Maple Desks

Sturdy doesn’t mean sterile or simple. Rather, we associate this word with reliable — how we would describe a solid maple desk. Vintage or modern, secretary or executive, its natural construction forms a backbone delivering years of use and a consistent light-to-cream appearance.

Why a Maple Wood Desk?

You have a computer room or study, or find yourself reconsidering how you style your at-home office. The desk is the centerpiece. You can’t rely on something flimsy or delicate, but style and taste play a significant factor. You envision warmth and versatility, and that’s exactly where a solid maple wood desk succeeds.

As a hardwood, maple has strength on its side. At the same time, the grains stain well. Traditionally, the sapwood is used to make maple furniture, desks included. The result leans more toward a white or cream color with accents of reddish-brown — a characteristic of the heartwood — mixed in. As with other hardwoods, maple’s appearance deepens with time, and our vintage pieces particularly reflect this progress.
