Brandyss 48" Burl 2-Drawer Work Desk by TOV Furniture

A 2-drawer work desk from TOV Furniture in 2 colors.

The Brandyss 48" Burl 2-Drawer Work Desk is a 2-drawer work desk made of birch, MDF, plywood and veneer with a burl finish, offered in Natural and White. The burl veneer shows swirling, figured grain. It measures 48.2"W x 20.1"D x 30.4"H, and TOV rates it for 175 lb on the top. At 30.4" the desktop is at the top of the standard desk-height range (28–30") and pairs with a chair seat about 18.5–20.5" high (our guide), with about 25.9" from the floor to the underside of the drawers (TOV leg height). The 48.2" x 20.1" top takes a laptop, or a keyboard with a monitor pushed toward the back (a monitor is most comfortable 20–30" from your eyes, so a monitor arm helps at this depth); at 48.2" wide a monitor or a laptop sits beside a lamp and a notebook (our guide). Per TOV: two soft-close drawers offer ample storage space; fully finished back. Matching pieces: we also carry the TOV Brandyss 26" Burl 2-Drawer Nightstand, Brandyss 54" Burl Console Table, Brandyss 62" Burl 7-Drawer Dresser and Brandyss Burl End Table.

Best for

Best for bedrooms, guest rooms and apartment corners, as a compact work or writing desk. Set the chair so your forearms rest level with the desktop (a seat about 18.5–20.5"), keep the monitor 20–30" from your eyes with the top of the screen at eye level, leave 30–36" behind the desk to roll the chair back, and place it side-on to a window to avoid screen glare (our guide).

Who this is not for

• Standing work: it is a fixed-height 30.4" seated desk.
• Chairs with high arms: arms above about 25.4" will not tuck under the drawers (TOV leg height).
• Outdoor use: this is an indoor desk; keep it inside, away from rain, damp and strong sun.

Why we carry it

We've been curating design-led furniture since 2009, and TOV Furniture earns its place with desks that pair real storage (soft-close, lined drawers) with handmade finishes like burl, cane, rattan, faux plaster and solid wood. We are an authorized TOV seller, and every option listed here carries TOV's own item number and UPC, so you can check exactly what you are buying.

Buy once: durability and care

Built with hand-finished detailing (per TOV) and soft-close drawer glides (per TOV). Our advice (TOV publishes only general care for this item): dust with a soft dry cloth, wipe spills promptly and dry right away, use coasters and a desk pad under the keyboard and mouse, and keep it out of strong direct sun; wood finishes can vary and mellow with light.

Is the Brandyss 48" Burl 2-Drawer Work Desk the right height for my chair?

The desktop sits 30.4" off the floor: at the top of the standard desk-height range (28–30"). Our guide puts the chair seat about 10–12" below the desktop, so look for a seat about 18.5–20.5" high. About 25.9" from the floor to the underside of the drawers (TOV leg height): with a chair seat at 18" that leaves about 7.9" for your thighs (our guide: at least 6", 7" or more is comfortable); chair arms tuck under if they sit below about 25.4".
