Warm White Kids Study Desk with 4 Fabric Drawers, 40-Inch

This 40-inch desk keeps a clean, simple silhouette that works for a kid's bedroom without looking like a piece of school equipment. A warm white FSC-certified wood tabletop sits on a powder-coated white metal frame, and four fabric-front drawers slide out from either side, whichever suits the room layout better, since the drawer unit installs reversibly.

The tabletop is scratch-resistant and waterproof-treated particleboard, built to take daily homework, art projects, and the general wear of a kid's desk without showing it right away. At just under 20 inches deep, it fits into a bedroom corner without eating up floor space the way a larger desk would.

We picked this over the more elaborate hutch-and-cubby kids desks because the plain tabletop and slim metal frame actually look like real furniture, not a school supply catalog page, and it will still make sense in the room as the child gets older.
