There are many desk styles available, and we have already looked at a few. These range from antique styles that are becoming popular again, to modern computer desks. Take a look at the next set on the list of the many desks available, to learn what appeals to you.
Trestle Desk - this is a simple style that has a flat writing surface with a couple of small drawers underneath. It has only two legs, one on each side, which are quite wide, with two feet at each base (looking from the side, it resembles the letter "I"). There is also a cross bar in the middle attaching the two legs together, offering greater support. This style is often seen today as a larger trestle dining table.
Bureau a gradin - another simple, antique desk with a flat writing surface with a couple of drawers like the trestle, but it has four standard legs. Then it has a one or more tiers of small drawers and pigeon holes on top along the back for writing supplies.
Rolltop Desk - This style from the 19th century is still popular today. It normally has drawers down both sides, and a series of small drawers and cubbies on top. Then there is the roll down cover made of slats which allows the work area to be closed away. Similar to the rolltop desk is the tambour desk, but instead of rolling down, the tambour doors slide open, with the two doors sliding sideways.
Armoire - this style of desks is contained within a large cabinet that can close up to resemble a large armoire. The two large doors open and usually slide along the sides of the armoire or hinge all the way open. This style has adapted wonderfully to modern use. Inside there is usually a slide out work surface that will fit a computer, also there are upper shelves and cubbies for storing items, and sometimes a lower area for a CPU. I have even seen some styles with a small file drawer. This type of desk is great if you want to be able to close your desk area away to keep a neater appearance in a small room. It also protects your computer and peripherals from dust.
This has been just a quick look at the next five desks on the list, and you can tell that though there are similarities in desk styles, they each have something unique to help them stand apart. Many antique desk styles are becoming popular, so it is nice to know that your option when looking at desks is more than you see in your local business supply store.
