In a world where we spend countless hours at our desks—whether at home or in the office—why settle for anything less than perfect? A desk should do more than just hold your laptop. It should support your productivity, suit your space, and reflect your personal style. That’s where Soil & Oak comes in.
Our handcrafted custom built-in desks are built from durable black steel piping and premium American-made butcher block, available in your choice of walnut, oak, or maple. Whether you're setting up a minimalist workspace or building a dual-monitor command center, here's how to design your ideal desk from the ground up.
1. Choose the Right Desk Type: Single or Double Seater
Start by considering who the desk is for and how it will be used.
-
Single-Seater Custom Desks: Perfect for solo workspaces, home offices, or student study nooks.
-
Double-Seater Desks: Ideal for shared offices, collaborative spaces, or couples working side-by-side.
At Soil & Oak, every desk is handcrafted to order, so we tailor each piece to your exact layout and usage.
2. Select Your Butcher Block Surface: Walnut, Oak, or Maple
The desktop material is more than just a surface—it's the visual anchor of your workspace.
-
Walnut: Rich, dark, and sophisticated—perfect for modern or executive-style offices.
-
Oak: Classic and versatile, with beautiful grain patterns that suit both traditional and modern décor.
-
Maple: Clean, light, and minimalist—a great fit for Scandinavian or contemporary aesthetics.
All of our American-made butcher block desktops are sustainably sourced, sealed for durability, and built to last.
3. Customize the Size to Fit Your Space
One of the biggest advantages of a custom desk is the ability to control every dimension.
-
Width: Whether you’re fitting a desk into a compact corner or spanning an entire wall, we’ll craft it to size.
-
Depth: Need room for dual monitors or a writing area? We can increase depth for maximum usability.
-
Height: Set your ideal ergonomic height for seated or standing work setups.
You’ll never have to “make it work” with an off-the-shelf desk again.
4. Add Functional, Space-Saving Shelves
Stay productive and clutter-free with custom shelving options. Choose from:
-
Upper shelves for books, décor, or plants
-
Under-desk storage for printers, office supplies or files
-
Integrated monitor risers for improved posture
Our shelving options are designed to help you organize your essentials and keep your workspace clear—so you can focus on what matters most.
5. Enjoy Easy Setup
Your custom desk should work hard—not be hard work to set up. That’s why we make installation a breeze:
-
Apply the included protective sealant (takes just 5–10 minutes)
-
Allow it to dry overnight
-
Start working the very next day
We handle the hard part—so you can get back to doing your best work.
