A compact 2.1m solid pine study desk for a bedroom, study or home office. It has a 924mm desk top, a sliding drawer for stationery and two open shelves above for books and files. It's made in South Africa from solid, heat-treated pine, ships flat-packed and is delivered anywhere in the country.
The drawer sits flush between the front uprights, with knee space underneath, so you sit comfortably in front of the desk. It comes with a cross brace for a rock-solid freestanding unit, or fix it to the wall.

Why customers choose it
- Solid pine, not chipboard: no swelling, no peeling, and it can be sanded, painted, stained or oiled.
- Small footprint: under a metre wide, so it fits a bedroom corner or next to a window.
- Storage built in: a sliding drawer plus two shelves above, so homework, books and the laptop all have a home.
- Adjustable: pre-drilled positions every 13cm, so you can move the desk and shelves to the right height.
- Grows with you: add a bookshelf bay alongside later, using the same parts.
