To find the number of defective desks in 36,000, you can set up a proportion based on the information provided:

1. First, find the proportion of defective desks:
\[
\text{Proportion of defective desks} = \frac{22 \text{ defective desks}}{600 \text{ total desks}} = \frac{22}{600}
\]

2. Now, use this proportion to find the number of defective desks in 36,000 desks:
\[
\text{Defective desks in 36,000} = \left(\frac{22}{600}\right) \times 36,000
\]

3. Calculate that:
\[
\text{Defective desks in 36,000} = \frac{22 \times 36,000}{600}
\]

4. Simplify the calculation:
\[
= \frac{792,000}{600} = 1,320
\]

Thus, there would be approximately **1,320 defective desks** in 36,000.
