Industrial Desk

An industrial desk pairs a dark metal frame with a wood or wood-look top, which is a look that hides wear rather than showing it. Ours run 47 to 66 inches wide, mostly black framed, some on casters.

The frame is the style

What makes a desk industrial is an exposed metal frame doing visible structural work, usually in black. The top sits on it rather than hiding it. That honesty about construction is the point, and it is why the look sits comfortably in a room with brick, concrete or older wood.

Wear is part of it

A weathered or distressed top is doing something practical as well as decorative. Marks that would stand out on a gloss finish disappear into a grain that already reads used, which suits a desk that gets worked at rather than looked at.

Metal frames and floors

A steel frame concentrates weight on four small feet. On a hard floor use the levelling feet or pads supplied, and check them again after the desk has been loaded, because a frame that racks slightly will show as a wobble.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

What makes a desk industrial rather than modern?
An exposed metal frame that is visibly structural, usually black, with a wood or wood-look top sitting on it. Modern desks tend to hide the structure; industrial ones show it.
Are industrial desks heavy?
They are heavier than an all-board desk of the same size, because the frame is steel. That weight is what makes them stable, but it is worth planning the route into the room before assembly.
Will a metal frame scratch my floor?
Not if the supplied feet or pads are fitted. A steel frame puts the whole load on four small points, so the pads matter more here than on a desk with wide panel legs.
Do these come with cable management?
Some do, with a grommet or a tray. Where it is present it is stated on the product page. An open frame desk also makes it easy to add your own, since there is nothing enclosed to work around.
