Recently I reviewed a desk that embodied most, if not all, the features I love in a desk. It was large, inviting, with three sections, which had my imagination running wild with all the work I could accomplish stepping into my own command central. I could hardly contain my excitement about that desk as I wrote about it. But it occurred to me that something might be missing and so I went on a quest. Beautiful as the Mayline Mira U-Shaped 3-Drawer Pedestal Desk is, surely, I thought, all this beauty could surely be made available in a smaller and more affordable version. And then I found the Mayline Mira 72” Desk Shell with Bow Front and felt all was right with the world!
Why I Love This Desk…
More compact and just as beautiful, the Mira 72-inch took the part of the desk that made the biggest statement, the bow front, and separated it from the bridge and credenza.
Mayline Mira 72 inch Desk Shell with Bow Front
Indeed not everybody, executives included, needs that much desk to be functional. For the highly productive minimalist living inside you, this desk offers you all the flair without the fluff.
Spanning 72 inches across, there is ample room for your computer, an elegant desk lamp, an inbox and a few family photos. Although you can fit more on this desk, why would you want to? As you well know, not all executives have to have a desk look busy to be busy. Made with AA grade North American veneers, with a medium cherry finish, your desk is not only sturdy but the color makes it ooze with elegance and formality. What might be a surprise is that it also easy to assemble, so in no time you can enjoy how you look and feel behind it.
Who This Desk Will Appeal To…
Given its size, I think this desk will appeal to a broader base than does its larger, more formidable cousin. Although it would look smashing in the office of an executive, it will also work well in a home office. I can easily see it in the office of a mid-level manager as well.
Who This Desk Won’t Appeal To…
It might be a little ‘much’ for a college student. I am not sure your son or daughter can quite appreciate a desk this grown up.
My Last Words on the Topic…
It should come as no surprise, given that I even essentially reviewed this desk twice, this time in a smaller version, that I love this desk. This is well made, functional and understated in its beauty. I believe it would appeal to a broad base of users and that’s part of what makes it a winner for me.
About the only thing I think this desk could benefit from are filing cabinets, given that not every desk seeker is paperless. The lovely thing about Mayline, among their many attributes, is that they offer several storage options to go with each of their desks. The Mayline Mira 28” 3-Drawer is ideal if all you need is one drawer for files and two for supplies and personal effects.
