BH | Studio Stamford Slatted 60-Inch Wall-Mount Desk

In the 1950s, Danish designers began hanging furniture straight on the wall, leaving the floor clear in small city apartments, and wall-hung shelving and storage soon became a fixture of British homes too. The idea suits an old English town like Stamford, whose Georgian stone houses are full of handsome rooms where floor space is precious.

This one is a long, slim desk that mounts straight to the wall and floats above the floor. A slatted drawer at either end pulls out fully for stationery and chargers, and between them a keyboard tray slides away under the top when you need the surface for writing. A cable hole at the back lets cords drop neatly to the outlet, and the desk is rated to hold 228 lbs, plenty for a monitor, a laptop and a lamp. Because it hangs on the wall, you choose its height, for a desk chair or a tall stool. Engineered wood sits under a laminate in Hazel, Almond or White. Assembly is required.

It fits where a full desk will not: a narrow hall, beneath a window, or beside the bed in a studio apartment or dorm room. Hung lower, it also works as a media shelf beneath a wall-mounted television. Add a woven-seat chair, a cluster of framed prints above, a ceramic lamp and a trailing plant at one end. This listing is for one desk.
