Riverside Bella Vista Curved Writing Desk

Description

We know why the Riverside Belle Vista Curved Writing Desk would fall into the traditional category - its warm, burnished finish, simple style, and subtle molding are hallmarks of classic design. But what makes it truly special is arguably borrowed from today's contemporary category: a softly curved shape that fits into eclectic transitional rooms as well as stately offices.

This unique desk is crafted from durable hardwood solids and cherry veneers matched and finished in a rich transitional cherry shade. The center drawer, constructed with dovetail joinery and mounted on smooth, full-extension, ball-bearing guides, boasts a drop-front face that allows you to use it as a laptop, keyboard, or mouse work surface. Or, you can opt to use the drawer conventionally with the included removable, felt-lined pencil tray. Slip this desk into your living room, kitchen, home office, or teen's room - or combine it with our other Riverside Belle Vista pieces for a complete office look.

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

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.
