writing desk

Correspondence furniture piece

A writing desk is a piece of furniture designed for writing, typically featuring a flat or sloped surface, drawers for paper and supplies, and often a hinged top or roll-top cover.

Writing desks tend to be smaller and more specialized than general-purpose desks: She sat at her grandmother's antique writing desk to pen thank-you notes.
