Every home office needs a reliable desk. Desks offer space for a computer and important papers as well as providing a place to work on homework or work that’s been brought home from the office. The continuing trend of perpetual connectivity is leading towards more and more work being done outside a traditional office setting. In light of this, desk space has become an essential part of every home.
Using a hickory writing desk instead of a more contemporary option brings rustic décor to the home office. Though the idea of a writing desk may seem archaic in the context of modern office work, the Writing Desk with 2 Drawers from the Cottage Hickory line is a piece of log furniture that can be used in any home office. It offers a good amount of desktop space perfect for laptops or working on paperwork. The two drawers allow for storage of small office necessities so supplies like pens and paper clips are always close at hand.
Kiln-dried hickory logs make up the lower part of the writing desk. The bark is left on during the kiln-drying process, giving the legs and sides a different look from the top, which is lighter and shows off the natural variations in the wood’s color. A clear finish preserves the appearance, but there is also the option of Rustic Maple or Rustic Alder, both of which impart a richer color. A liquid glass application may be chosen for the desktop, adding a high-gloss finish and ensuring durability.

Customer Feedback
Home is all about dependable comfort, a kind of welcome you don't find anywhere else. If there is one thing you can count on to last, its solid wood furniture. The most comfortable furniture in every room was made to be lived on, rather than looked at. I've found the best investment and timeless charm comes from log furniture. The living on it just adds to its character, and it works in just about every decorating style. For me, rustic decor makes perfect sense and log furniture is part of that look, no matter where you live or play.
