Sprague & Carleton Solid Rock Maple Kneehole Desk

Annihilate the landfill, one focused work sprint at a time.

This vintage Sprague & Carleton kneehole desk brings real‑wood weight to small‑space offices: solid rock maple construction with twin drawer stacks and a center pencil drawer that turns any corner of a Cambridge bedroom or living room into a proper workstation. Stamped “Solid Rock Maple – Sprague & Carleton – Keene, New Hampshire” inside the drawer, it has that warm honey finish and classic colonial hardware the company was known for in its early‑American maple pieces. The top shows light scratches and a few rubs from decades of actual use, but the surface is still smooth, sturdy, and perfectly laptop‑worthy.

The D’Beetle Difference

Compact, Real‑Desk Proportions: Top is about 47 in wide and 21–22 in deep, with a writing height around 30 in, so it fits along a wall without dominating the room but still feels like a real desk, not a tiny console table.

Serious Storage: Twin pedestal bases offer a mix of shallow and deep drawers for files, notebooks, and gear, plus a center pencil drawer for cords, pens, and chargers—ideal for students, remote workers, or crafters who want everything within arm’s reach.

Solid Rock Maple Build: Made by Sprague & Carleton, a New Hampshire maker celebrated for dense hard‑rock maple and heirloom‑grade construction, this is the kind of piece you refinish someday, not replace.
