Secretary furniture is charming and can be added to any room in a house. We’ve seen them in bathrooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, entryways, living rooms, kitchens, and of course, offices. They are exceptionally versatile and can be found as extravagant or as subtle as you’d like. Some are built with many drawers that are stacked on top of each other, while others are simpler and made with only a few drawers that sit side by side.
