Slant Lid Stand Up Desk with Drawers
This desk is a stand up desk for writing or reading in a standing position - it can provide significant back relief and provides a welcome change from sitting at a desk all day. The desk shown was constructed from solid black walnut with highly figured wood selected for the desk lid and drawer fronts. The desk features traditional mortise and tenon and handcut exposed dovetail joinery. The height of the center of the slanted writing surface is 50" from the floor and the writing surface has a cleat at the bottom to support a large book (approximately 1" high x 20" long). This height can be adjusted to suit the individual customer's height and preferences. The desk features tapered legs and 3 main drawers on the top with a smaller map drawer below. There is a book shelf across the front of the desk with a cut-out area for knee clearance and a lip along the back edge. The legs are connected with a "H-stretcher" / footrest at the bottom. The interior of the desk is divided into a series of drawers and pigeon holes. The lid is provided with a support to hold it in an open position for access to the interior. The three exterior drawers and one of the interior drawers feature reproduction locks with inlayed brass keyholes. The interior also features a secret compartment. The size, style, wood selection, and coloring can be customized to suit the customer's requirements. This bookcase could easily be built from Maple, Walnut, Mahogany or Cherry.
