Desks

Find your desk size

Both 120 × 60cm and 150 × 75cm give you ample room for everyday work, with space for a laptop and books. Choose 120 × 60cm when you want to keep more of the room free. The 150 × 75cm top suits a busier desk, with extra width for multiple monitors and more depth between a large screen and your keyboard.

Laptops can sit closer. Larger screens often feel more comfortable further back, while your keyboard and mouse stay within easy reach. Most designs come in both sizes; check the individual desk for its options.

Choose a desk with or without a riser

A standard desk keeps the full surface open. Choose a design with a fixed riser if you want to raise your screen and keep useful space underneath. Check each desk for the available size and riser options.

Choose the surface you want to work on

European oak plywood and American black walnut plywood bring continuous wood grain to your desk. AA-grade Baltic birch plywood has a pale Scandi feel, with grain running from edge to edge. White and grey Formica give you a smooth, wipe-clean surface with an even colour.

Choose the surface you want to see every day, then compare how the leg pairings change the finished desk.

Choose your leg style

Hairpin legs keep the space under your desk visually open. Tapered wooden legs bring wood into the base, while steel end frames give it a bolder shape. Compare the leg shape and finish alongside your chosen surface to find the look you want.

Strength and stiffness for heavier setups

These desks are strong for everyday work, including heavier monitors. What matters at the keyboard is stiffness: the top should feel rock solid under your fingers. For a heavy monitor setup, an optional L-Channel Stiffening Bar reduces flex in the top.

Your own top and leg pairing

Have a different combination in mind? Choosing separate tops and legs gives you more creative control over the finished design. Start with Build with a Desk Top or Build with Desk Legs, and choose the material, shape and finish you love.
