The writing desk from the collection combines the best of both worlds, featuring elements from traditional and contemporary styles alike. A wood and metal desk with a transitional design, featuring a hidden flip-down panel for keyboard and mouse access, is a unique and versatile piece of furniture. This modern writing desk is a popular choice for those who also want to incorporate traditional materials, like the natural warmth of the blade walnut finish with sleek and contemporary gold metal accents. This desk with a keyboard tray is perfect for those who prefer a more traditional desktop computer setup, but it will work perfectly as a desk for a laptop as well, with a compact workspace that can fit in even the smallest office space. It's finished on all sides for versatile placement anywhere. Whether you're writing or working on a computer, a transitional writing desk offers a timeless style that will complement any décor, while providing a functional workspace that meets your home office needs.
The desk is very attractive and offers a lot of space. It is the same height as the matching cabinets, so I was able to get a lot of surface area with a cohesive look.
There are only two drawbacks for me -- first, that what I thought was a drawer is a keyboard platform. There is no back wall as it is designed to allow wires to pass through. However, it's positioned too low to use as a keyboard platform, and is more useful as a drawer. I've put a nice looking document tray to help keep things like pens and what not from rolling off the back.
Secondly, the front of the drawer/keyboard tray came scratched. This piece was attached towards the end of the assembly process, so by the time we realized it we didn't want to disassemble the whole thing. I'll cover it up with some furniture repair markers.. Dawn. Arlington, VA. Tue Sep 02 2025
