Desks by Sauder
The home or office desk that you use today has come a long way since its invention hundreds
and hundreds of years ago. Originally mainly large sloping top pieces of wood on legs, desks were used in
monasteries and universities long before the invention of the printing press. Since all books before the
invention of the printing press were very large volumes of hand-printed manuscripts, those ancient desks
needed to have very large top surfaces so that students or monks could rest the large manuscripts on a flat
surface and read them, as well as turn the pages with some degree of ease.
Today, desks are a far cry from those early wooden creations. From executive desks with huge
veneered surfaces of gleaming mahogany and ultra-quiet gliding drawers large enough to hold a weeks’ worth of
groceries, to efficient corner desks with unexpected geometric angles that maximize space in small areas; from
computer desks designed to attractively conceal technology and yet make all the tools of modern communications
and information management available quickly and efficiently, to home office desks that enable working men and
women to have a family life on top of balancing successful careers…the desk has never been in larger demand!
Sauder, the inventor of RTA (ready to assemble) furniture, has a full range of desks for every
need and budget. Not only will consumers find our Sauder RTA desks affordable and easy to take home or to the
office for assembly, but buyers of Sauder desks will be delighted by all the extras included as special features
in our full line of home and office desks. Sauder computer desks come in a variety of colors
and designs – from arch-conservative to decidedly modern, all with sliding keyboard trays and many other features
designed to make work fun again, or at least comfortable! Sauder executive desks come in finishes from
Cherry to Maple, with ample room for all the trappings of business success and plenty of surface space for the
many projects busy executives are juggling on a daily basis. Our executive desks are top-notch,
