The desk features a simple construction that's crafted out of wood and boasts a section to place a chair, while also incorporating an additional stool. The lower-right section of the desk features a [built-in dog house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-hut-bed) that's open on either end to allow dogs of various sizes to easily get in and out throughout the day. The 'Agility Desk' is also pictured with [a see-saw perfect for show dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/architecture-for-dogs-exhibition)-in-training to use throughout the day. The desk is perfect for the increased number of professionals who have acquired a dog in recent years and maintain a hybrid work schedule.
