My wife and I are latecomers to the pen "community" but we struck it ever so lucky when we found Anna and Martin at "The Writing Desk". They've been incredibly kind and generous with their time and providing us with tips and information. The products we've bought have been first class, priced competitively, well packaged and delivered promptly. We're glad they're not disappearing altogether as I expect we'll need their services fixing / fine-tuning pens. All the very best to them in their future endeavours.Posted by Paul Jenkin, United Kingdom (5/5) 11-03-2025
Sorry to hear you're closing.Posted by Terry Holmes, UK (5/5) 10-03-2025 Verified Purchase
Just to say a thank you to both Anna and Martin for their wonderful service over the last few years that I have been a customer. I have purchased a few pens from them over this period and their service has always been excellent. I have just purchased my last 2 fountain pens from them before they close their retail side of the business and just concentrate on servicing fountain pens, vintage fountain pens and custom nib work. Many thanks for all your hard work over the years. Best wishes for your future.Posted by Peter Steart, United Kingdom (5/5) 08-03-2025 Verified Purchase
I have been so pleased with my purchases from the writing desk over the past couple of weeks. Everything has arrived promptly, and well packaged. I have bought a couple of pens and have delighted to know that they have been tried and tested before they reached me. I especially love my Pilot Capless. Amazing business so happy with all my dealings with them .Posted by Brenda Dalton, United Kingdom (5/5) 04-03-2025 Verified Purchase
Anna is very friendly and helpful and I am so pleased with my refurbished fountain pen. I am very pleased I found Anna and Martin during my online search. Thank you both. Kindest regards. SuPosted by Susan Rollinson (5/5) 18-02-2025 Verified Purchase
Great service, as ever, from Anna and Martin of the Writing Desk. Bought a couple of pens on a Sunday and they were dispatched on the Monday, carefully packaged and after a free nib tune-up for both pens. Would highly recommend this company.Posted by Karen, Spain (5/5) 15-02-2025

I’ve bought few pens over the last few years and always found the site easy to navigate. The pens are competitively priced but the service has always been excellent. Delivery is always swift and I’ve never been disappointed. Thanks very much. I would thoroughly recommend.Posted by Simon, United Kingdom (5/5) 05-02-2025
