Concerned about placing a custom order request online?
If you are not 100% sure as to what desk frame you are going to purchase, place the order for the table top now, and we can change the compatibility of your desk top without charge later on. Desk frames are stock items and so usually are dispatched much quicker.
How do you price your desk tops?
By the square meter depending on wood type, plus any extras you may decide to add when configuring your top. We have a desk top pricing calculator. The estimate factors in delivery and is inclusive of VAT.
All our partners are based in the UK; as such there will be no customs/border charges for UK customers.
