What kind of wood are the desks built with?
Solid wood through the full thickness of the top — no veneer to sand through, no particleboard core, no formaldehyde-based glue anywhere in the piece. That is why a worn desktop can be refinished at home for decades instead of replaced, and why the desk reads heavy on arrival.
Can I customize dimensions or add cable management?
Each desk is built after you order, so width, depth, and height adjust to your room and chair. Standing-height builds and cable grommets can be added when you order — measure your monitor arm and your chair's armrests first, and we build to those numbers.
How hard is assembly?
The desk ships separated into top, curved base, and drawer unit so nothing arrives cracked, and bolts together with the included hardware and key in about twenty minutes for one person. The joinery was cut and fitted at the workshop — you are reuniting it, not building it. No wordless diagrams, no leftover screw.
How should I treat the worksurface?
Wipe with a damp cloth and re-oil once or twice a year, when the surface looks thirsty — about twenty minutes. A scratch from a stapler spot-sands and re-oils in ten; an oil finish fails gracefully where a film finish fails in sheets.
How does a desk arrive?
Made to order, with the top and base packed in separate padded cartons, corners blocked, hardware bagged to the frame. Photograph the boxes before the driver leaves and note anything on the receipt — if damage got through, we make it right.
