Our Family Craft Shop Lake Mills Secretary Desk

Yes, the drop-down surface is designed for daily use and supports standard laptops and writing materials. However, because it relies on hinges, we recommend avoiding heavy leaning or placing excessive weight on the edge of the desk when it is fully extended.

This desk is finished with a catalyzed conversion varnish. This is a high-performance, professional-grade finish that is significantly more resistant to water, heat, and scratches than standard lacquers, making it ideal for a high-traffic workspace.

The Lake Mills Secretary Desk typically ships as a single, fully constructed unit. Because of its solid hardwood construction, it is quite heavy, so you will want to ensure you have assistance when moving it into your desired room.

The interior cubbies are sized for standard letter-sized paper, envelopes, and small office supplies like pens or staplers. They are not designed to hold large binders or bulky electronics, but they are excellent for keeping your desktop clear of clutter.

With a depth of only 16 inches, this desk has a very slim profile that works well in tight spaces. Just be sure to account for the additional clearance needed when the writing surface is dropped down, which will extend into the room by approximately 12 to 15 inches.
