Oak is one of the most popular woods for desks: strong, long lasting and attractive, with a grain that suits both traditional and modern rooms. Here you'll find oak computer desks, solid oak desks, corner oak desks and small oak desks, in natural and light finishes and in combinations with white, black or charcoal paint.
We don't sell furniture ourselves. When you find a desk you like, click through to the retailer to check the latest price, stock, delivery charges and returns policy before you buy.
Solid oak is made from oak timber throughout. Oak veneer has a thin layer of real oak over another board, and oak effect is a printed finish on a manufactured board. Solid oak is the heaviest and the longest lasting, while veneer and oak effect are lighter and often more affordable. The product details say which is used.
Oak ranges from light natural tones to mid-brown and darker, smoked finishes. Pairing oak with white, grey or charcoal paint on the legs or drawers gives a modern, two-tone look.
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry straight away, and keep hot mugs and laptops off the bare surface with coasters or a desk mat. Occasional waxing or oiling keeps solid oak looking its best.
Solid oak is stronger, can be sanded and refinished if it gets damaged, and usually lasts longer, but it is heavier and costs more. Oak veneer is a good option if you want the look of oak at a lower price, as long as you treat it carefully, because the veneer layer is thin.
Oak is a hard wood and resists everyday wear, but it can still be scratched or dented. A desk mat, coasters and a cloth under hot or rough items will protect the surface.
Oak works with almost any colour scheme. White and grey walls make it look fresh and modern, while greens and deep blues complement its warm tone.
Solid oak desks are heavy, so check the weight if you plan to move the desk or place it upstairs. Veneer and oak effect desks are much lighter.
Yes. Many oak computer desks and writing desks include drawers, and some have a filing drawer or a cupboard.
