Solid Wood Office Desks

Buying Guide

Desks for the home help you accomplish many tasks: work on craft projects, use your computer or laptop, sort and arrange papers and objects and more. Though styles vary, solid wood home office desks are durable, and they add beauty because of the quality craftsmanship with which they are made and their visible wood grain.

Some of the best material choices for solid wood home office desks include:

  • Beech
  • Walnut
  • Ash
  • Mahogany

The new kid on the block is mango wood. The popularity of this wood has grown not only because it costs less than traditional hardwoods but also because it’s promoted by furniture manufacturers as being sustainable. When mango fruit trees grow too tall for fruit to be harvested, their timber is manufactured into wood. Thus, this tree is a food source and a source of construction materials.

The stains/colors of solid wood home office desks range from light to dark. Some are available in white. Pieces made of this traditional material will last for many years.

Computer and Laptop Desks

Since a desk for a laptop does not have to be large, a writing desk, which has a surface for writing and compartments for storing writing instruments, can be sufficient. The ideal desk for a desktop computer desk saves space and makes your desk look less cluttered by having it a slide-out tray for your keyboard. It also has storage space.

Executive Desks

If you want one of the solid wood home office desks that adds elegance and an aura of success to a room, get an executive desk. They are large with a hefty geometric profile and plenty of surface for work and storage area. Some are even outfitted with holes for cables of your electronic equipment. They look great in rooms that are dedicated to work and that, perhaps, also includes a library.

Secretary Desks

Secretary desks combine several useful features. Their surface for work is hinged and pulls down. Below it is a storage area, most often in the form of drawers. Above the flat surface is a storage area for books and keepsakes. These desks provide a place for work and storage without taking up much space. If you already have a desk, but need a little more area for work and storage, there is always the credenza, which is made to sit right by your desk.

Other Designs

There is a small, free-standing desk that you can fasten to a wall. Pair it with a matching chair to give yourself a surface for writing or checking email. Place it, perhaps, in a cozy area of your bedroom or den. If you are really challenged for space, get a desk that fits in a corner. And probably the ultimate space-saver if you a houseful of guests, is a desktop computer desk that folds flat.
