What is a desk with drawers called?
1 Answer
What a desk with drawers is called depends on its design. One that consists of a tabletop supported by a base with drawers on both sides is a pedestal desk. Pieces that combine lower drawers with overhead cabinets and shelves is a credenza desk. You'll find a large selection of antique and vintage desks on 1stDibs.
