer to home. The metal bases are typically welded steel from workshops in India or Eastern Europe.

Home office use requires thinking about monitor height, cable management, and knee clearance — three things you can’t assess from a photo. Come in to sit at the pieces you’re considering and check the fit before committing.
