Description
Our Estate range of furniture is characterised by its warm wood finish and parquet patterns. Functional pieces that suit country-inspired interiors, the look is calm and considered, with a lacquered coating that highlights the natural pattern and grain of the oak wood. This versatile piece can be used as a desk or a side table and has a drawer and cubby space to help keep the surface neat and tidy. The wooden top is supported by a clean-lined metal frame in an antique brass finish. Thanks to the minimalist, open frame, this desk will ensure your room still feels spacious and uncluttered. 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 this oak desk for its slim metal frame and neat storage - it feels modern without looking cold. The single drawer and open shelf keep small home offices clutter-free, and the natural grain works well in Scandi, industrial or mid-century schemes. To style it, start with a mid-sized table lamp on one side and a slim laptop or notebook on the other. Use a woven tray or a simple pen pot in the drawer recess, then tuck a low plant or flat magazine stack on the shelf below. Finish with a framed print propped behind the lamp for a personal touch.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
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.
Adapting to Changing Times
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.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
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.
