Desks by the Inch

Creating your own modern custom desk is easy with Room & Board’s custom Desks by the Inch program. We walk you through the process step by step so that it’s simple to design a modern desk that fits your space and needs precisely. And because Room & Board furniture is made in America of quality U.S. and imported materials, your custom desk can be ready for delivery in as few as five weeks.

When you sit down to work in your home office, it’s inspiring to have a desk that you designed yourself, created from beautiful materials and built by artisans who use tried-and-true, age-old techniques to build furniture of lasting quality. Room & Board modern custom desks are built to order by small U.S. companies in Vermont, Wisconsin and Minnesota from materials such as domestically sourced wood, stainless steel and natural steel.

Whether you’re setting up a home office, a study nook for kids or outfitting an entire office space, the perfect desk is a great place to start. Designing a modern custom desk from Room & Board means you’ll get exactly what you need. There are practically endless desk options. With hundreds of sizes and more than 20 top materials, our Top + Base program lets you design your perfect desk.

Choose from our designs, influenced by Mid-Century Modern, Danish Modern, Arts & Crafts and other classic desk shapes. You’ll find options that reflect and enhance the style of your home, providing a seamless transition from work space to living space.

Start by choosing a base. Whether you want to celebrate the natural beauty of wood or enjoy the sturdy, modern sensibility of natural steel with subtle weld marks or commit to the clean, contemporary look of stainless steel, you can choose your favorite material in exactly the dimensions you want.

Then choose a surface for the top that fits in with your office best. Our custom modern desks can be topped by sustainable wood, stone and glass. Order tabletop material samples to see how furniture materials would look in your office space.

Complete your office with a Room & Board modern custom cabinet or file storage that matches. Then pick out the perfect ergonomically designed office chair from the Room & Board modern office chair collection.

If you’re not sure where to start, you can get free design services, including advice and ideas from our Design Associates in our stores, over the phone or online.
