Tips on Buying a Roll Top Desk

A roll top desk is a breath taking piece of furniture. It can hold everything you need with drawers on both sides, and usually a drawer in the inside. It gives you enough room to lay your work in front of yourself without getting cramped and losing things. This desk was introduced in the early nineteenth century and they still are quite popular to this day. It is quite a large piece of furniture with drawers on both sides of where you would sit. The front of the desk rolls up to reveal a flat surface or the desk portion. Above the work area are some shelves to store supplies. This can be a very heavy desk if made with solid materials such as oak, but using these materials also contributes to the beauty of the design. Here are some tips on buying a roll top desk:

Solid Oak Shelf

1) A common mistake people make is not realizing how big a roll top desk really is. They will buy it, bring it home, and then realize they don't have enough space to place it properly. Do yourself a favor and get the proper dimensions of the desk so that you are able to make the proper measurements in the room you wish to keep it in. The desk is too heavy to bring home only to realize you have to take it back.

Solid Oak Shelf

2) There are many different styles of roll top desks. Explore all of the different makes and looks before settling on one. Also try to make sure that the style of desk fits the style of the room.

3) Along with different styles of such a desk, there are also different materials used in building it. Try to find the right wood that matches the style of desk that you want to own. Keep in mind these desks are built quite solidly so this is something that you will own for a long time so maybe you should pay a little more for oak. An oak roll top desk really looks great.

Whatever style you choose a roll top desk is a great choice. It will give any room a touch of class. Before you decide on what desk to buy make sure you do some comparison shopping first, since prices vary from store to store.
