A partners desk is a large desk with drawers and cupboards on both sides of the pedestal so that two people could use the desk sitting on either side. The term partners desk is actually thought to have come from the fact that these desks were popular in the offices of lawyers – where partners in the firm could sit facing each other. Partners desks are a great business desk perfect for executive offices.
