Description
These custom desks often have angled racks in the desktop, or house specific sized items such as mixing consoles etc. As with all our desks these desks are built to order.
To order a bespoke desk, contact me with your requirements – if necessary I can build a scale 3d model in Sketchup to ensure you are happy with the design and functionality of the desk prior to work starting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
All our custom desks are shipped unassembled for transportation and easy installation. Typically all you will need to re-assemble is an adjustable spanner and sometimes a screwdriver.
Get in touch via the contact form, or give me a call on 07789 381989 to discuss. As these handmade desks are built to order I would typically draw something up in Sketchup before starting work to make sure we are both happy with the design.
Assuming the keyboard shelf is spanning between legs on the desk, the minimum height is around 95mm. This can be increased to anything you like as we make the keyboard shelves specifically for your keyboard. Bear in mind that this may impact on your leg space under the keyboard shelf, or the overall height of the desk (see next question)
There is always a bit of a tradeoff between leg height under the keyboard shelf and ergonomic desktop height. If your keyboard is very tall then making the overall desk taller may be the best solution. Get in touch to discuss
Generally a man with a van. There are a couple of different companies that I use, when ordering send me your postcode and I can get some quotes. Alternatively you are welcome to collect or send someone, I’m based just south of Bristol.
Generally no, I use Danish oil to finish the desks which is hard wearing, safe and can cope with coffee cups etc. If you knocked or dented your desk you could give the affected area a rub down with some sand paper and touch it up with Danish oil. Given the fact that these desks are made from reclaimed wood you might decide that any extra dents are just adding to the character!
