Like a puzzle, this desk is held together entirely through tension, ready to assemble or disassemble with only light taps of the included hammer. The tension desk features precision-cut steel legs and hand-cut wood joinery. The wood tenons crisscrosses inside the leg to form a strong wedged connection. The powder-coated steel hard maple and ebony wedges create a beautiful contrast making this modern desk a subtle statement piece in any room or office.
