Balch Black Desk

The velvet-upholstered sides are a signature contemporary design element that adds a tactile, luxurious texture to the piece. Based on our expertise with high-end materials, this feature provides a soft, "glamorous" contrast to the sleek metal and wood components, making it an ideal choice for a professional yet stylish home office or a "cloffice" (closet office) setup.

To preserve the high-gloss finish, we recommend dusting the wood top regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mixture of mild soap and water while avoiding harsh chemicals that could dull the luster. For the velvet sides, a light brushing or a vacuum with a soft fabric attachment will keep the material looking plush and prevent dust buildup.

With a rectangular surface measuring over 43 inches wide, this desk comfortably accommodates a standard laptop and a secondary monitor. For those using dual-monitor setups, we recommend measuring your monitor stands to ensure they fit within the desk's span. The integrated pull-out drawer helps maintain a clean workspace by providing storage for peripherals, tablets, and office essentials.

Yes, the 43.25" width and 21.75" depth make this desk exceptionally well-suited for urban apartments or multi-functional spaces. Its relatively shallow profile ensures it can fit comfortably into narrow corridors or bedroom corners without obstructing traffic flow. Furthermore, the combination of a high-gloss finish and velvet-upholstered sides allows it to function as a sophisticated accent piece that blends seamlessly with residential decor when not being used for work.

This desk is built with a sleek metal base designed for maximum stability. Unlike traditional wood frames that may be more susceptible to environmental changes, the metal frame provides a rigid, stalwart foundation that resists wobbling. This ensures a consistent, level surface for daily typing and writing tasks over years of use.

Yes, customer assembly is required for this item. While many larger furniture sets include full-service setup, occasional items like this desk are designed for straightforward home assembly. This allows for more efficient shipping and ensures the piece can be easily maneuvered into your home and set up in your preferred location.
