The desk is like a normal writing table but the small drawers above the surface form a U shape around the user instead of being merely set up in front of him as is usual in a typical bureau a gradin. Unlike other types of bureau a gradin the Carlton House desk usually offers no pigeonholes. Drawings of this type of desk were presented by Hepplewhite in his famous design book the Cabinet Maker And Upholsterers Guide , and by Thomas Sheraton in his own famous book of designs (The Cabinet Maker and Upholsterer's Drawing Book), thus ensuring its popularity.
