Full dimensions are listed at the end of the Overview on every product page, taken from the finished piece rather than from a drawing. If a measurement matters for your space, write to us and we will check the actual item before it ships.
Care instructions ship with the product and are printed on the care label where there is one. Solid wood wants a damp cloth and an occasional oil; stone should be sealed once a year; wool and linen prefer a cold wash and drying flat.
Shipping is free on every order, with tracking, anywhere in the United States. We do not ship outside the US, so there are no customs charges or import duties on anything you order.
Orders are processed in 1 to 2 business days and most orders placed before 2pm ET leave the same day. Typical delivery is 7 to 15 days from dispatch. Tracking arrives by email as soon as the carrier scans the parcel.
Thirty days to return anything unused and in its original packaging, with all fixings included. We cover the return shipping when an item is faulty, damaged or not what you ordered. If a piece arrives damaged, send a photo of the item and the outer box within 7 days and we ship a replacement without asking for the broken one back.
Furniture
Solid ash, 43 by 22 inches, with one shallow drawer and a cable notch at the back.
PROPORTION
Weight in a small room comes from bulk, not footprint. A slim top edge and turned legs let this read as a table, which is what keeps a bedroom feeling like a bedroom after you put a laptop on it.
DRAWER
Deep desk drawers become a place things go to be forgotten. This one holds pens, a notebook and a charger, which is exactly what needs to leave the surface and nothing more.
CABLES
Small detail, large effect. Chargers and monitor leads drop straight through and out of sight, so the top stays clear without a tray bolted underneath.

This is finished stock from the same production runs that supply larger homeware retailers — bought as a lot, priced without the showroom margin. Same piece, same materials. When the lot is gone we cannot always reorder.

That was the whole brief and it delivers. The thin ash top and round legs keep it visually light, so at 43 by 22 inches it reads as a table rather than a workstation. The shallow drawer takes the pens and notebooks that would otherwise sit out.
Laptop charger and monitor cable both drop through the notch at the back edge and out of sight. Assembly ran about twenty minutes and every hole lined up on the first try. Solid ash, not a laminate, and the 30 inch height is standard so my chair works.
Part-assembled. The hardware and an Allen key are in the box and most pieces are four to eight bolts. The number of steps and the rough assembly time are on each product page.
Check the boxed dimensions in The details before you order, not just the assembled ones — a doorway or a stair turn is what usually catches people out, and larger tops ship as a single slab. If a measurement is borderline, write to us and we will measure the actual item before it leaves.
Larger pieces are delivered to your door. Carriers do not carry items upstairs, into a particular room, unpack them or take the packaging away, so line up a second pair of hands for anything heavy.
Where a page says solid oak or solid acacia, it is solid through the whole thickness, not veneer over board. Grain and tone vary from piece to piece because the wood does; we do not photograph a stained sample and ship something else.
