The black tempered glass inlay set into the desktop is both a design feature and a practical one: it gives you a hard, wipe-clean writing surface in the middle of a woodgrain desk, and it catches light in a way that lifts the whole piece. Around it, walnut brown woodgrain and a layered slatted front with horizontal stacking give the desk a finished appearance from the visitor's side. A silver cable grommet keeps monitor and laptop leads out of sight. At 1.4 metres, Model L111 suits modern offices and serious home workspaces β large enough to work properly, contained enough for a room that is not a dedicated office. Available assembled or flat-packed.

Buying guide
A glass inlay is easier to keep clean than timber and more forgiving of pens, coffee rings and sweaty palms β but it shows fingerprints, so keep a microfibre cloth in a drawer. Tempered glass resists everyday knocks; it is still glass, so avoid dropping heavy objects onto it. Position the desk so daylight falls across rather than directly onto the glass, otherwise reflections can be distracting on screen. Allow 1m of clearance behind for the chair, and check doorway widths before choosing assembled delivery. Wipe the woodgrain with a barely damp cloth.
How it compares
Against a plain woodgrain desk, the glass inlay is more practical for writing and cleaning and gives the desk a more contemporary look. Against the two-tone XS-9 at the same size, this is warmer and more traditional in tone. For the largest working surface, the 2m executive desk remains the step up.
