641 Gibbons St., Los Angeles, CA 90031

Boom, it’s The Ruthie; what else can be said? If you’re looking for Los Angeles’ ultimate rustic computer desk with just a touch of modern design, this is your stop. Sometimes you hear this described as a waterfall desk; fine by us! We don’t remember exactly which words Ruthie used when she came to talk to us about this design, but it definitely has strong Northern, Winter cabin vibes. Sounds good, thanks for the inspiration, Ruthie!

Instead of discussing the surface or the base, let’s just talk about the desk as a whole because that’s really the discussion to have. From surface to legs, this handmade desk is in a world of Douglas fir. 1.5 inches thick all the way around, this reclaimed, old-growth wood shines with natural beauty. We think this piece looks best with natural, textured grain characteristics and the natural patina coloration that indicates the age of the wood. Naturally, if you disagree, we can make this desk with whichever texture and color combo suits your home best. 

The one, non-wooden design feature on this desk is the single cross brace made of 2 inch by 1 inch black rectangular steel tube. Besides providing added structure and stability, the brace serves as an awesome footrest. As an added bonus, you can position the bar in two whole locations: here or there.

our urban hardwoods
sycamore, elm & ash

These sustainable planks come from non-farmed trees that recently fell in our metropolitan environment. Local urban-lumber milling companies such as Angel City Lumber and Street Tree Revival will retrieve them and turn them into beautiful dimensional lumber, rather than allowing them to be sent to landfills. We've fostered excellent relationships with these organizations (noble, good-looking heroes whom we love dearly), so they'll call us when the newest batches are about to be dried and milled.

Our Reclaimed Wood
Old-growth Doug fir

We respect the use of all reclaimed wood, but at Parkman we only use salvaged lumber from Los Angeles County structures that were built about 100 years ago or more. This old-growth wood is derived from ancient trees that, thankfully, are no longer being deforested. We prefer this sustainable lumber due to its natural durability and beauty. Conversely, most furniture wood these days comes from farms that cut their crop young, leaving the lumber comparatively soft and bland. These farms also use massive amounts of energy and water, unnecessarily damaging the global environment.

in-house fabrication

& fair wages

We perform all of our woodwork and metalwork in our Los Angeles workshop so that we can personally oversee every aspect of your build. Most shops you'll come across simply design and market products, but don't actually build any furniture, preferring to outsource the physical work to cheaper white-label shops. We lean into the entire process, from inception to inspection, and pay fair wages with benefits to our expert craftspeople.

I am lucky to have found them. My partner and I went to check out the workshop and were met with great customer service, which persisted throughout the process.

For a similar cost to a mid-tier retailer you can get a fully custom piece made just for you, with reclaimed wood you can feel great about. Super happy with it!
