Riverside Avenue Laptop / Writing Desk

Description

We can't promise to make your work minimal, but we can make your work space light and easy with the Riverside Avenue Laptop / Writing Desk. A wide, spacious worktop invites you to spread projects out, plop your laptop on the center pullout tray, and tackle one task at a time without distractions - and the clean, open space below provides plenty of room for a little midday leg stretch, too.

This no-fuss desk is crafted from durable poplar hardwood solids and cherry and maple veneers matched and finished in a warm dark cherry. Each of the unit's three drawers are constructed with dovetail joinery and mounted on smooth, full-extension, ball-bearing guides. The center drawer boasts a drop-front face that allows you to use it as a laptop, keyboard, or mouse work surface, though you can use the drawer conventionally with the included removable, felt-lined pencil tray. Two electrical outlets and a wiring access hole are located in the back of the drawer to manage computer cord clutter.

The two outside drawers feature felt-lined bottoms to protect fine pens and other office supplies. Sliding panels situated above each drawer extend the desk's work surface - and conceal drawer contents. More wiring access holes are located in the left and right inside end panels, and built-in base levelers keep the entire unit in place.

Notes on Riverside Construction
All Riverside domestic furniture is constructed of fine oak, ash, poplar, and pine wood. These wood types are durable and feature beautiful, open grains that make them much preferred among furniture manufacturers. Each piece of wood is first graded for quality, then kiln-dried to remove excess moisture and prevent splitting. The wood is then constructed into a high-quality furniture piece using a combination of hardwood solids and hand-selected veneers. Techniques used on Riverside pieces include dovetail joinery, heavy-duty drawer roller guides, and multi-step finish applications that include hand-sanding and polishing for a deep, lustrous result. All Riverside furniture is given this high-quality treatment to ensure the beauty and durability of your final product.

About Riverside Furniture
Riverside has been growing for more than half a century. The company's founder, Herman Udouj, opened the doors to his first factory in 1946, and along with 12 employees, he began making handcrafted furniture for the post-World War II Baby Boom era. Since then, generations of customers have furnished their homes and offices with Riverside's wide range of furniture products. Riverside strives to be trusted for quality products that are an affordable value. It's just that simple.

Care

It's recommended that Riverside furniture be cleaned with a damp, clean dust cloth. Any kind of surface or finish may be cleaned using this method. A mild detergent may be applied, if necessary, for areas that will not clean with just a cloth. Avoid the use of oil-based polishes and direct-spray polishes that can cause a waxy build-up.

Placing hot items, such as coffee mugs or dinner plates on a piece of furniture can soften the finish. Condensation from cold objects or liquid spills will cause the finish to "bubble" and leave a milky-white discoloration. Never use fingernail polish remover over a wood finish because if it makes contact with the finish it will eat through it much like a paint or varnish remover exposing the wood underneath and demanding that the surface be refinished to repair the damage. The damage described above can be eliminated by the use of coasters, trivets, and common sense.

Always use a protective pad beneath lamps or accessories, and on writing surfaces. Do not place rubber or vinyl products on the surface as discoloration and/or staining may occur as a result.
