		Any list of desk forms and types encountered in the modern office or home, and in antique stores is incomplete and contradictory given the variations in the naming of desks.
		The division between "desk form" and "desk type" presented is arbitrary, since there is no consensus as how to differentiate function, form, type and style in these matters.
		A form here is something rather specific, while a type can be applied to any given form or all of them.
