Reclaimed African Hardwood Info

A more delicate design in the Scandinavian tradition, this beautifully functional desk is never-the-less made from one of the hardest and toughest woods in the world. Elegant and original lines make this a very stylish addition suited to display in public areas. The desk is built in a knock down design allowing simple assembly and disassembly for quick moves. Purchase one and you will have a proud investment for life.

This Umwindsi desk is very carefully designed and constructed to ensure a lifetime of use and to suit the superb reclaimed African hardwood material with which it is handmade. The splendid desk top is attached to the base frame using steel brackets that slot into a groove in the frame to allow for the natural movement that always occurs with genuine solid wood products. Even the drawer bases, also made of solid reclaimed African hardwood, slide into a groove that allows them to expand and contract. The drawer boxes are assembled with dovetail joints that are perfect for drawer construction as they will not be pulled apart by years of opening and closing the drawers, as tends to happen with commercially or less professionally constructed drawers that are made of stained softwood with plywood bases nailed together. Even the drawer cabinet is constructed with dovetail joints all along the four sides to give maximum carcass strength. The front panel sits in a frame made by the cabinet sides that allows the panel to move naturally. For this reason you may notice a lighter coloured line on the edge of the panel during dry periods or in heated / air conditioned rooms as the panel shrinks and exposes a slither previously covered by the frame.
