An Old-Fashioned Desk
 ✖  |
If you’d like to have an old-fashioned school desk at home or you know a school that needs new desks, David Oberholtzer can help. When his brother, Titus, a school board member, realized the desks on the market weren’t to his liking, he and David came up with a modern version of the old-style desks. David started building them in his Argos, Ind., welding shop.
“It’s the kind of desks that parochial schools want to use,” Oberholtzer explains. He makes four sizes to accommodate students from grades K-8.
The design includes a powder-coated steel tubing frame with stained and varnished ash wood for the seat and desk. The top of the desk lifts up, with plenty of room for storing books and school supplies.
“They’re sturdy but lightweight,” Oberholtzer says. He sells them directly from his shop for $185 (for any size). Add shipping costs, and he’ll ship them by UPS. Minimal assembly (10 bolts) is required.
