Charleston Kidney Writing Desk

Inspired by the tropical craftsmanship of the West Indies and classic British and Dutch Colonial design periods, the Charleston Writing Desk has a timeless kidney shape, stretchers, rattan drawer fronts, intricately-carved leaf motifs on the legs and a robus leather writing surface top. Crafted of Cherry Veneers, Rattan and Resin, it is finished in the deep, rich Maraschino Cherry. There are five drawers. The left and right top drawers have one removable partition, one writing slide and pencil tray for use in either drawer. The center drawer has a drop-front for keyboard use. Antique bronze round knobs and ring-pull hardware add the finishing touch.

About the Charleston Collection

Charleston brings the relaxed elegance of southern living into your home, creating spaces that feel welcoming, comfortable, and full of character. Inspired by breezy porches, historic streets, and coastal retreats, the collection helps you create rooms where family and friends naturally gather and where everyday moments feel a little more relaxed. Cathedral cherry veneers, walnut and maple inlays, and burnished antique hardware add richness and craftsmanship, while woven textures and weathered finishes keep the look light and approachable. Soft coastal tones of whites, greens, blues, and sun-washed yellows help brighten a room and create an easy, comfortable atmosphere you’ll enjoy spending time in. The Charleston collection makes it simple to design a home that feels warm, personal, and inviting. These are pieces meant to be lived with every day, shaping spaces where you can entertain, unwind, and enjoy a home that feels both timeless and effortlessly comfortable.

Design & Construction

Frame: Hooker Furniture uses carefully chosen solid wood and select wood veneers over durable wood products in our furniture construction. Use of veneers enables more decorative looks unattainable with solid wood. Veneers are used over durable wood products such as medium density fiberboard (MDF) and particle board, made of renewable resources. MDF and particle board are used in quality furniture for areas that need to be stable, such as large surfaces. These durable wood products do not expand and contract with heat and cold and do not absorb moisture as much as solid wood, which results in stronger and longer-lasting furniture.

Finish: Hooker Furniture utilizes a multiple-step finish process of up to 16 finish steps. This results in an unsurpassed clarity, depth and color richness and durability to our finishes. Through hand-craftsmanship such as rubbing and padding, our finishes feel as good as they look, with a smoothness that is delightful to the touch.

Drawers: Hooker Furniture offers full height, full depth and full width drawers for maximum storage capacity. All drawers have strong, time-tested English or French dovetail construction, for years of problem-free use. Plywood drawer bottoms are attached to plywood drawer sides for strength and durability. Metal side guides or wood on wood guide systems operate smoothly.
