The name "credenza" is Italian for "credence" or "confidence", passed on from the medieval era. They were originally used by the nobility to store meals in plain sight away from the main table, while servants tested the food for poison. NBF would rather you use them for office supplies, or maybe a nice accent piece.
What Is a Credenza Desk?
How is it different from a normal desk?
Credenza desks are long and shallow compared to standard desks and are often used as a secondary surface to the side of your main desk. Credenza desks can be a bit too shallow to fit a full desktop computer setup, depending on the size of the monitor stand and keyboard. As a standalone desk, they're generally better suited to laptop use.
