Rustic Brown is just what we looking for when we were remodeling our boys’ room. Nice and sturdy all wood desk. Writing surface is a bit rough/rustic so you’ll need to put something underneath you’re paper to write.

I love the look of this desk, except it has a very noticeable stain on the top. I spent a lot of time researching solid wood desks. This desk is truly solid wood, even the drawer sides and bottom are solid wood. It also has a light, natural pine scent which is super important to me because I didn’t want a piece of furniture that smells like off-gassing chemicals. I only gave it 3 stars because I am super disappointed about the black stain on the top of the desk right in the middle in the front. Ugh. I understand that this type of furniture comes with natural inconsistencies because it is a solid wood product. But this stain doesn’t look like a natural feature, it looks like ink got spilled on the wood. I’m hoping to get a replacement desk top from Wayfair or Grain Wood Furniture.

The desk (Montauk) is well made and solid. I like it for that reason BUT the color of the wood I did not like. I ordered walnut and what I received was a dark wood nothing like walnut. They called it "rustic". The picture did not show any marks on the wood nor did the ad say anything about it being "rustic". The picture shows a smooth light finish. I believe they had some desks left over and just got rid of them by replacing the "rustic" look for what was in the ad. It's to hard for me to repackage it and send it back so I'll keep it but I'm not to happy about the whole deal. Its a desk and its solid built that's all I can say about it. Wish I could add a picture but I don't have a camera

Hardwoods

If you are looking to invest in a desk that is more durable and easier to maintain, the hardwood desk is your choice. The hardwood is usually visually characterized by the darker color, which has made them much more expensive than other types of wood. The wood has got a high density making durable and resistance to termites and other wood-boring insects. Hardwoods often have very strong wood density, which is closely connected with the species of tree that yielded it. Hardwoods are also stronger and more durable due to their more condensed and complex structure. This means your desk will last longer. They are also easy to clean, maintain and scratches or dents can be fixed. The wood is also known to produce fine furniture’s that are attractive or eye-catching for anyone entering your house. Desk made from hardwood will not only be good but also the furnish give it a fancy look to admire.

Pine

However, the wood is not quite strong, but it does offer durability. Desk made using this wood are usually elegant and eye catching. The wood takes paint very well, making it friendly for kids. Because pine is a softwood, it's prone to scratches and dent. They also develop a nice, rustic patina from age and use, and it resists shrinking and swelling.

It may not last quite as long as oak, but pine is still a strong, shock-resistant material suitable for furniture, particularly if you like the rustic or country styles While furniture made from pine is still moderately heavy and sturdy, it is lighter than oak. Pine has its own benefits such as wood hardness, color and durability. It depends on what you need as to which is better for you. The wood is also resistance against rot and decay making it a good choice for a good desk or other furniture’s.

Softwoods

Softwood wood species is easier to work with and it’s used to make great tabletops or generally the whole table or desk. The wood can be cut using machines into desirable shapes, hence producing good desk. The lower density of softwood timber means it's weaker and less durable, however there are some 'hard' softwood options with a higher density making great tabletop. The wood being soft can easily be attacked by termites and other woodborers, making your table to be weak. They also come in more reliable sizes and qualities than hardwoods. The wood is also prone to scratches and dent. Softwood is not always suitable for high amounts of use like floors for example and can be easily worn down after periods of time. They have a poor fire resistance, which should be considered carefully before placing table or desk down in different areas where they might be exposed to those sorts of environments.

Walnut

Walnut is a hardwood of medium density that is quite expensive to own as it is a bit rare due to certain natural limitations. It poses certain physical properties such as moderate crushing and bending strengths with low stiffness, making it easier to work on either on hand or using various machine tools. Most people are familiar with the darker walnut wood but there are also lighter browns, gray, purple, and reddish tints. Walnut wood is usually straight-grained but at times you may find one with a few waves and curls that enhances the character of that piece of furniture, a good example being a Walnut desk. The only way to tell whether a Walnut desk is really made out of Walnut is to only purchase one from a reputable furniture maker since many wood species look exactly the same and it can be quite hard to differentiate one from the other.

Medium Wood

If you are looking for a tone that is just simple and in between dark and light tones, the medium tone is the choice for you. Medium-toned wood is in between light and dark-toned wood. The tone is usually warm and brings out a sense of warmth and comfort. The shade and tint are neutral too, meaning it does not shout. It’s a safe choice to select because it looks just good. If you are done with a shouting tone go for the medium-toned wood. They look good with a variety of cabinet colors, furniture, and decorating styles. The wood tone is easy to clean and maintain.
