Writing Desks

Writing Desks

A writing desk gives you a clear surface for paperwork, a laptop or daily correspondence, and this page lists more than 25 options in wood and metal, from executive designs to compact styles.

Styles and finishes

• Wood is the main material, with metal frames or accents on many pieces and a few synthetic or leather details.
• Black and oak lead, followed by brown, white, cherry and walnut; platinum, red and chrome also appear.
• Titles include executive desks, models with a hutch and one with a USB port.

Brands we carry in writing desks

ACME has the largest group, including the Versailles and Amiel designs, followed by Homelegance and Coaster.

Choosing the right size

Standard desk height is about 29 to 30 inches. Leave roughly 36 inches behind the chair so you can push back and stand up, and measure the doorway before ordering a larger executive model.
