Hooker Traditional Writing Desk

These days, letters and postcards have become a novelty. But while e-mail and text messages are faster forms of modern-day communication, they're just not as personal as loose sheets filled with handwritten updates and endearments. Set some time aside for your far-away loved ones at the Hooker Traditional Writing Desk, a beautiful traditional piece sure to put you in the proper epistolary mindset.

The desk is crafted from super-durable hardwood solids and veneers, finished in a warm, familiar medium wood shade. Shapely Queen Anne-style legs and sumptuous carvings add to the desk's vintage vibe, while the spacious rectangular desktop has plenty of room for letter writing or, if you must, e-mailing at a laptop or PC. The wide top drawer boasts dual drawer pulls and a drop-down front for use as a keyboard or laptop tray.

The desk has a smooth finished back that buts up neatly against walls, and built-in levelers keep it steady, so you can feel free to sign every sheet with a flourish.

Dimensions:

• Keyboard area: 21.5W x 16.25D x 2.25H inches
• Knee space: 30W x 20H inches
