Outfitted with an inkwell holder, this unusual wall-mount desk/organizer would have seen hundreds if not thousands of individuals standing up to it for deposits, withdrawals and check-cashing. Crafted of quarter-sawn oak including areas of lively "tiger" grain, this piece can be mounted at a custom height for an entryway or kitchen organizer, standing desk, home banking center, etc. Writing surface slants down slightly. Cubbyholes are reinforced with metal bars. (Main photo shows desk installed above unrelated wainscoting.) See less
