Description

This Product Ships Free. As seen in the pages of The New Yorker. For a thousand years writers, artists, and architects have produced their works at inclined surfaces. Today our tools have changed but human physiology has not—we still are more comfortable and productive employing this ancient advantage. As one customer wrote about our Editor’s Desk, “My neck thanks you!” 

Enjoy the Editor’s Desk’s wide and deep writing surface whether taking notes on paper or typing on a keyboard—or both at the same time. Many customers have told us their handwriting improves. The upper gallery elevates your tablet or phone for comfortable teleconferencing or watching a video, leaving your writing surface open for taking notes. Once you experience the comfort and productivity of a Levenger Editor’s Desk, you may never want to settle for a flat desk again. (But if you do need to move your Editor’s Desk, at less than 7 lbs, it’s easy to lift it off and store it on its side, compactly, beside your desk.)

Included is our Cushy Transparent Desk Pad to protect your desk surface and provide a comfortable no-slip, anti-glare writing surface that can hold reminder notes and photos underneath.

Reviews

Useful but disappointing quality

"For functionality the editor's desk is nice, but I own an older version of this and it is better on many levels. It's bigger and is both collapsible (made with hinges) and adjustable (height). It was also already put together. While this version still seems useful, Levenger seems to have cheaped out on production costs by manufacturing it in pieces and having the buyer put it together but not ensuring we have all the pieces we need. One of the other circular pieces that keeps the pieces together keeps falling out despite rescrewing tightly. Of course the price has only increased. Levenger, you're not IKEA, disappointed in the quality."

"I love it! It’s beautiful, and I’ve been careful to remove everything when I’m not using it. That’s because the color darkens in the first 2 weeks and I want that to happen evenly. I love how it has the notch in the back where I put my calendar, and in the open space under it, I’ve put a catch box for paper clips and pens and such. The only one who doesn’t like it is my cat because it takes up space she used to lie on, but she’s figured out new places."

Great addition

"Exactly what I wanted. I can place my iPad with text on the upper shelf and a notebook below to take notes. Or use to read a large art book or atlas. Very solid construction and easy to assemble."

— Ronald S. (5/5)

Poor Product - Editors Desk

"Very poor quality and almost nonexistent directions for putting it together. If the other products are like this I will not be order any thing else in the furniture department. Not what I had expected for $200. But it out of the box and sort of put together I was just about ready to throw all the pieces in the box and ship it back. Does not seem very sturdy at all. Very disappointed."

Need Instructions

"It came disassembled and there is one sheet that identifies parts and contains 3 general images. I need a pdf of assembly instructions. Thank you"

Not assembled but happy I have it!!

"I have not opened and assembled my editor’s desk, but I am certain I will love it. I’ll come back and review it when I do. I’ve wanted it for a long time so I can paint or draw while I look at photos on my iPad. It is difficult to find something like this, and I love that there is a plastic protector."

— Gale F. (5/5)

"The smallest portion of wood (out of 3) that points downwards not the portion that points upwards with the oblong hole is hard to secure due to awkward design regardless IF you use a phillips manual screwdriver or powered drill. Waiting to give to a friend’s husband to hopefully be able to fully screw in the phillips screws for needed stability"

— Anna (3/5)

Functional with some quality issues

"Functional design. There aren’t a lot of other options out there right now that combine a sloped surface with a book stand. The editor’s desk has a few minor quality issues. The wood surface arrived with small nicks. The clear mat was not cut square. Some of the pre-drilled screw holes were loose (I suspect some kind of mdf or other engineered wood beneath the veneer. A bit of sawdust and glue squirted in the pre-drilled holes fixed the looseness). Minor issues, but not up to my expectations of Levenger or reflective of the item’s price."

— Wesley M. (4/5)

Great but have a few suggestions

"Works quite well for my needs. Would have given it a 5 star had the plastic writing pad fit perfectly and did not move around on the wooden surface. What I would love to see in an update are 1) the ability to not have a roll stop; and 2) an adjustable writing angle."

— Hillel K. (4/5)

An Old Friend

"This is my third! I have used these Editor's desks for over a decade. . More than just for books or tablets and phones. When I purchased my first, tablets didn't exist. They last forever, pass them down to your adult children. You will love the touch of non slip, see through pad. Perfect for home and office!"

— Craig C. (5/5)
