Den Desk

Furniture

Description

What’s called a “Den Desk” in Animal Crossing is actually called an “Executive Desk” IRL. It’s also called a “pedestal desk” because of the appearance of the “pedestals” on the left and the right that consist of drawers that appear to hold up the writing surface on top. It’s a furniture design that became popular in the 19th and 20th centuries and is still popular today in more “classy” and, as the name suggest, “executive” office setups.

If that's too much for your blood, you may be able to find much cheaper options that use "fake wood" (i.e., particleboard or medium density fiberboard like they use at IKEA. The Sauder Palladia Executive Desk is a nice option.

Just as in the game, you can generally find desks that are stained in whatever wood shade you like. Here's a rough translation of the customizations in Animal Crossing and their equivalents IRL:
