Innovative in Design, Resourceful in Materials, and Fun to Assemble Eco-Friendly Furniture

Abundant Earth now offers home and office furniture that is easy and fun to put together and uses FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified sustainably grown and milled Oak and Ash Veneer. These modular, reversible designs create numerous possibilities for media and office arrangements and can be reconfigured numerous times without affecting the integrity of the unit. In a short amount of time, you can build an entire system made with no tools, no screws or bolts, and no hard labor. The pieces are created with a tab/slot design which interlocks and secures each piece in place, so the end result is a strong, sturdy and fabulous looking furnishing.

This furniture is made using the finest sustainably harvested Oak and Ash plywood veneer, which is processed in FSC certified mills (the most stringent and widely accepted environmental certification available today), over an MDF core and finished with a water-based no-VOC lacquer finish. The Oak Veneer comes in a wheat finish and the Ash Veneer in an espresso finish. (pictured left).

Features of the Straight Desk:  Straight Desks come in a number of sizes and can grow with your changing lifestyle by adding Peninsulas, Extensions or Bridges to either side as Desk Extenders.  Another nice feature of these desks is the recessed shelving beneath the work surface which provides ample knee-space.  There are optional shelves available such as the Accessory Shelf and Side Shelf in addition to Hutches and File Carts made to fit these desks.


Desk Extenders:  Add onto your desk, connect two desks or mix and match for an unlimited number of configurations with these Desk Extenders:

The Peninsula (pictured left) acts as end cap for the desk and can also be used in combination with the desk Extension. They provide that extra bit of deep desk space that allows you to expand your desktop and storage space underneath. The Peninsula comes with an attachment piece to lock it to an adjacent desk to form a single, solid unit. The Peninsula is 31"W x 30"D x 32" H and comes with one 24"W x 11"D shelf. The Peninsula can hold up to three shelves either 24"W x 11"D or 24"W x 17"D. 

The Extension (pictured right) is similar to a Peninsula, but its outer edge allows additional components to be added to make your workspace even larger. The Extension includes an attachment piece to lock it to an adjacent desk to form a single, solid unit. The Extension is 30"W x 27"D x 32" H and comes with one 24"W x 11"D shelf.  The Extension can hold up to three shelves either 24"W x 11"D or 24"W x 17"D.

The Bridge (pictured left) is designed to pull two desks together to create larger workspaces for two or more users.  The Bridge includes two attachment pieces to lock it to adjacent desks to form a single, solid unit. The Bridge is 29"W x 27"D x 32"H and comes with one 24"W x 11"D shelf. Bridges can hold up to three shelves either 24"W x 11"D or 24"W x 17"D.

Extra Shelves and Accessories:  You can order extra shelves to fit under your desk as well as for any of the Desk Extenders.  There are also two different accessory shelves available that add to the usefulness of your desk.  The 29" Accessory Shelf*  (shown right) fits nicely on the top rail of your desk providing extra storage space for various accessories, CDs, books, etc.  The dimensions are approximately 29"W x 8"D x 10"H.

The 17" Side-Mount Accessory Shelf (shown left) is a great addition for either side of your desk for anything from books, printers or even a tower CPU. The Side-Mount Shelf installs in one of the available shelf slots on the outside of desks, peninsulas, extensions or bridges. This Side shelf is approximately 17"L x 10"D x 4H.  Just click on the "Add to Cart" button (below) for the item you are ordering and choose the number of shelves or accessories that you would like for each item. 

*Please Note:  The 29" Accessory Shelf only fits on units that are 24" or wider. The Side-Mount shelf will only work on the outside of a configuration (not between Desk Extenders).

36" or 43" Desk Hutch: These Desk Hutches are the ideal addition to any straight desk. The hutches easily attach to any straight desk, in any configuration, providing convenient storage so your desktop work space can stay organized! The hutches are reversible in design, so the opening for a notebook computer or desktop monitor can be situated to match the knee space and shelving beneath the desk. The wide lower (or side shelves - only on the 43" Hutch) can be placed and configured to accommodate just about any combination of computers, monitors, peripherals, or even books and binders. The shelves and vertical panels also have cable pass-throughs for clutter-free wiring.

Approximate Dimensions for the Hutches:

• 36"W x 9" Deep x 25"H

• 43"W x 13"Deep x 25"H
  

Assembly: Did somebody say FUN to Assemble?  Yes!  There are no tools or hardware needed for the assembly of this sturdy furniture.  The tab/slot design works like puzzle pieces, allowing each piece to fit together easily and lock into one another for further strength.  The easy-to-follow instructions that come with each design will take you step by step through a fun, fast and easy assembly.

FSC Plywood and MDF Furniture Facts

• Producing our FSC plywood and MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard) furniture yields many times more usable wood from a log versus solid lumber.
• Because it is so durable, our furniture has greater potential to outlast solid wood furniture.
• The energy utilized in converting wood from a raw material to a finished product is minuscule when compared to any other industrial material. Using wood saves energy!
   

The plywood veneer used in this furniture is sourced from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified mills. The FSC's mandate is to protect the world’s forests through globally recognized principles of responsible forest stewardship. The FSC is also unique in the way in which it protects the rights of aboriginal peoples to utilize the forest for their culture, livelihood and spirituality.
