Description

_Move over, Hemmingway!_Whether you consider yourself the next great American novelist or a sometimes-Instagram poet, a vintage writing desk always makes a worthy companion. An efficient, table-like silhouette lends a used writing desk a superior versatility—use a writing desk in a bedroom, living room, or even an entry. Vintage writing desks also transition seamlessly from work to play, making it easy to refashion one as a vanity, buffet, or bar.
