Desk Ben Harvey

The DESK BEN HARVEY is a solid teak workspace solution measuring 160.00 cm in width, 75.00 cm in height, and 50.00 cm in depth. Designed primarily for office and study environments, this rectangular workstation occupies 0.6000 cubic meters of shipping volume when packaged. The physical footprint provides a surface area spanning 160 centimeters horizontally and 50 centimeters vertically, accommodating standard desktop computers, laptops, writing materials, and task lighting simultaneously.

The primary structural and finishing material is teak wood, selected for its dense grain structure, natural oil content, and resistance to environmental moisture. Teak surfaces display distinctive linear grain patterns ranging from golden brown to deeper honey tones, which vary slightly across individual pieces due to the natural characteristics of the timber. The wood is sanded to a smooth finish, sealing the pores while maintaining the tactile qualities of raw hardwood. The construction utilizes traditional joinery techniques, securing the top panel directly to the supporting legs and framework to eliminate lateral wobble during use.

The top surface is a single continuous teak slab with a flat profile, joined securely to withstand daily downward pressure from office equipment. The edges of the desktop are squared off with slight easing along the corners to prevent sharp angles while maintaining a clean, architectural silhouette. Beneath the surface, the structural clearance allows standard office chairs with armrests to slide underneath completely, supporting ergonomic posture by enabling users to sit close to the working edge.

At 75.00 cm high, the desk aligns with standard ergonomic seating heights prescribed for desk work, accommodating individuals ranging from the 5th to 95th percentile in height when paired with an adjustable chair. The 50.00 cm depth is specifically proportioned for rooms with spatial constraints, allowing the furniture to fit against perimeter walls or float within smaller office footprints without obstructing room pathways. The modest depth keeps monitors and documents within arm’s reach while preserving floor space in compact architectural layouts.

Maintenance requirements for the DESK BEN HARVEY correspond to standard solid wood furniture care. Routine cleaning requires only a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust and particulate accumulation from the grain. Because the material is genuine teak, periodic application of teak oil or furniture wax can be performed to replenish natural oils and maintain the original sheen, though the factory finish provides adequate baseline protection against minor liquid spills. The solid hardwood construction allows minor surface scratches to be lightly sanded and refinished locally without compromising the structural integrity of the desk.

The packaging volume of 0.6000 m3 reflects the spatial requirements for transit and freight handling. Assembly requirements vary based on delivery specifications, typically involving the attachment of the leg assemblies to the pre-drilled underside of the main desktop using heavy-duty metal hardware. The weight of the solid teak components requires two individuals during the assembly and positioning process to ensure safe handling and prevent damage to the joinery points.
