Metal Office Desk

Choose a metal office desk for the ultimate in industrial-chic office style – and exceptional durability.

Styling with a Metal Office Desk

As it does with any furniture piece, metal, when incorporated into an office desk, brings a cooling style temperature; what you choose to pair with a metal office desk can have a dramatic effect on the feel of your home office as a whole. For example, styling a wood chair with a metal desk will create a nice balance of warm and cool, while a metal chair will enhance the cool temperature and bring out the industrial tones of the desk.

Choosing a Metal Desk for Your Home Office

To make sure your new metal desk is built with quality metal that won’t wear down after repetitive use, read the product description. Look for words like chrome, pewter and iron – all of which signify quality metal construction. Make sure, too, to get a feel of the desk construction for yourself in the store; while reading the product description online is one thing, physically testing it out in-person is quite another. Also, ask the store personnel for more in-depth details about the desk’s materials, construction and other insights that would otherwise be hard to find online.

Metal Desk Materials

While most metal desks come in an all-metal construction, there are some that combine several materials for a one-of-a-kind aesthetic. Examples of material combinations include metal and glass, as well as metal and wood. Each combination holds its own timeless elegance, and choosing the right one for your space comes down to a matter of personal taste!
