What is an Executive Desk?

An executive desk is a desk that features a finished back, meant to sit in the center of your home office. Instead of facing the wall, you face out into the room at an executive desk. Many executive desks feature a top that extends out wider than the base. This creates an overhang for clients to pull up a seat at the desk.

For those setting up a workspace at home, an executive office desk helps create a beautiful space. Open floor layouts often feature an office off the living room, where the space is visible from high traffic areas. A wooden executive desk that faces out into the room creates a stunning focal point in the room.

Executive Solid Wood Desk Options

Choosing an Amish, solid wood executive desk brings many options for customization. Our furniture makers in Ohio build each desk, one at a time, using solid American hardwoods. This allows you to choose the wood you prefer, from classic options like Oak and Cherry to Hickory, Maple, Walnut or Elm wood. All wood types offer a variety of stain or paint colors.

All solid wood desks include drawers with dovetailed joints at the front and back of all drawers. This creates the most durable drawer possible. High-quality drawer slides further add to the function and durability.

The finish on our desks is a catalyzed conversion varnish. This finish is waterproof and heat resistant to 220 degrees. No more worries about your morning coffee or glass of water leaving a ring on your desktop.

Cherry wood executive desk styles are a timeless design for luxury, high end office spaces. The rich, texture and color of Cherry wood adds instant warmth and style to the space. Cherry executive desks are a favorite in the Stratton desk style.

Modern Cherry wood executive desks often feature a two-tone finish. We display the Buckingham Desk with a rich, Cherry wood desktop paired with a sleek, black stained Maple wood base.

The best wood for your new office desk depends on the vision you have for the space. All hardwood options are strong and durable. Light wood executive desk styles often feature solid Maple wood, with its smooth, even grain texture. Light stain colors on Maple wood include Sandy Point, Cocoa Light and Willowbend.

Maple is our top recommended wood choice for all painted desk options. Choosing a white executive desk brightens up a small home office. We pair white painted desk bases with the complementary wooden desktop of your choice. The Buckingham desk feature a white painted Maple wood base with a Gunsmoke stained, Maple desktop.

We do not recommend choosing a painted wood for the top of your desk. A stained wooden desktop will look beautiful for many years. The variation in wood grain and texture hides the occasional scratch or knick in the desktop much better than a smooth, painted finish. If you are concerned about scratches, consider using a leather desk pad to protect the top.

Hickory is a tough, sturdy hardwood excellent for a durable executive desk. The Janka wood hardness rating places Hickory wood at 1820, the hardest of all wood options in Amish furniture. We display the Brooklyn style in Hickory wood with Gunsmoke stain.

Walnut is a favorite option for a natural wood executive desk style. The rich, medium dark tones in Walnut wood pair beautifully with contemporary color schemes and modern designs. Our Brooklyn office collection showcases solid Walnut wood in the desks, finished with a clear finish. Walnut is beautiful on its own or paired with a black, Maple wood base as a 2-tone dark wood executive desk.

Black executive desk styles are a wonderful way to highlight an exotic wood texture like Elm or Flame Birch. The smooth, black desk bases allow stunning wood tops to be the clear focal point. We feature black executive desks with Elm wood, Cherry wood, Hickory wood, Walnut wood and Birch wood tops and panels. The black is usually Maple wood with an Ebony stain, creating a sleek, even color tone.

Storage Layout Options for Amish Executive Desks

Amish executive desks include storage drawers in the base. Common layouts include a set of three drawers on each side of the kneehole. The bottom drawers are typically file drawers and the other drawers a bit smaller.

Many desk styles include a pullout tray underneath the desktop, perfect for writing without worry of scratching the top. The finished back of executive desk styles creates a closed kneehole for privacy. The back of the desk may be simple and flat or include decorative wooden panels and trim work.

The space above the kneehole is perfect for a small, pencil drawer or a pullout tray for your keyboard. If you will use it as a computer desk, request extra grommet holes in the desktop to keep electrical cords neat.

All desk styles are available with a height adjustable base. These executive standing desks encourage movement and exercise throughout your day by easily transitioning between sitting and standing. The lobby of your office instantly becomes welcoming with reception desk areas in standing positions.

Size Options for Home Office Executive Desks

Most home office executive desks range from 66-72 inches wide. All desks are available in custom sizes. Adding a few extra inches instantly creates more space in the kneehole for moving around in your desk chair.

Desks are available in smaller sizes as well. Smaller desks may only feature a single stack of three drawers, optional on the left or right side of the kneehole. Consider the style of the desk as well. The decorative flutes in the wood of the Stratton desk requires a larger size for the same drawer space than those with simple layouts.

Desktops range from 26 inches to 30 inches deep for styles without an overhang. All desks are available with a 36-inch-deep top, shown on the Buckingham desk style. This makes it easy to pull up chairs when meeting with a client.

Executive Office Furniture Sets

All executive desks are available with matching credenzas and file cabinets. Add bookcases, display cases or storage cabinets that match your desk. Building each cabinet from scratch allows you to choose the perfect size and color to fit your space.

Complete the office setup with an executive desk chair in a matching wood tone. Our high-quality, executive office chairs are available in your choice of leather or fabric.
