Mission Style Arched Rail Desk with Two Drawers
This mission style writing desk is designed to provide a convenient, comfortable desk for writing or working on the
computer. The desk features an arched front apron and a beaded detail on the bottom edges of the aprons. The
desk height can be modified to accommodate different intended uses (28" is preferable for typing or laptop use,
while 29-30" is more comfortable for writing.) The top and base are constructed from solid cherry, while the
drawer fronts are tiger maple and the knobs are turned from walnut.
The size and wood selection can be customized to suit your requirements.
