Description
A practical and roomy desk designed with a built-in set of drawers to keep your work surface clean and clutter free. It's made from high-quality FSC oak veneered chipboard and you can position the drawers on the left or right hand side of the frame, whatever suits you best. Want to see it first? You may want to see and get a feel for the furniture in one of our shops before ordering. We'll be able to tell you where the range you'd like to view is on display.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a fan of the Abacus desk for its clean lines, durable oak veneer and handy filing drawers - it’s a solid choice if you need organised storage without extra bulk. It sits naturally in Scandi-influenced or modern countryside schemes, but its simplicity also complements pared-back urban flats.
To style it, keep the desktop tidy with a minimal lamp and a lean mirror or wall shelf above for extra storage. Use a neutral-toned desk chair and introduce a single potted plant or a neat pencil pot for a splash of green. A subtle wool rug beneath brings warmth and helps zone the workspace.

About John Lewis
Founded in 1864, John Lewis is a trusted and beloved brand where you can find a diverse range of furniture for every style and budget, alongside finding the perfect item that reflects your personal taste.
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
