Your first impression of the Graft Desk by Derek Welsh might have you believe that it's just a basic all-purpose table. From a distance it may seem to have been assembled rather simply into a four-legged furnishing with a rectangular tabletop. It's upon close inspection that one can appreciate the incredible care in its craftsmanship.
Beautiful solid oak timber was used to make the legs and the frame of the writing table. These defining components were not merely fastened together but actually flow smoothly into one another thanks to masterly sanding techniques. A pair of hidden drawers can be found within the round-cornered wooden workstation and the Graft Desk by Derek Welsh is topped off by a soft layer of gray linoleum, cut and scrupulously placed.
