Today, I was asked by a friend if I had a suggestions for him regarding a new desk for his full-time workspace, the criteria was simple, cool and not overtly large. My response was to set up a clean, modern workspace, I would suggest the new the new Walker Desk over at Crate and Barrel. The beautiful dark wood and glass combination upgrades any home office on a real budget.
The Walker desk has a smart wood design with a "floating" glass top and fully extending keyboard pullout. The pullout drawer houses convenient compartment for storage of pens, pencils, and office supplies. A rear shelf behind the drawer would make a great space for modern accoutrement, such as a router, a cable modem, and a backup hard drive. A metal crossbar lends support and a hip utilitarian accent.
- Solid ash and ash veneer
- Rich espresso stain
- Protective lacquer finish
- Tempered glass top

A great addition to the Walker Desk is the Walker File Cabinet. Solid hardwood stained a deep espresso warms up both modern and traditional rooms. And the unexpected mix with tempered glass keeps the look light and contemporary.
The File cabinet has a clear glass top revealing a smart open storage cubbie over a single drawer and a letter/legal sized file. Rolls smoothly on four casters (two lock); the large file drawer rolls out on its own caster for added stability. Attractive linear brushed stainless steel pulls add a subtle gleam.
