Roll Top Desks

1. Roll-top desks have been popular since the 19th century, though their design and aesthetic hasn't changed all that much. While the desks' unique rolling, slatted tops are as easy to create and maintain as they used to be, today they add a quaint, vintage touch to any room.

2. Many of our roll-top desks are pedestal desks, meaning their spacious, rectangular tops rest firmly on two small units of stacked drawers or cabinets - or meaning you can find a place for every paper and paperclip.

3. A lot of our cherry and oak roll-top desks look like their 19th century counterparts, but don't worry - they can handle all your computer equipment and other technology, thanks to specially designed compartments and wiring access systems.

4. Inside every white, black, espresso, or other colored roll-top desk, from antiquity to the present day, a system of slots and cubbies makes organizing office supplies, mail, and documents a snap.

5. Whether you're decorating a modern-vintage or totally traditional office space, our roll-top desks come in a variety of materials designed to fit right in. Choose a clean, super-durable oak roll-top desk for contemporary settings or a warm, lustrous cherry roll-top desk for statelier rooms.

6. Our color selection makes mixing and matching styles easy, too. Choose a quaint white roll-top desk for a teen's room and a rich black roll-top desk for a modern home office.

7. The convenience of the roll-top desk is hard to deny - it has plenty of room for everything, and when you're smack in the middle of a messy project, you can slip the top down and keep it out of guests' (or bosses') sightline.

8. Roll-top desks don't have to be relegated to the office. Try using an espresso roll-top desk as an accent in your entryway or living room, where its storage slots can double as holders for keys, mail, CDs, and magazines.

9. Decorative white, espresso, and cherry roll-top desks can serve as great alternatives to small dressers and vanities in the bedroom, too. Choose a small, low roll-top and pair it with a frilly stool and mirror.

10. Bring an antique-inspired roll-top desk into the 21st century by pairing it with contemporary accessories: chrome desk storage pieces, a small lamp with a bright shade, and a clean-lined or geometrically shaped chair in a bold color.
