- Is the whole desk solid teak?
- The desktop and frame are listed as solid teak, not a veneer over engineered wood. Check the drawer interior and back panel, which are often a secondary wood on period desks.
- Will it fit a dual-monitor setup?
- At 130 cm wide and 70 cm deep, two monitors fit but leave little room for papers. A single large monitor plus a laptop is the more comfortable arrangement.
- Can I raise the height for standing work?
- No. The height is fixed at 78 cm, which suits most seated users around average height. Taller users may want a desk riser or a taller chair setup.
- What condition should I expect from a 1950s desk?
- Expect patina: fading, small dents and wear on edges are normal for a piece this age. Ask about drawer runners, joint tightness and any repairs before buying.
- Teak or oak?
- Teak is the warmer, more typical mid-century choice and hides wear well. Oak is lighter and paler, which suits brighter rooms but shows marks more.
- Does it come with cable management or storage?
- No cable routing and only one shallow drawer. Plan on a desk tray or clips for cables and a separate filing cabinet for documents.
