Computer Desk 

The customer requested a computer desk where he could work standing up, and which could be closed to hide all traces of modernity, like his computer. This would, he felt, maintain a consistent Arts & Crafts appearance in his Craftsman-style bungalow. Our computer desk solution is a cross between a Clerk's desk, a Secretary, and a small wardrobe. This computer desk is 64" tall, 36" wide, 22" deep. Yes, it's an anachronism, not really of the American Arts & Crafts era. But then so is the coffee table, which came into common usage in the 1920's. Made of quarter sawn white oak except of the interior shelves, which are made of plain white oak. Finished to standard. The leather work surface, 32" by 20", is supported by brass plated steel chains. The work surface and cabinet doors fasten magnetically. No other metal is used in the construction. The shelves are secured by tenon and tusk joints. Seven drawers and a note sheet pigeonhole are recessed in the console.
