Lovely De Atramentis grey document ink arrived very promptly and I'm very pleased with it. Thanks very much for the good service and I'll probably be back soon.Posted by Clive Bennett, UK (5/5) 30-04-2021 Verified Purchase
I’ve bought several items over the years and always received excellent service. My latest purchase: Monteverde Tool Pen (aka a boys toy according to my wife!) was a cracking aluminium fountain pen. A slight problem fitting the ink cartridge, entirely my fault and soon rectified by Martin. Plus a neat Rhodia note book. All in all I’m more than satisfied with The Writing Desk products and service.Posted by David Booth, UK (5/5) 28-04-2021
I have ordered several items from this company before and have always been extremely pleased with the level of service. This time I had a problem with the nib of my new pen, which was resolved very quickly with no fuss. So thank you very much for that and I can wholeheartedly recommend them once again.Posted by Matt, UK (5/5) 28-04-2021
These people really know their stuff. They really have a genuine enthusiasm for fountain pens and they don’t “sell out” with gimmicks. They do what they say they willPosted by Sam Brickwood, Uk (5/5) 28-04-2021 Verified Purchase
A pleasure to do business. My order was dealt with efficiently with good old fashioned courtesy. The CS fountain pen supplied is splendid. Packaging was outstanding, and unwrapping a pleasure. Many thanks.Posted by Huw Edwards, United Kingdom (5/5) 27-04-2021

Very good selection of pens, from rare makers. Edison's pens are unique with a very personal provenance. I had the chance to choose one in the shop, be advised about different models and chose what I liked with confidence. The DHL system they use for international delivery is very fast: Thursday to Saturday for my gift to arrive to the US East Coast. Delighted with the service.

On placing my order with The Writing Desk I received the items the following day. Amazing, seeing that I did not think these spares would be 'off the shelf'. I was very specific about my requirements and the order was fulfilled to my complete satisfaction. From my experience I can highly recommend The Writing Desk based on their professional service, availability and prompt supply of writing instruments and spares. Many thanks, JamesPosted by James Greig, United Kingdom (5/5) 23-04-2021 Verified Purchase

Review of Rohrer & Klingner Dokumentus Black 50ml; bought for writing at work I have enjoyed being able to use my fountain pen to write with at work. However, it is not as free flowing as I'd expected and my pen needs to be flushed with water to get it going in-between uses on consecutive days. One tip that I found seems to work is to leave my pen horizontal and this keeps the ink flow better for longer between uses. I bought the Rohrer & Klingner Cleaning Solution (Reiniger) to prepare my pen but I cannot use it every time I need to refill my pen but reserve judgement on the cleaning solution and believe it will be good for my pen in the long run.Posted by Daniel Anjilivelil, UK (4/5) 23-04-2021 Verified Purchase
