Hooker Cherry Writing Desk

Description

The Hooker Cherry Writing Desk is the model of modern-traditional. Its clean, straight lines and simple design are absolutely timeless - and they're uncluttered enough to work in any interior, including minimal contemporary settings.

This classic desk is crafted with durable hardwood solids, ash burl and select walnut veneers over engineered wood, which ensure the piece resists both moisture and expansion. A warm, burnished cherry finish almost glows from within - and gets a little style from deep black rub-through accents. Tuck supplies into the desk's two utility drawers, one situated on each side. An included writing insert can top either drawer, extending the work surface. And a center drop-front drawer can be used as-is or with the front conveniently flipped down to bolster computer keyboards, laptops, or large projects.  All drawers feature strengthening English or French dovetailing, smooth full-extension steel glides, and sturdy plywood bottoms and sides. Built-in levelers keep the unit steady.

• Knee space: 23.5W x 29.68D x 24.93H inches

Construction of Hooker Furniture
Hooker Furniture chooses solid woods and select wood veneers over wood frames to construct their high-quality pieces. By using wood veneer, pieces can be given a decorative look that can't be achieved with the use of solid wood alone. The veneers add beautiful accents of color and design to the pieces, and are placed over engineered wood product for strength. All Hooker wood veneers are made from renewable resources and are located primarily on the flat surfaces of the furniture, such as the case tops and sides.

Each Hooker furniture piece is finished using up to 30 different steps, including 13 steps of hand-sanding and accenting. Physical distressing is done by hand. Pieces receive two to three coats of solid lacquer to create extra depth and add durability to the finish. Each case frame is assembled using strong mortise-and-tenon joints, which are then reinforced by mechanical fasteners and glue. On most designs, end panels extend to the floor to add strength and stability. Panel-style furniture features strong panel and frame construction to help avoid warping.

Your Hooker furniture features finished case interiors to eliminate unsightly "raw wood" and to help protect items you may store inside drawers or cabinets. Drawer parts are given a urethane or lacquer finish to create smooth action and durability. All drawers use dovetails, either English or French, for years of problem-free use. Drawer bottoms are constructed from plywood and attached to the plywood drawer sides via the use of hot glue and/or wood glue blocks. Most drawers are full width, depth, and height to provide the maximum amount of storage space.
