Stay on Task With a Writing Desk

Make your home workspace more functional and stylish with a new writing desk from Pottery Barn. No matter your preferred style or how much space you're working with, you can find a desk to suit your needs at Pottery Barn.

What is a Writing Desk?

Writing desks as the name suggests are usually used for writing. They are more focused on providing surface area for you to work on, whereas computer desks have more shelves and drawers to meet your storage needs. Read on to learn more about the traditional features of these desks:

• Writing desks usually have a simple design made from wood for a warm, classic look. They offer plenty of surface space for comfortable writing and are big enough to hold a desk lamp as well as your notepad or laptop.
• Modern desks with sleek, marble surfaces and clean lines are also available.
• Some writing desks have drawers for holding pens, pencils and stationery.
• Not all writing desks are small; these desks can range from compact to oversized.
• A project table gives you the ultimate flexibility in creating a workspace. It boasts a wide flat surface and storage cubbies on each side to store documents, craft projects and more.
• Use modular pieces to create the perfect office setup.

Shop Other Office Furniture

Set your workspace up for success with functional desk accessories like paper organizers, pencil cups and desk blotters. Don't forget to also pick up a new office chair.

Finish the look with beautiful decorative office items like wall clocks and bookends to personalize the space.
