Solid wood is traditionally used for desks. It is durable, and the wood grain adds texture to your room to enhance your décor. The finish you choose on your armoire will determine how well the piece blends with the style of your home.
Hardwoods like oak and walnut are dense but durable. A solid wood desk armoire in deep mahogany makes a good heirloom piece for home offices and coordinates seamlessly with traditional-style homes.
Lighter wood finishes such as pine or oak have a clean, fresh appearance that coordinates perfectly with a farmhouse or Scandi style home office.
Manufactured wood (MDF) offers a broader range of styles and colors to match the décor of your home. High-quality manufactured wood can last for decades and is almost indistinguishable from solid wood.
For a sophisticated mid-century modern look, choose an MDF drop-down armoire with tapered legs in a rich maple finish. Or opt for a pristine white armoire for a nautical style room.
