Reveal Desk

Our hardworking solid walnut desk is a natural showoff, with a thick glass top revealing handsome latticework. Handcrafted using traditional Chinese joinery rather than nails or screws, the desk has a full-width dovetail drawer that slides open on ball bearing glides, revealing workspace for a laptop or keyboard, two cubbies for storing papers and organizing small items. Coordinating file and bookcase available. Each piece is stained a warm honey brown, with simple forged iron pulls. -Created in collaboration with designer Maria Yee -Solid walnut -Bamboo bottom drawer panel -Traditional wood-on-wood joinery -⅜" tempered glass top -Hand-rubbed honey brown stain -Black steel hardware -See dimensions below

Gorgeous desk
Date: February 8, 2010
"This is definitely one of my favorite pieces of furniture. When my daughter moved into her own home, I decided to turn her room into a home office. After seeing the Reveal collection at our local C&B, I knew this was the look I wanted. I purchased the desk and a small file cabinet from the same collection. They sit next to each other, lengthening my work surface. Both pieces are beautiful as well as functional. The glass top is easy to clean and the sections in the drawer keep my office supplies organized. The rich, dark grain of the wood gives the room a feel of class and sophistication. The furniture was delivered quickly and great care was given to protecting the corners and edges of the pieces. I couldn't be more pleased."

Impractical Beauty
Date: November 29, 2009
"There's no denying that this is a gorgeous desk. However, it isn't very functional- in some ways. The striking part of the piece is it's top surface, but when you start to try to USE it, that beauty is no longer visible. Similarly, if you try to fill the compartments below the glass, the look of the desk is ruined."

beautiful & versatile
Date: June 19, 2009
"i cant say enough good things about this desk. the size is perfect...not to big, but large enough to feel substantial. the glass top and latticework is a unique combination that makes it feel like a unique piece and let's you see what's in the large drawer, which by the way, glides in and out without a problem. but what i love most about this piece is the versatility of the design. the finish on the wood would go with both darker and lighter wood pieces in the same room; it would fit in both modern/contemporary rooms as well as those with traditional/classic design. also, while i'm sure it looks great with the coordinating pieces, it's a wonderful item that mixes and matches well with pieces from C&B or elsewhere if you are like me and dont like that "matchy-matchy" thing!"

High Delivery and Product Quality
Date: June 17, 2009
"This desk was delivered a week ago and I found myself enjoying its beauty, almost afraid to use it. The quality of construction is excellent and the wood has a deep shine to it. The drawer glides are smooth and stable, moving in and out quietly.
I like being able to see what is inside the drawer without distracting from the lattice work.
Finally, the delivery people were excellent. They were very careful moving this large desk to the second floor of my home."

Sleek and Classic Design
Date: June 11, 2009
"I fell in love with the Reveal collection when I first saw it in C&B's show room. The top is covered with good quality glass (I have not had any scratches or nicks so far) and "reveals" a sliding drawer where you can organize and stash your supplies. The drawer makes the desk seat a little bit low, so make sure you have an adjustable desk chair. Not only is it functional and helps you stay tidy, this is also a beautiful piece with classic design."

Great Desk
Date: May 27, 2009
"We've had this desk for about a year. It has held up well, looks great, and cleans easily. I was concerned about the drawer becoming dusty, and the keyboard area does need to be wiped down periodically, but overall has been easy to care for. The contents of the drawer are less noticeable than you might initially think, and being able to see through the top doesn't detract from the look of the piece. The glass top gets smudged easily but is easy to clean. Overall build quality seems very good."
