Solid Wood Desks

A solid wood desk is built from wood all the way through rather than a printed surface over board, so an edge that gets knocked can be sanded back. Ours run 31.9 to 63 inches wide in walnut, natural and oak.

Solid wood desks and how they wear

Solid wood is the difference between a desk that ages and one that wears out. A dent can be sanded and re-oiled, a scratch fades into the grain, and the surface can be refinished years later. A printed board surface cannot be repaired once it is through, only hidden.

It is also stiffer along its length, which shows on a wide unsupported top: a solid desk holds a straight line under a monitor and a stack of paper where a thinner board panel will bow over time.

Solid wood desk sizes

Widths run 31.9 to 63 inches and depths 16.3 to 28. Under 44 inches suits a bedroom corner or a hallway; over 55 gives you room for two screens and paperwork at once. Under 20 inches deep a monitor sits too close for a full day, so take the deeper option if the desk is for real work.

Heights run 29.5 to 31.5, which is standard desk height and what office chairs are built to meet.

Caring for a solid wood desk

Walnut, natural and oak are the finishes here. Walnut is a deep even brown that suits a settled room; oak is lighter with an open grain that keeps a small space feeling open; natural sits between them.

Wipe along the grain with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away. Skip all-purpose sprays containing ammonia or silicone, which strip an oiled finish and haze a lacquered one. Blot spills as they happen, and keep the desk out of the direct path of a radiator or a sunny window, since wood moves with humidity and a steady spot keeps a top flat. A mark that will not lift usually comes out with a little soap flake solution on a cloth rather than anything stronger.

Frequently asked questions

How to clean a wood desk
Wipe a solid wood desk with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away, working with the grain. Skip all-purpose sprays and anything with ammonia or silicone: they strip an oiled finish and leave a haze on a lacquered one. For a mark that will not lift, a little soap flake solution on a cloth is usually enough. Blot spills as they happen, because an oiled top will take a ring within minutes.
Is walnut a good wood for a desk?
Walnut is one of the better desk woods. It is a hardwood, so it resists the dents a keyboard tray or monitor foot puts into a softwood, and its grain is straight and even, which keeps a wide top looking calm. The colour is a deep chocolate brown that lightens with age. The trade-off is cost, and much of what is sold as walnut is a walnut-coloured finish over board. Everything here is solid timber.
What color goes with a walnut desk?
Walnut sits well against off-white, warm grey, sage and deep green, all of which let the brown read as warm rather than muddy. Black hardware and black metal legs sharpen it; brass warms it. Avoid putting walnut directly beside a cooler wood such as ash or a grey-toned oak, because the two undertones fight. With a strong wood floor, a clearly different tone reads better than a near match.
What is standard desk height?
Standard desk height is 29 to 30 inches from the floor to the top of the work surface, and that is the range office chairs are built to pair with. The test is whether your forearms sit level with the surface when your feet are flat on the floor. Fixed-height desks in this collection state their measured height; height-adjustable models state a range instead of a single figure.
