Why a Sustainable Desk Isn’t Just a Trend —It’s a Smart Investment

At Work from Home Desks, we obsess over the details to bring you a product that's both beautiful and functional. Our process begins with hand-sanding and oiling every piece of timber in our workshop in Cambridge, New Zealand, before we even start cutting our desks. This isn’t just about making it look good; it’s about making it last.

Premium Finish, Premium Feel

We use a top-of-the-line, plant-based hard wax oil on each Baltic birch plywood sheet. This isn’t your average finish—it's water-resistant, incredibly strong, and enhances the natural beauty of the wood. The result? A desk that’s not only a joy to look at but a pleasure to touch.

The return of honest (and beautiful) wood furniture has been trending for a while now and is only gaining momentum. 

Our desks can be seen in homes across New Zealand from Auckland to Wellington and Christchurch and in apartments in New York and Los Angeles in the UNSA.

Eco-Friendly and Durable

Our choice of plant-based hard wax oil underscores our commitment to sustainability. Unlike synthetic finishes that can be full of harmful chemicals, our natural wax oil is eco-friendly and made from renewable resources. It’s tough, too, forming a water-resistant barrier that keeps your desk looking pristine, even with daily use. And with zero plastic parts or tools needed for assembly, you can feel good about every aspect of your desk.

Assembly is a breeze, and we’ve minimized waste to keep our impact on the environment as low as possible. We believe in doing things right, from start to finish.

Because at the end of the day, it's the little things that make a big difference.
