We’ve picked up plenty of fresh details about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex via Netflix’s six-part limited series Harry & Meghan—like the fact that Beyoncé has Meghan Markle’s phone number, and that Prince Harry is a surprisingly capable wildlife photographer. We also got a clearer sense of how they live at home with their two kids, Archie and Lilibet, especially their latest house in Montecito, California. Though the show reveals little of the interior, you might recall that we got a peek inside Markle’s office not too long ago.
To mark her 40th birthday last year, she handed out a gift—or two, depending on how you look at it. The duchess not only dropped a video announcing her new mentorship program, 40×40, but did so from her WFH space, offering a glimpse of where she gets it all done.
“I’m asking 40 friends to donate 40 minutes of their time to help mentor a woman reentering the workforce,” Markle tells her pal Melissa McCarthy over Zoom. She stacks her books to prop up her laptop (stars—they’re just like us!) on a dining table-turned-desk with major French farmhouse vibes. We’ll spare you the Google deep-dive—it appears to be the Bander dining table from Pottery Barn.
Yes, it sits on the pricey side at $1,699, but you’re getting solid value for the spend: The pine piece stretches an impressive 83 inches long (Markle set hers up as a workspace for two, with room to spare for files and a carafe of water). Curvy baluster legs elevate the rustic wood finish, so it meshes easily with both the elegant wainscoting and the California-cool jute rug in her space.
If the table isn’t quite right for your space, don’t worry: We tracked down a few more look-alikes.
Molinaro 63'' Pine Solid Wood Dining Table
Francis Dining Table, Arhaus ($2,699)
Carlisle Farmhouse Dining Table, The Bella Cottage ($2,998)
Bordeaux Dining Table, Classic Home ($1,735)
For WFH-ers whose only option is taking meetings from the dining room, we can picture no better alternative. Come sunset, swap the laptop for a cocktail and a couple of friends (the table seats up to six). Work who?
