For this post, I have put together a collection of the best kid’s desks currently available. Looking for more ideas? See my guide to all kids furniture.
If you want to create a space for your kids to get creative with art and crafts or to sit and do their homework, then a desk is the perfect solution.
Once you know the space you have available look around for something that will fit into that space nicely.
Also choose an age appropriate desk and think about what they are going to use the desk for i.e. art with lots of supplies will require a larger desktop than say one which will just be used for a computer.
Also see my top recommendations for armchair for kids and table and chair sets.
Plus, see my best buys for toy storage boxes.

What To Consider When Buying A Kids Desk
Childs Size
The work surface of your child’s desk should be around elbow level to ensure they keep a safe posture when using the desk.
Some desks have height-adjustable legs, so the desk can be made higher as your child grows taller.
Storage
Integrated storage such as drawers and shelves can be handy for space-saving and keeping all of their things tidy and in one place.
Style
Children’s rooms come in all styles from princesses to bright colour themes. Think about a desk which will suit your child’s taste and personality, which will encourage them to use it.
Durability
Are you looking for something which is more of a temporary purchase or a desk which is sturdy and will last for a long time.
There are plenty of options out there to suit all budgets.
FAQ’s Kids Desks
There’s no minimum age for buying your little one a desk but when they are old enough to sit and do written activities is a good time to get them their own.
Buying a desk for your child will give them their own space to concentrate on school work or home activities.
