NEWS – The Gaston Floating Secretary Desk is a perfect addition to a bedroom, small living room, or even a tiny home – anywhere you need a desk workspace but don’t have room for one.  This desk mounts to the wall and folds away when you don’t need to work.  When needed, the front folds out like those old-fashioned secretary desks to reveal a worktop for your laptop or for your paperwork.  Closed or open, the Gaston provides a couple of display shelves and a couple of storage drawers.
The Secretary is made by HARTÔ, a French furniture company, working in collaboration with Industry West.  It’s made of oak veneer MDF and oak veneer plywood with a matte finish. The matte lacquer drawers use leather tongues as drawer pulls. Mounting hardware is included.
The Gaston Floating Secretary Desk measures 23.6″ wide x 12.4″ deep x 28.3″ tall for $700.  If you need a bit more space, the Gaston is also available in a larger size.  The Gaston Floating Secretary Desk Large measures 31.5″ wide x 14.5″ deep x 28.3″ tall, with a 15.7″ deep folding table, for $950.  Both are available directly from Industry West.

Nice – although the hinging isn’t very good for a secretary desk. (The fold-down section should butt flush against the interior shelf, and it’s best if there’s as little hinge blocking the sides as possible.)
Great idea. I might build one, since it would likely save me $600-$800. 🙂
