Sauder® Beginnings® Summer Oak™ Computer Desk

Product Overview

What we need out of a home desk is quite simple. Top surface space and storage space. That’s it. This desk from the Beginnings® collection keeps it straightforward, while fulfilling all your needs of a home office desk. The top surface of this computer desk with shelving has enough room for your laptop, a cup of pens, a good smelling candle and your motivation (whether that’s candy, a photo of your family, or the countdown to quittin’ time). Two shelves of open storage beneath the top surface includes one that adjusts in case you need to make room up or down. Choose to store a hefty stack of binders or just enough room for a stapler and notepad. Sometimes we don’t want to see all of the office junk that we need to keep, but don’t want it on display. This computer desk with storage includes hidden storage behind a door for all of those “must keep” items. Finished in a Summer Oak, this wood home office desk is the humble but effective addition to any home office.

Spacious work space for laptop, lamp and more.

Adjustable shelf for items of various heights.

Hidden storage behind door.

Summer Oak™ finish.

In 1934, Erie Sauder started a woodworking business in a barn behind his home in Archbold, Ohio. Originally a builder of custom cabinetry and church pews, he began crafting small occasional tables from the fine, leftover wood. In 1940, the workmanship of these tables eventually inspired a traveling salesman to place an astounding order of 25,000 — a seemingly impossible purchase order for a budding company. But with a little ingenuity and a lot of determination, Sauder Woodworking Co. grew and flourished. Fast forward to 1953 for Sauder to find the answer to its calling — a patented table that could be assembled at home. And it was this snap-together table that marked the beginning of the ready-to-assemble furniture industry.

Sauder Woodworking Co. is North America’s leading producer of ready-to-assemble (RTA) furniture and one of the top five residential furniture manufacturers in the United States. An authentic American original, 90 percent of Sauder® furniture is manufactured in Archbold, Ohio — right where we were founded in 1934. Although the town is small (pop. 4,300), our facility is expansive. With some of the most technologically advanced equipment in the world, the facility features nearly 4 million square feet of space, employs about 2,000 workers and houses a wide variety of local and imported materials. Sauder also sources furniture from a network of quality global partners, including a line of office chairs that complement its residential and light commercial office furniture.
