Sara Desk by Acme Furniture – 10-Drawer Office Desk
The Sara Desk transforms your home office with 10 thoughtfully designed drawers that keep everything from stationery to files within arm’s reach. We built this desk for professionals who need serious storage without sacrificing style.
Crafted from solid oak with dovetail drawer construction, the Sara Desk anchors your workspace with furniture that performs as beautifully as it looks. The rich espresso finish complements traditional and transitional interiors, while the generous 60-inch work surface accommodates dual monitors, spread-out projects, and everything you need for productive days. Our five-drawer pedestals flank each side, with a center drawer perfect for keyboards or notebooks, giving you organizational flexibility that adapts to how you actually work.
Sara Desk specifications
Solid Wood Construction & Finish Details
We source select-grade oak for the Sara Desk because solid hardwood delivers the heft and durability your workspace deserves. Each piece goes through a six-step finishing process that begins with hand-sanding and ends with our signature hand-rubbed topcoat.
The espresso finish brings out the natural oak grain while providing protection against everyday wear. We apply three coats of water-resistant sealer before the final finish layer, so coffee rings and pen marks wipe away without leaving marks. The antique brass hardware arrives pre-attached, with each pull hand-polished to highlight the vintage detailing.
Drawer Configuration & Storage Capacity
How the 10 Drawers Break Down
The Sara Desk gives you two five-drawer pedestals plus one center drawer positioned for keyboard storage or frequently accessed supplies. Each pedestal features one file drawer with full suspension rails that accommodate letter or legal-size hanging folders, plus four standard drawers ranging from 3 to 6 inches deep.
All 10 drawers ride on ball-bearing glides rated for 75 pounds, with soft-close mechanisms that prevent slamming. The file drawers extend completely so you can reach folders at the very back without strain. We designed the drawer interiors with smooth maple bottoms—no rough plywood that snags papers or damages contents.
Assembly & Delivery Information
The Sara Desk ships in two main cartons via freight carrier with threshold delivery included. We pre-attach the drawer glides and hardware to minimize assembly time. You’ll need to attach the pedestal bases to the desktop using the included bolts and Allen wrench—plan for 45 to 60 minutes with a second person to help position the desktop.
Each carton weighs approximately 180 pounds, so we recommend having help available when the delivery arrives. Our packaging uses corner protectors and foam wrap to prevent finish damage in transit. All hardware arrives labeled and sorted in a dedicated parts box with illustrated assembly instructions.

Questions About the Sara Desk
Yes, every drawer on the Sara Desk features ball-bearing glides with integrated soft-close dampers. This includes both the standard drawers and the full-suspension file drawers. The mechanism prevents slamming and extends the life of the drawer boxes by eliminating impact stress.
The soft-close feature also reduces noise in your workspace, which is especially valuable during video calls or when others are nearby. The glides are rated for 50,000 open-close cycles, ensuring smooth operation for years of daily use.
The Sara Desk includes two identical five-drawer pedestals plus one center keyboard drawer. Each pedestal contains one file drawer (12 inches deep), one 6-inch drawer, two 4-inch drawers, and one 3-inch drawer.
The center keyboard drawer measures 2.5 inches deep and is specifically sized for keyboards or slim notebooks. All interior drawer dimensions are approximately 1 inch smaller than the exterior to accommodate the drawer box construction. File drawers accommodate letter or legal-size hanging folders with included rails.
The Sara Desk is currently available exclusively in our espresso finish, which is our most popular color and complements the widest range of office décor. We’ve found that espresso hides minor wear better than lighter finishes while showcasing the natural oak grain beautifully.
If you’re looking for alternative finishes, our Madison Corner Desk comes in honey oak and weathered gray options. We occasionally release limited-edition finishes—sign up for our email list to receive notifications about new finish options as they become available.
The standard drawers are rated for 35 pounds each when fully extended, while the file drawers can handle up to 75 pounds with their reinforced suspension rails. The desktop surface supports up to 200 pounds of evenly distributed weight, which easily accommodates multiple monitors, computers, and office equipment.
We engineer our drawer glides with significant safety margins, so these ratings represent conservative guidelines. The dovetail construction and solid wood drawer boxes provide exceptional strength. Avoid concentrating heavy weight in one corner of any drawer—distribute contents evenly for best performance.
Assembly requires attaching the two pedestal bases to the desktop panel using included bolts and an Allen wrench. Most customers complete assembly in 45 to 60 minutes with two people. The drawers, glides, and hardware arrive pre-installed, which eliminates the most time-consuming assembly steps.
You’ll need a second person primarily to help lift and position the desktop onto the pedestals—each pedestal weighs about 90 pounds and the desktop weighs 100 pounds. The illustrated instructions include step-by-step photos. We also offer white-glove assembly service for an additional fee if you prefer professional installation.
We back the Sara Desk with a five-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. This includes the drawer glides, hardware, joinery, and finish. Normal wear from daily use, damage from improper assembly, or alterations to the furniture are not covered.
The warranty also covers the soft-close mechanisms—if any drawer fails to close smoothly within five years, we’ll send replacement glides at no charge. Register your purchase within 30 days of delivery to activate the full warranty coverage. Our customer service team handles all warranty claims directly.
The desk ships in two main pieces: the desktop and the pedestals. The desktop section measures approximately 62 inches wide in its packaging and will not fit through a standard 30-inch doorway in one piece. You’ll need to remove the packaging in a larger room or garage, then carry the unboxed desktop through doorways.
The desktop itself is 60 inches wide and must be tilted on edge to navigate through doorways—this is why we recommend two-person assembly. The pedestal sections are smaller and pass through standard doorways more easily. Measure any narrow hallways or stairwells along your delivery path before ordering, especially in apartments or older homes with smaller doorways.
