At 72 inches wide by 32 inches deep, the desk provides an expansive work surface while retaining clean, architectural lines. The warm teak casework is framed by slender chrome supports, whose polished surfaces sharply articulate the desk’s rectilinear form and provide a crisp contrast to the richly figured wood.

Two banks of locking white oak drawers extend nearly the full depth of the desk, offering substantial storage for both file folders and daily use items. Between them, a generous 32.5-inch-wide kneehole and 27.75 inches of clearance accommodate virtually any size desk chair.

The fully-finished back panel makes it suitable for placement in the center of a room. Equal parts beautiful and functional, the desk works well in both mid century and contemporary environments.

The teak has been professionally refinished and the chrome newly polished. The desk shows beautifully, with only traces of prior use visible on close inspection. See less
