A desk will help keep you organized and on-task, but they’re not just great for adults; they’re great for kids, too. Whether your child needs a space to do homework, a dedicated arts-and-crafts zone, or something else, a desk will provide them with the surface area they need. Here’s a list of our favorite affordable and kid-friendly desks on the market.
Greatness all-around
This nicely-sized desk features a durable steel frame and hooks for hanging backpacks or jackets. It also comes with a bench included, making it our favorite.
Top alternative
The Mainstays Basic Student Desk is an excellent alternative to the SD Studio Designs desk, as it offers shelves and a lower price tag. However, it doesn’t come with a seat.
Best elite
This desk is stellar, as it brings height adjustment, desk tilting options, a drawer for storage, and a super durable frame to the table. However, it’s the most expensive option on the list.
Best for two
This solid wooden table will serve excellently as a desk for work and/or art purposes, and the dual chairs it comes with mean it’s a perfect option for families with more than one child. It also comes with some nifty storage bins.
Best for the floor
This unique portable desk allows kids to keep it in place by sitting on its “foot,” making it an excellent option for kids who want to sit on the floor.
Best lapdesk
If your child would prefer to sit on the couch, look no further than the Keskov Lapdesk. It’s a nifty surface that includes plenty of storage underneath once you flip the face of the desk open, making it very convenient.

All of these desks would be a fantastic choice for kids, but if we had to pick just one, it would be theSD Studio Designs Project Center. For an attractive price, you get a large, durable desk, a bench, and hooks to hang backpacks and coats on. This means there’s a ton of value in this purchase, making it our favorite of the bunch.
If you want the best of the best, look no further than thePOTBY Kids Desk and Chair. Between the adjustment options, tanky frame, and convenient drawer storage, it solidifies itself as the fanciest and most versatile desk on the list.
Finally, if your kid is looking to do homework or draw while lounging around the house, your best bet will be theKeskov Lapdesk. It will fit snuggly over your child’s lap and stay secure, and it can also be opened up to reveal a surprising amount of storage space.
