There's an endless variety of antique and vintage desks, often made from strong woods like cherry or mahogany. For example: Drop front desks (the writing surface comes forward on a hinge); Slant fronts (as seen in clerks' offices); and Roll tops (wooden slats 'roll' backward to expose the writing surface). Popular styles include Victorian, Mission Oak, and Mid-Century Modern.
