What is the best wood for a desk?

Oak and beech are the best choices for a desk thanks to their robustness and timeless aesthetics. These solid wood species offer excellent resistance to scratches and daily wear.

To choose your wooden desk top, consider these options:

  • Oak: exceptional durability, pronounced grain, ideal for intensive use
  • Beech: smooth surface, uniform light tone, excellent value for money
  • Walnut: premium look, chocolate color, perfect for executive offices
  • Ash: fine grain, optimal resistance, suited to professional environments

The price varies according to the chosen species, the top thickness, and the dimensions. Solid woods ensure greater longevity than engineered panels for this demanding daily use.
