Boom, it’s The Ruthie; what else can be said? If you’re looking for Los Angeles’ ultimate rustic computer desk with just a touch of modern design, this is your stop. Sometimes you hear this described as a waterfall desk; fine by us! We don’t remember exactly which words Ruthie used when she came to talk to us about this design, but it definitely has strong Northern, Winter cabin vibes. Sounds good, thanks for the inspiration, Ruthie!

Instead of discussing the surface or the base, let’s just talk about the desk as a whole because that’s really the discussion to have. From surface to legs, this handmade desk is in a world of Douglas fir. 1.5 inches thick all the way around, this reclaimed, old-growth wood shines with natural beauty. We think this piece looks best with natural, textured grain characteristics and the natural patina coloration that indicates the age of the wood. Naturally, if you disagree, we can make this desk with whichever texture and color combo suits your home best. 

The one, non-wooden design feature on this desk is the single cross brace made of 2 inch by 1 inch black rectangular steel tube. Besides providing added structure and stability, the brace serves as an awesome footrest. As an added bonus, you can position the bar in two whole locations: here or there.
