Tiva Ladder Desk - Oak

The Tiva Ladder Desk brings leaning, ladder-style lines to your home while giving you a proper place to work. Measuring 840mm wide, 500mm deep and 1754mm tall, it pairs a lower desk area with three upper shelves, so you get a writing or laptop surface plus room above for books, plants and everyday bits. Made from MDF in an oak-effect finish, it weighs 26kg and arrives in a single box, ready to lean against the wall of your choice.

This piece suits smaller rooms where floor space is tight, since the frame leans against the wall and draws the eye upward rather than outward. Use it in a home office, a bedroom corner or a hallway nook where you want a compact spot to sit down and get things done. Because it is part of the wider Tiva range, you can pair it with other leaning units to build a larger media or storage setup that fits the shape of your space and the way you like to work. The open shelving keeps everything within easy reach while the slim footprint leaves the rest of the room feeling clear.

The leaning frame keeps the structure simple, with three open shelves above the desk surface for display and storage. The oak-effect finish gives you the warm look of wood grain across the MDF, so it is worth noting this is a finish rather than solid timber. Keep it looking its best by wiping down with a damp cloth or a duster. Avoid soaking the surface and dry off any spills quickly to protect the finish over time, and steer clear of harsh cleaners that could mark the oak-effect surface.

What is the desk made from?

The frame and surfaces are made from MDF with an oak-effect finish. This gives you the warm tone and grain look of oak without being solid timber. It is a practical choice that keeps the weight manageable at 26kg while still feeling sturdy against the wall.

How do I clean and care for it?

Wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth or run over them with a duster to keep dust at bay. Avoid soaking the MDF and dry any spills quickly, as standing water can affect the finish over time. Steer clear of harsh chemical cleaners to protect the oak-effect surface.

How much space do I need for it?

The desk measures 840mm wide, 500mm deep and 1754mm tall. Because it leans against the wall, it needs a stable vertical surface behind it and takes up little floor depth. Allow room in front for a chair and for your knees under the desk area.

Can I use it with other pieces?

Yes. It sits within the wider Tiva range, so you can place it alongside other leaning units to form a larger media or storage arrangement. This lets you build a setup that suits your room and mixes desk, shelving and display in one connected look.

Is this a work desk or for storage?

It does both. The lower section gives you a desk surface for a laptop, writing or study, while the three shelves above hold books, folders, plants or display items. It works well in a home office, bedroom or hallway where you want function and open storage together.
