What is a "roll-top desk"?
A roll-top desk is a type of desk with a retractable, curved cover that rolls up and down to hide or reveal the work surface. The cover is made of slats of wood that are designed to roll smoothly, providing privacy and protection for the items on the desk when not in use. Roll-top desks often feature multiple compartments, drawers, and small spaces for organizing office supplies, papers, and other essentials. These desks are known for their distinctive, vintage look and are often made from wood. They are popular in home offices or spaces where both function and aesthetics are important.
