38" Natural Oak Secretary Desk (ET-1002-24) by Moe's Home Collection
Natural Wicker Secretary Desk with Fall-Front Lid and Metal Knobs | 38 Inch | Secretary Desk
The entire exterior surface is wrapped in woven synthetic wicker -- the case body, the drawer fronts, the fall-front lid, every visible face covered in the same fine tight-woven natural-tone material over the sungkai wood structural frame beneath. The result is a piece of furniture that reads from across the room as a single continuous woven texture rather than a conventional wood case with surface detail. Against a pale wall the warm natural wicker tone reads as a soft, organic presence -- lighter than wood, warmer than paint, with the fine woven grid visible at close range as a composed surface pattern running over every face of the case. The small metal knobs at the drawers are the only hardware contrast -- round, compact, a deliberate minimal detail against the woven surface.
The secretary form organizes vertically. The fall-front lid at the upper portion drops open to reveal the writing surface -- the desk area contained within the case and hidden behind the wicker face when closed. Below the fall-front, two drawers provide closed storage behind the woven drawer fronts. The full form at 38 wide and 42 high presents itself against a wall as a warm, textured vertical -- compact enough for a bedroom or home office corner, tall enough to register as the room's considered furniture decision rather than a functional placeholder. In morning light the wicker surface catches the directional angle as a fine grid of light and shadow across every face. In warm lamplight the natural tone deepens toward a richer honey-reed, the woven texture settling into the room's warmth.
The synthetic wicker is durable and consistent in tone over time -- it will not develop the irregular darkening that natural rattan can accumulate in humid conditions. The fall-front writing surface should be used at a gentle angle; avoid heavy overloading when the lid is open. At 18 inches deep the footprint is shallow enough for most wall positions without protruding significantly into the room.

Moe's Home Collection:Forty Years of Furniture With a Point of View
Some brands earn trust loudly. Moe's has never needed to. The evidence shows up in rooms, season after season, in pieces that end up feeling more considered than their owners quite anticipated. More grounded. More alive.
That doesn't happen by accident. It happens because someone decided, a long time ago, that material and craft were worth the extra conversation, and never really stopped having it.
A Design House, Not a Furniture Factory
The Pieces Feel Found - Not Simply Bought
The Origin
A Family That BuiltSomething From Nothing
Moe Samieian Sr. arrived in Canada with an engineering degree and almost nowhere to use it. So he sold rugs at road shows, worked on commission, and learned the retail floor through years of direct customer contact.
In 1986 he opened his first store in Vancouver. Walking the trade shows, he kept noticing the same thing: most furniture looked identical. So he started hunting for pieces with something to say. Antiques. Flea-market finds. Objects with texture and history. More stores followed, and in 1999 he moved decisively into wholesale.
His children Sara and Moe Jr. carried that instinct forward. Not what merely sells. What resonates. That distinction still drives every collection.
The materials earn their place. Wood warms the edges. Stone steadies the eye. Steel adds tension. Glass lets the composition breathe. A hand-worked surface keeps a modern room from feeling too resolved.
The goal was never perfection. It was presence.
Moe's Is Built for PeopleWho Notice the Difference
The Craft
Material First - Trend Second
Every collection is designed in-house, then built through a manufacturing network developed over decades. Vietnam, India, Italy, Poland, Canada, the USA. Not the lowest-cost option in any of those places. Long-term makers who've been held to the same standards long enough that the standards stopped needing to be explained.
The construction is what you'd expect from that kind of relationship. Solid hardwood frames. High-density foam. Hardware that doesn't announce itself by failing early. These are not selling points so much as baseline expectations that a lot of furniture quietly fails to meet.
The materials go further than that. Acacia grain that no engineered surface comes close to replicating. Stone that grounds a room both visually and physically, which are different things and both matter. Mixed metals chosen for tension rather than coordination. FSC-certified wood and responsible sourcing throughout, though the more honest argument for it shows up over time, in how the pieces age rather than what the spec sheet says.
- Moe's does not source furniture. It curates it.
