Many of the "plantation desks" were simply stepback cupboards rather than actual desks !!

  they did,nt have a lot of space for writing..Mmm....

Now iffen you owned a plantation house that was situated on your plantation somewhere in the southeastern US pre-1900 then you had lots of space in that mansion where you could do your writing ...... and your plantation desk was not one of them.

And in your plantation house you probably had a plantation desk that looked something like this one.

Quote
Description: A refined early American, Southern, solid cherry Plantation desk, finely made with a molded crown, over the two double door cabinets, each fitted with scrolled edge pigeon holes, the desk wide and deep with a single drawer with hand cut dovetail joinery and turned button pulls, all sitting on turned legs with arrow feet. A handsome piece, made with finely grained cherry and yellow pine secondary woods.
Condition: Good-very good for its age, with character wear.
Size: 72 1/2" tall x 48" wide x 31 1/2" deep  $863.00
