Martin spent a long time with me today patiently letting me test out writing with pens with fine nibs. I chose a Sailor pen with a lovely flexible very fine gold nib. He provides an impeccable sympathetic service of a very high professional standard. I found my visit a great pleasure.Posted by John Burman, United Kingdom (5/5) 09-09-2022
I have been very impressed with the Writing Desk - this was my second order over two years. This order included a Pelikan nib unit and ink. The nib unit was tuned and tested before shipping, which meant it wrote fantastically upon arrival. The ink bottles were soundly packaged and arrived unharmed. The choice of inks and the value has always been great. I would certainly order from these folks again.Posted by Phil F, United States (5/5) 09-09-2022

Purchased two bottles of ink at a good price and free next day delivery. That’s what I call great customer service. Thank you.Posted by Ken Lake, U.K. (5/5) 07-09-2022
I have recently retired and was given a gift voucher for The Writing Desk, as I wanted to buy a fountain pen. My last pen was when I was at school, so a good few years ago. Martin was extremely helpful, allowing me to. Take my time choosing a pen. He answered my questions but let me choose according to the pen I liked most, no high pressure sales, trying to make me buy the most expensive pen for my budget. In the end I purchased 2 pens, a Esterbrook and a Visconti, plus 3 bottles of different coloured inks. I am so looking forward to getting to know these pens and I would recommend The Writing Desk unreservedly. Thank you Martin (and Anna) I am sure I will be a returning customer.Posted by Dena Worlding, UK (5/5) 26-08-2022
I have ordered inks and pens from The Writing Desk multiple times from all over the world and they never let me down. They were especially a saviour during Covid when I couldn't travel, and now I return to them again and again. Their stock is great, they package the items well and ship promptly. It's always a pleasure buying from here.Posted by N Press, Bangladesh (5/5) 23-08-2022 Verified Purchase
Always a pleasure to do business with The Writing Desk, and Martin is the most helpful, patient and courteous person you could deal with. My latest purchase, a Rohrer and Klingner glass dip pen, arrived very fast and I can't wait to try it out.Posted by David Kuhn, UK (5/5) 13-08-2022
Really wide range, and my cheap pen is great quality.Posted by Peter Armitage, UK (5/5) 04-08-2022
Ordered paper, ink and a fountain pen. It will take some time to get to know the pen and that will get its own review, eventually. What I can say is that the package came quickly, securely sealed on the outside and carefully wrapped and padded on the inside to protect the contents. This customer service rates five stars.Posted by Peter Cull, UK (5/5) 03-08-2022 Verified Purchase
