Stand-up Desk

This stand-up desk is based on my standard Shaker writing desk but was custom designed for a customer. For added rigidity I opted to keep the legs straight rather than have them taper and also added the lower stretchers. The cross stretcher is near the front of the desk to provide a foot rest. The drawers are 6″ deep and the outside corner of each leg is beaded. The desk shown is 45″w x 23″d x 42″h but these dimension can be customized to whatever you need. When purchasing a stand-up desk it’s particular important to make sure you get the height correct. Most stand up desks I’ve seen have slanted tops which looks cool but I think a flat top is more practical. I suppose the slanted top design comes from the days when people wrote with pen and paper. Of course now it seems almost everyone uses laptops.
