Antique Trestle Tables as Desks

For character-filled home offices, an antique table is the perfect solution for a desk! Many trestle tables of the past receive extra reinforcement from a horizontal support, as shown below. [from Griffiths Construction Inc.]

However, some people prefer to have the support at foot level so there’s ample room for legs under the desk. In the next image, we see an antique table in an eclectic home office space from Pacific Peninsula Group:

Some trestle tables forgo the extra support altogether and present an “empty” middle that allows for maximum room and comfort, especially when it comes to smaller desks. In the next image, we see how French antique bases combine with a custom limestone top from a local slab contractor to create the perfect decadent trestle desk.
