Glass desks are a work surface made from glass that features a desktop and legs; sometimes shelves or other features are included as well.

The entire structure can be made from glass, or the desk
might feature glass surfaces for working and storing items, but a metal frame
for strength and stability. These desks often have a very distinctive
appearance, and they are often transparent to a certain degree. Metal framed
desks are more common than full glass desks, and full glass desks tend to be
made from thicker glass because the glass is responsible for supporting more
weight and stability.
The function of glass desks can vary, but it is very often used as a workspace or computer space.

If it is being used as a computer desk, it will sometimes
feature a slide-out keyboard support on which the computer's keyboard can be
placed. This allows for a more comfortable typing position. This slide-out tray
is usually made of glass, though the glass will need to be mounted to a metal
slider on each side of the tray to allow for easy sliding in and out.

The size of the glass desks can vary according to the
purchaser's needs. Some glass desks are quite small and intended for use in a
business office or home office, while others are much larger and are designed
to be placed in a corner of a room to allow for more workspace and storage
space. Upright supports are therefore often necessary beneath the glass
tabletop, and desks that feature larger panes of glass will often feature a
metal frame for support.

The glass can be combined with other materials as well to
improve the aesthetics of the glass desks. Wood, for example, can be used to
construct the frame of the desk, while a pane of glass is used for the desktop
writing surface. Glass can be used as an accent in different parts of the desk,
from the desktop to the drawers or shelves.
