Whitman Writer’s Desk

P1711A-WVW-30454

The early-American style of the Whitman Writer’s Desk matches the period in which the famous American poet lived. And this desk is so elegant, yet simple, plus classic, yet timeless, that you’re sure to draw inspiration from its beautiful profile. Imagine the desk in your home office or writing/shopping/social media corner!

Our Amish designers and builders pack a lot of user-friendly features into each Whitman Writer’s Desk. For example, the desktop is one-inch-thick solid hardwood. And we gave the unit shown a Walnut inlay. Other inlay preferences include Meganite, Leather, and Tiger Maple. Or, you may opt for a butcher block or standard hardwood top.

The pencil drawer opens full extension. This gives you easy access to every corner of the drawer. Also, our cabinetmakers build dovetail joints into each drawer for added strength and durability.

From the intricately-carved turned legs to the beveled-edge top, the Whitman Writer’s Desk showcases superior construction. That’s not surprising. Because the desk’s Amish builders are the best cabinetmakers in the Midwest. Also, these craftsmen draw upon woodworking skills handed down from their ancestors.

What’s more, our builders use quality regional hardwoods. Like oak, maple, walnut, cherry, and hickory. So the desk you order will be incredibly sturdy and durable. In fact, with proper care, it easily becomes a family heirloom.

You can order Whitman’s Writer’s Desk as shown or unfinished. Or, we can customize it to fulfill your desires. For example, you can choose the wood specie and finish. Plus the hardware and style of the top.
