Wooden Desks

Wooden desks on Flitch

Most desks on Flitch are wooden, more than any other material. You’ll find the widest choice at The Range, La Redoute and Dunelm. The most common colours for wooden desks are brown and white. Beyond modern and contemporary designs, the most common style is industrial. Solid wood generally lasts longer than veneer or MDF, and the product details will usually tell you which you're getting. It’s a good idea to measure your space before you choose: of the wooden desks with measurements listed, most are between 100 and 130cm wide.

How much do wooden desks cost?

Half of all wooden desks on Flitch cost less than £160. That’s about the same as desks in general. The biggest difference in price comes down to style: contemporary designs typically cost £260, about twice the price of industrial designs at £110. Type matters too, with non-adjustable ones at around £180 against £100 for standing ones. Wider ones cost more: those over 130cm wide come in at around £260, about 75% more than narrower ones at £150. It also pays to shop around: of the retailers with plenty to choose from, The Range is usually the cheapest, at around £90, and Soho Home the most expensive, at around £5,000.

What other shoppers are choosing

Metal desks are also popular with shoppers, if you’re not set on wood. White desks are catching on: shoppers have looked at them more over the last three months than at this time last year. Retailers have also been stocking more vintage desks this year, so there’s a wider choice available.
