The Character of Wood

What makes a desktop look and feel superior to other workstations? Have you ever walked into an office where the first thing you notice is the real wood door you enter through? That same office probably has more real wood doors and trim and a front counter made from the same real wood, even the coffee tables and chairs in the waiting area are probably accented with real wood. Everything matches. The look is elegant and luxurious and soothing.

A solid wood desk in dark mahogany or cherry is probably something you have often thought you’d like to have, some day; because you want to make your office look just like a Fortune 500 executive’s office. Some day is always far away, because the price tag on a solid wood desk, credenza and bookcase is more than you can afford right now.

Have you ever noticed that many desk surfaces have a similar feel when all the surface accessories are made of real wood or accented with real wood? This is an affordable route to take. Quality is the key. A beautifully made cherry wood letter tray is a great step in the right direction. When someone enters your office, that letter tray is the first thing they will see.

Consider the impact of a desktop bookshelf with your personal reference books resting on it. Those books are now organized within easy reach. If you have any three matching items on your desk, you are well on your way to changing the look and feel of your office.

Have you ever tried writing on a single sheet of paper with nothing but the desk surface beneath it, not very pleasant with unsightly results? Now try the same task with a desk pad or desk blotter beneath the sheet of paper, what a difference. Imagine how your desk will look with a desk pad in shiny black with real cherry wood accents along the sides, your cherry wood letter tray and desktop bookshelf. Even the top executive of your company will be feeling right at home in your office.

One other item to remember is that since these products look so good, you will be more inclined to want to keep the clutter on your desk to an absolute minimum and this will increase your productivity.
