Hoxton Desk - Wood

The Hoxton desk pairs an oak effect top with black metal legs for an industrial look that works well as a home working station. Measuring 1050mm wide, 470mm deep and 750mm high, it gives you a generous surface for a laptop, monitor, notepads and a mug of tea without dominating a room. Weighing 9kg and arriving in a single box, it is a practical size for smaller spaces as well as larger studies. The simple design keeps things easy to live with day to day.

This desk suits a home office, a spare bedroom set up for remote work, or a corner of the living room where you need a spot to sit and concentrate. The rustic wood tone and matt black frame sit comfortably alongside both older and more modern pieces, so you can slot it into an existing scheme with minimal fuss. The open frame keeps things feeling light rather than boxed in, and the shallow depth means it tucks against a wall or into an alcove without eating up floor space. It is a sensible choice if you want a dedicated work spot in a room that already has plenty going on.

The top is made from particle board with an oak effect finish, so the wood look is applied rather than solid timber. The metal legs are finished in black to contrast with the lighter surface, giving the desk its industrial character. To keep it looking its best, wipe the top with a damp cloth or run a duster over it, then dry off any excess moisture. Avoid soaking the surface or leaving standing water, as this can affect a particle board top over time. With that light care it will hold up well through daily use.

What is the desk made from?

The top is particle board with an oak effect finish, which means the wood look is applied to the surface rather than being solid timber. The legs are metal finished in black. This gives you the rustic industrial appearance while keeping the desk light enough to move and position easily.

How do I clean and care for it?

Wipe the top with a damp cloth or go over it with a duster to remove marks and dust. Dry off any excess moisture afterwards. Avoid soaking the surface or leaving standing water on the particle board top, as prolonged moisture can affect this type of material over time.

How big is the desk?

It measures 1050mm wide, 470mm deep and 750mm high. That gives you enough room for a laptop or monitor plus a few everyday items, while the fairly shallow depth means it fits neatly against a wall or into a corner without taking over the room.

Is this desk suitable for a home office?

Yes, it works well as a home working station. The surface holds a laptop, notepads and a mug comfortably, and the compact footprint suits a spare bedroom, a study corner or a spot in the living room. The industrial style also fits a range of interior schemes.

Does it come assembled?

The desk arrives flat in a single box weighing around 9kg, so some assembly is needed to attach the legs to the top. The light weight makes it straightforward to handle and reposition once built, whether you are setting it up alone or with a hand.
