Choosing a desktop is an important decision, and we understand that firsthand experience provides the best preview, especially when it comes to beautiful, natural solid wood. Select up to four of your favorite desktop choices to have delivered to your home or office. It's a convenient way to touch and feel your desktop choice. Or simply explore the desktop images, then order the desk. We are confident you'll love the quality and thickness of the wood!
Rest assured that all UPLIFT desktops are of the highest quality, the product of thousands of hours of research, design, and quality testing. Order your samples today, or visit one of our showrooms to see all of our desktop styles and options in person.
The 7" x 7" samples are extra large to demonstrate how each custom solid wood desktop will appear (including grain patterns, thick edge profiles, joinery, and finish) and how the desktop colors and textures will blend with decor. All solid wood desktops are produced by mother nature and will therefore be one of a kind with slight variations in color and grain.
All samples are cut to the actual thickness of the desktop. With physical samples, you can compare not just the appearance but the heft and feel of the various desktop wood species.
For every solid wood desktop sold, UPLIFT Desk plants five trees in U.S. National Forests through our partnership with the National Forest Foundation.

FAQ
If the air in your area is especially dry, your wood desktop could be at increased risk of cracking and splitting. Wood contracts in very dry environments, leaving it vulnerable to cracking and warping. If you live in a very dry environment (Las Vegas, Denver, Salt Lake City, etc) and your desktop does crack, we will send you a repair kit to fill the affected areas because sending you the same desktop into your dry environment can result in the same cracking. See the solid wood desktop repair kit instructions (pdf).
If you live in a very dry area and potentially repairing your wood desktop isn't something you're comfortable with, we recommend that you take a look at our Bamboo, Eco, or Laminate desktops.
Please contact us if you have additional questions.
