The classic design of Forsyth's Editor's Desk pays homage to the original horseshoe-shaped copy desk of newspaper and magazine editors from days gone by. Known as a 'rim man', rank-and-file editors would sit around the outside while the editor sat in the center, where they could reach each rim man to distribute stories. This unique, timeless shape make this desk perfect for multiple uses: an editor's desk, a beautiful console or sofa table, a stylish buffet or bar for the dining room. A timeless piece for your home. Skillfully constructed by hand, the striking, quarter sawn oak top and the welded iron base blend together perfectly, creating a harmonious marriage of hardwood and metal.
