Fitted Oak Bookcase with Cupboards Incorporating a Kneehole Desk. Monday, Dec 27 2010 

Clients from Herstmonceux, East Sussex required plenty of storage for books, computer, paperwork and craft supplies. Their room lent itself to a full wall of units,  as R and M had a very good idea of how they wanted it to look the design was arrived at fairly easily. The approximate overall size is 2.5m high (8′ 4″) X 3m wide (10′). The choice of finish is Light Oak.

Showing Filing Cabinet and Removeable Panel.

The doors are constructed from European oak, the frames mortice and tenon jointed with central fielded panel and hung on Blum style hinges The lower section incorporates the knee hole desk in the centre with filing drawer inside the left hand pair of doors and shelf over. The cupboard to the right houses the computer and printer. The big concern was the excess heat and access for wiring, this was overcome with a removeable fielded panel with a discrete air gap at the top to the rear of the kneehole.  The end cupboards on both sides are storage with adjustable shelves. The book cases above have solid oak shelves, fully adjustable and suspended on magic wires.

The furniture is fully fitted around the skirting boards and scribed to walls and ceiling.

This piece was commissioned to match existing dining room furniture for a couple in Eastbourne, so careful measurements of the original pieces were needed to match the mouldings and detailing.

The doors hold lots of small storage boxes with sub divisions and additional pockets on the right. At the top of the doors are loose trays for the little parts you are working on.Larger drawers for paper and card and lidded tubs for material etc. are incorporated in the desk itself.

Desk in Sapele with touch opening drawers. Thursday, Aug 26 2010 

This desk was designed with the end user in mind. It needed to be accessible from a wheelchair and the drawers opening with very little effort. There are two working areas so when working at the desk they can also feel apart of the room.
