140cm is the width at which a desk stops being a compromise. There is room for a monitor and keyboard with an open book or notepad beside them — the thing you cannot do on a 100cm desk, and the reason students and anyone who writes as well as types should size up. At 60cm deep and 73cm high, it sits just under standard height, which suits shorter users and relaxed typing postures. The wooden construction gives it warmth and weight, so it works in a bedroom or a living space as furniture rather than office kit. Built for computer use, studying, writing and everyday office work. Available assembled or flat-packed.

Buying guide
If you write by hand as well as type, width is the specification to prioritise: 140cm lets a notebook sit open beside a keyboard permanently rather than being shuffled aside every time you need the mouse. Position the monitor an arm's length away with its top third at eye level. Keep drinks on a coaster — wood marks from condensation and heat — and keep the desk out of direct afternoon sun, which fades and dries timber over time. Leave a metre behind for the chair, and re-tighten fixings after a month of daily use.
How it compares
Against a 120cm desk, the extra width takes a notebook alongside a keyboard, which matters for students. Against a metal-framed desk, wood is warmer and quieter in a bedroom. For dual monitors and peripherals, 180cm or an L-shape gives more room.
Frequently asked questions
Why choose 140cm over 120cm?
It lets an open notebook sit permanently beside the keyboard rather than being shuffled aside for the mouse - the main reason students size up.
Is 73cm a standard height?
It is just under the 75cm standard, which suits shorter users and more relaxed typing postures. Any office chair still works with it.
How do I protect a wooden desktop?
Coasters under drinks, and keep it out of direct afternoon sun. Heat and condensation are what mark timber over time.
