This isn't a flimsy laminate reproduction — it's a real, weighty executive desk built the way offices used to build them, with a finished bookcase back that means it can stand proudly in the middle of a room, not just against a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Executive double pedestal desk, 1960s Mid-Century Modern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood: Burmese teak and African teak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandles: sculpted round solid teak handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfiguration: Three stationary drawers down one pedestal, one large filing drawer down the other\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack: Finished \"bookcase back\" — styled and finished for viewing from behind, so the desk can be floated in a room rather than pushed against a wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Professionally refinished, ready to use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra: Genuine vintage, 1960s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Note on the Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe double pedestal executive desk was the workhorse of the mid-century office — built for real use, with enough drawer space to actually run a business out of. The bookcase back was a hallmark of higher-end executive desks of the era, since it meant the desk didn't need to hide against a wall; it could sit in the centre of a room as a genuine piece of furniture, finished on every visible side. Teak was the wood of choice for the era's best offices, prized then as now for how it wears in rather than wears out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy It Works in Your Space\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA desk like this is built to be the centrepiece of a home office, not squeezed into a corner. Its finished back means Toronto and Canadian buyers with an open-concept space or a den without a \"desk wall\" can place it exactly where it works best — filing drawer within reach, three-drawer pedestal for everyday supplies, and a teak top that only gets richer with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eDIMENSIONS:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 278.625px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 73px;\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 120.625px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e30\" (29\" to the underside desktop)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 73px;\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 120.625px;\"\u003e59.5\" (25\" seating area)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 73px;\"\u003eDepth \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 120.625px;\"\u003e29\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vintagehomeboutique.ca\/pages\/contact\" title=\"VH\"\u003eCONTACT US\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vintagehomeboutique.ca\/pages\/contact\" title=\"VH\"\u003e:\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith questions or to obtain a quote to customize\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf it is sold, and you just wish to be notified if we find another like it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you require additional specific photos.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONDITION:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn \u003ca title=\"VHB Product condition ratings\" href=\"http:\/\/vintagehomeboutique.ca\/blogs\/vintage-home-boutique\/64426307-our-product-condition-ratings\" target=\"_blank\"\u003every good condition\u003c\/a\u003e with extremely minor age appropriate wear to the wood in the form of sun fade where a desk pad once sat.
