Leather Desk Pad Recommendations

[Keyless Works]

I have a new desk with a lacquer top and I need a desk pad so that I don't destroy the desk. I am willing to spend up to $500 for a nice quality one. I want black leather ideally. Does anyone have a recommendation?

Check Levenger and Farhneys.

Thanks for the suggestions. The Levenger ones look good except for the "wings". I couldn't find any at Farhneys.

They have them in the Washington DC store. Maybe not listed on line?

I think the saddleback one is the way to go. The only issue is the rivets. They are flush underneath but I may have to put little pieces of felt on them so they don't scratch.

 

I would love a Swaine Adeney Brigg desk pad but somehow I imagine that it will not be in my budget

Lots of good suggestions here. I've been looking for one for myself.

I have the Saddleback notepad holder for 8X10. It is HERKY, and as you can tell from browsing their site that is their aesthetic, built to last. The notepad even has a rivet in it which might seem like slight overkill, but I know it will out last me and it is stiff enough that I can write an inspection report from the seat of my truck on the pad holder as if I were at a desk. I'd say rivets on a desk pad are definitely overkill, I am surprised they did not forego the rivets for this item.

 

I'd love to have one of their back packs or messenger bags, but beyond my budget.

The Saddleback looks good. Will you post photos and a review here if you get it? Thank you in advance.

Perhaps you might like something from Dacasso? I've never ordered from them myself but they did send me a nice sample of their blotting paper for free. (no affiliation, etc.,etc.)
