A live edge desk will help you enjoy the charm of the out of doors in your office. You might be trapped inside by the mundane activities of writing or tallying numbers, but that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy the beauty of natural wood. A wide slab of cut wood, sanded and finished with the bark edge left intact, makes a beautiful desktop. Match it with natural wood filing cabinets or storage cubbies underneath.

Every desk worker deserves something beautiful to make their day go better. A polished expanse of real wood, sanded, finished, and polished to a high gloss creates a lovely place to work. It can be added to a worn, vintage desk, teamed with a keyboard tray for use as a computer desk, set on additional slabs of wood as legs, and many other treatments. Really, when it comes to live edge wood, the only limit is your imagination and the shape of the wood itself. No two pieces will ever be the same because no two trees grow in quite the same way. Live edge wood also makes a great conversation starter with clients or co-workers. As icebreakers go, there could not be a more attractive beginning to a conversation.

Streamlined yet packed with features, this live edge desk is the perfect combination of style and function.

One pull out drawer in the middle and two cubbies on either side help this charming desk hold a variety of office supplies and equipment. Heavy-gauge rebar hairpin legs offer exceptional stability.
