此案造型，簡潔典雅，用途極廣。宜置文士室中，也為貴冑所珍，但見此件，以黃花梨造，用材厚重，工藝細膩，昔時用者必非富則貴。
觀明朝插畫，可見其用途多樣，包括供桌、♎畫案及小几等，輕巧簡約，可隨意搬動至屋中各隅。其比例有規可循，但可依不同用途製作各式尺寸。論尺寸，此案甚寬，足供文士作畫寫字。
平頭案屬典型式樣，結構線條一目了然，源自建築，舊稱一字桌式，因桌形如「一」字而得名。這類採用夾頭榫之榫卯結構、腿間造有雙棖者，早至宋時已有。《村童鬧學圖》，斷代為宋，畫中繪兩案，與此相類，圖見王世襄，〈Development of Furnit🦋ure Design and Construction from the Song to the Ming〉，《Chinese Furniture. Selected Articles from Orientations 1984-1999》，香港，1999年，頁55，圖版35。
