Our Emerson desk's clean lines and seamless woodworking let the intriguing, one-of-a-kind markings of burl wood be the star. Harvested from naturally occuring growths on poplar trees, mappa burl wood is peppered with tight clusters that give it a decorative appearance. Inspired by a vintage European style, the polished design flows columnar legs into the top and flawlessly integrates three drawers into the apron.
