First, the captains of industry in your household will fully endorse the European Renaissance desk from Hooker Furniture. It’s a formidable and classic kneehole desk with chamfered corners, beveled panels, and a hand-tooled leather top. The burnished cognac finish glows.
Practically speaking, the European Renaissance desk is a workhorse. Storage space abounds with a plethora of drawers, and kneehole storage shelf. And at the end of the day, securely tuck your trade secrets away in the lockable left pedestal drawers.

Next, for the more fashion-minded commander in chic, Robb & Stucky recommends the Xavier writing table. With a beveled glass top, it’s fully transparent (important these days), and set on a polished brass sawhorse base.

Indeed, X marks the spot. Practically speaking, the Xavier desk gets strong performance reviews. A dedicated home office is not a job requirement for this stylish little number. Xavier knows how to work a room – any room. Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams planned it that way!
The Xavier desk can understudy as an extra dining table when company’s coming. The desk is lovely in the bedroom, a smart nightstand beside the bed or as a dressing table, decked out with with your favorite fragrances, cosmetics and jewelry boxes. In the living room, Xavier glows as a sofa table.
Some desks are all business. Others seem ready for monkey business. There is a middle way, beautifully exemplified by the Kinsey desk from Hooker Furniture.
Kinsey is a stylish writing table set on a fashion-forward trestle base, but – pencils down – it’s also ready to work. The center drawer drops down to accommodate your keyboard. It’s flanked by two utility drawers with dividers. A spacious work surface lets you spread out. When you power off in the evening, Kinsey signs off too – your office becomes part of your living area.
