Shaker style furniture is well-loved for its clean lines and warm wood tones. One of our favorite pieces is the classic work table, historically used as a multi-purpose piece and often reinterpreted by contemporary furniture-makers as a computer or writing desk...
- 1 The beechwood Studio Home Office Computer Desk from Walmart is well priced at $119. Beechwood has a more orange-colored tint than the other woods shown.
- 2 Overstock.com sells the birch Archer Desk and Hutch, a contemporary version of a Shaker writing desk, for $390.
- 3 Shaker Style in New Hampshire sells a handcrafted Two-Drawer Writing Table for $850.
- 4 A maple Two-Drawer Shaker-Style Work Table can be purchased from Shaker Workshops in Massachusetts as a kit for $500 or a finished piece for $1,000.

www.gothiccabinetcraft.com is another good resource for those of you in NYC. Not sure if they ship to other locales.
I have the table in #4. It might be my favorite possession. Every time I look at it, its design makes me happy. The proportions and the turned legs are perfect. Right now it's a sideboard in my living room; it was my desk in high school and after college.
