I like the simple clean lines of the Burnham desk from Elte Mkt. It has two drawers and a lip that goes around the sides and back – perfect for rolling pens and pencils. People still use those, right?

The Catalina Storage Desk from PBKids has the cottage country look down pat. I like how it has the option to add a hutch for extra organization.

The Micke workstation from Ikea is inexpensive and offers some great bells and whistles, like a magnetic board and cord outlet. The bright blue and white combo is a great way to add color to your kid’s space.

The Emily Petit Desk from Ethan Allen is certainly good for a traditional bedroom. I prefer the black but it also comes in white and a natural wood color.

Since it’s so simple and has the look of an antique piece of furniture, it can easily be moved out of the bedroom and used as a console in, say, a hall once your child has outgrown it.

This desk from DwellStudio has the popular mid-century modern look. Lots of drawers and surface space provide more than enough room for school supplies.

This original mid-century teak desk from Guff is my favorite. The price is on point and the style is classic. Perhaps it’s a bit mature, but that only means it will grow with your child into adulthood.
