desk
Office work surface
A desk is a piece of furniture with a flat surface for writing, reading, or working.
Desks typically have drawers for storage and are associated with study or office work: She sat at her desk all morning.
By extension, desk refers to a department or station: the front desk, the news desk.
A desk job involves sedentary office work rather than physical labor.
