The Student Desk is Not Just For School

The student desk has become a great home piece for your child to do schoolwork or for any constructive project they may have. Many are designed just like the open front desks you see at school but others can be more elaborate like a student computer desk that resembles a roll top desk. These are typically for older children who have personal computers in the rooms. You will probably have to assemble the desk no matter what style you choose to purchase. Don't worry though, as they all come with easy to follow instructions and keep the hardware separated in plastic bags so you won't get confused. It will probably take an hour at the most to put it together.

Another thing to consider is the space your student desk will occupy. You can't fit a large computer desk in a small room obviously so knowing your options will help you decide what kind to purchase. Is there an outlet needed and does the desk provide a place where a lamp or computer cord can easily be accommodated? That's just one thing to think about. Would it block too much of a window if placed in front of it? Would that be too much of a distraction for my child? Does the placement flow with the room? You should measure out the spot you want to place the desk before going out and buying it.

For younger children all you really need is the desktop with a simple cubby below it like the ones made by Virco. It's made of one piece of metal and has a finished particleboard top or it is laminated. These are the types of student desks that you find in elementary schools most often. For an older child you could choose either the student computer desk or a student desk hutch. The computer desk is made to store a computer with retractable keypad tables and roll out CPU drawers. The desk hutch is actually a two piece desk like a china hutch. It has a flat desk area where a hutch with storage area for school gear sits atop the desk. Assembly for all of these desks is simple and rarely requ ires more than a small hammer and a screw driver.
