Hooker furniture is known for exceptionally well-finished furniture, and the stunning Grand Palais executive desk in dark walnut is no exception. This impressive and heavy desk (it's 461 pounds!) is a statement piece in any office, and we were impressed by the "feel" of this piece in addition to how its dark walnut finish looks. Solid wood veneers over durable wood products make this desk beautiful, rock-solid, and built to last (the core manufactured wood products are designed for less expansion and contraction so that your piece looks as good as the day it arrives in your home or office for the rest of your life). Walnut, Mappa Burl, Ebony, and Cherry veneers paired with Hooker's proprietary resin construction makes the Grand Palais executive desk a truly one-of-a-kind addition to any executive office. The desk features a center drawer with drop front to allow access to a keyboard (but to conceal it when not in use), four utility drawers with slots and removable dividers in each drawer, a writing slide and pencil tray, locking file drawers, and grooved marquetry on the desk top to provide a smooth center writing surface that welcomes you to your executive desk each day.

If you are looking for an impressive executive desk with a leather top, the Telluride from Hooker Furniture merits serious consideration. The black paint finish is a different look for this style of desk, but we liked it as the heavy reddish brown of wood undertones shows, as if rubbed throguh the paint. Nail head trim and carved leather panels complement the exquisitely selected cherry veneers and like most high-end Hooker Furniture, this desk is constructed of a high-end MDF core under hardwood solids and top-quality veneers to provide a solid, stable piece of furniture which won't expand and contract with changes in temperature and humidity. This desk features a center drawer with drop front so you can use your keyboard comfortably without leaving it on display full-time. There are seven drawers in this desk, all on steel ball bearing drawer slides, and two pullout writing slides (one on each side) are included as well. The drawers come with wooden dividers and pencil trays, and the pedestal base includes levelers to accomodate for uneven floors in your office. We love the look of this desk, which is wider than many other desks in this category - making it an attractive option for large offices or big executives who require more space to work comfortably. Manufactured By Hooker Furniture | Model Number 370-10-363 Desk Specifications Height: 30" | Width: 76.5" | Depth: 36" | Weight: 334 Pounds

This Cherry Creek model is no exception. It's heavy at 330 pounds, and commands your attention when you walk into the room.

I'm a big fan of the furniture from Coaster Home Furnishings.

Sturdy hardwoods and rich, expensive-lookin veneers offer this executive desk a warm and impressive aesthetic in a classic style. When clients, colleagues, or friends see this desk in your office they will immediately know that you have great taste. The bronze-finished hardware is a nice accent to the piece, which is constructed of hardwoods, and rock-solid MDF under beautifully finished veneers to minimize seasonal expansion and contraction. The drawers are well-sized and functional, and the desk's top has an excellent feel. It's the sort of piece you'll be eager to work at each day.

This is our only executive desk by Zuri Furniture, but their Ford Modern Executive Desk is an excellent representation of the striking designs offered by this manufacturer. If you have a modern office, or are looking for an exceptionally wide desk for your manager's suite, consider this model, which comes in a striking dark wood finish. Most Zuri desks are larger than average, and we love that this desk comes with a keyboard drawer (so your desk-top doesn't look cluttered) and cable drops for a clean look if you plan to have multiple monitors or computer peripherals. The floating desktop on this executive desk from Zuri is truly unique, and different from everything else on our list. We loved this look for a modern or contemporary office space. This executive desk is finished with premium wood veneers and are constructed with the cam lock system, which allows for quick assembly with no hardware visible at the end of the process. At 264 pounds this desk is heavy, but not as heavy as some of the other high-end desks on this list. If you're looking for a modern executive desk for your C-suite or home office, consider this Ford model from Zuri - I think you'll like it a lot.

The shape, color, and stature of this oval-shaped executive desk is sure to impress anyone who walks into your office. Part of the Nicolas collection by Coaster, the desk offers a two-tone espression and brown-red finish and intricate carvings around the desk-top draw the eye and communicate your fine taste to colleagues and clients. Display books, your favorite scotch, or decorative accents in the front-facing storage shelves, and the felt-lined shelves and drawers look and feel expensive, protecting your valuable items. A bold centerpiece, this executive desk from Coaster (a favorite manufacturer of mine, I have a bookcase in my home office from them) is a unique, functional, and commanding addition to any home office or executive/manager's suite. I think you'll love the carvings on this desk which, coupled with the unique shape, make it stand out as truly one-of-a-kind. A great option if you're looking for an executive desk with a curved base.
