Dakota Jackson's Maverick

Maybe it's the writer in me or maybe it's just Dakota Jackson's incomparable design sense, but the draw to the sleek and stunning Maverick Writing Table (shown above) is unmistakable. Measuring 90"w x 40"d x 30"h, the gorgeous desk is comprised of walnut and English sycamore veneers, flawless leather and polished stainless steel truss work. Designed with the corporate executive in mind, this desk provides a stamp of luxury in any office setting.

For those who need a little more room for storage, there is also a Maverick CEO Desk (shown above). With dimensions equivalent to those of the writing table, this desk also contains six drawers with stainless steel pedestal legs and accents.

Dining on the edge

There is nothing like a gathering with family and friends, sitting down to a holiday meal that has been lovingly prepared. It is a scene that is familiar and comforting to all of us, so why not shake things up with something a bit avant-garde?
