Find a Stylish Writing Desk for you home.

Writing Desks for All

Despite the rising popularity of the computer desk, the writing desk will always have a place in the home. They have an intrinsically sophisticated design that is reminiscent of times gone by. Because they more closely resemble a table than a pedestal desk, they are more likely to be used in more formal spaces. Because many people are forgoing a desktop computer in favour of a laptop, a small desk is often all that is required to create a workspace in your home office. Cymax has an excellent selection so whether you are looking for an inexpensive student desk or a luxury executive desk, we've got you covered.

Office Furniture Styles & Finishes

No matter what your personal style is, there is bound to be a desk for you in our large selection. If your taste runs to the casual country style, try a simple wood desk in a honey pine or oak finish. Or go for one with ornate details in a distressed white finish for the look of a French or English antique. Try out the ultra modern look with a desk in silver metal and frosted glass.

If you want a more formal look, consider an antique-inspired white writing desk with handsome turned legs and a distressed finish. Or go for something contemporary like a black or espresso desk with a small storage hutch and handsome legs with interior tapering. A substantial desk in a rich wood finish like cherry or mahogany is a masculine look that suits traditional spaces like a library or den.

Writing Desk Features

A writing desk generally includes one or two shallow drawers, which are useful for storing your pens and paper clips. For the most part they do not include large drawer or filing cabinet style storage. But even though they might lack built in storage but they are lighter and more graceful in appearance. They are often a popular choice for any room that does double duty (such as a living room or bedroom) because they don't resemble typical office furniture.

If you do require a bit of storage but are still after that classic look, choose a desk with a built-in hutch. Or if you want to hide away your work at the end of the day consider a secretary, roll top or drop front desk. An l-shaped desk is also a great choice for a corner or just for those who require a bit more surface area to work on. Or if you want to outfit your entire office, look for an office suite that has everything you need.

Popular Desk Sizes

Although this type of desk is usually small in size, they can also be quite large. A 36 inch unit would be perfect for a small space while those with room to spread out might prefer something as large as 48, 60 or 72 inches wide. Some writing stations are available in narrow widths which can be great for those smaller spaces. But if you are using a traditional PC you will want to ensure your desk is at least 24" in depth (standard) to comfortably hold your monitor. Cymax also carries a range of desks suitable for kids and teens as well.
