    29 Of The Best Desks That Fit In Small Spaces

    Workspaces to help make working from home work for you.

    1. A triangle style designed specifically to fit in the corner of the room to minimize clutter and make it feel smaller than it actually is.

    2. A folding laptop table that looks so nice you might not even want to fold it up and store it in a closet when you're done working. (But you totally can if you need that extra space.)

    3. A floating desk that attaches to the wall, taking up less space in your room but still giving you ample space on top *and* three open shelves.

    4. A wall-mounted drop-leaf table you can ~pop~ open when you're ready to hit the ground running and get everything on your to-do list done, and then simply fold it away at the end of the day.

    5. An L-shaped style that'll give you lots of space, which is especially great if you're trying to navigate the two-screen work-from-home game.

    6. A simple desk reviewers love because it's super easy to assemble *and* simply gets the job done.

    7. A folding desk you can use with a chair or even pull it up to your couch, so you have a place to set your computer for a more optimal workspace than just keeping it on your lap all day long.

    8. A ladder bookcase with a desk at the bottom that'll take advantage of vertical space and give you a place to store your book collection that somehow keeps growing and growing.

    9. A simple Novogratz desk designed to look so much more expensive than the actual price, so you can add a touch of elegance to the room without overpowering it.

    10. A vanity desk combo great for anyone who needs a two-in-one style where you can get ready in the morning *and* still make it to your 9 a.m. virtual meeting on time.

    11. An adjustable rolling cart that has wheels *and* adjusts up and down, making it super easy to move from the couch to a chair, or even your bed. Plus, you can use it as a side table when you're not working.

    12. A simple style with a tray underneath to help you organize all of your cords and keep them from cluttering up the top of the desk.

    13. A floating desk designed with two drop-down shelves that are big enough to fit a laptop in, so you can stash it away when you're not working and keep it out of sight and work out of mind.

    15. A rustic style desk that has plenty of character and comes with a storage shelf underneath for when you need to grab your lunch and take a bite when your boss turns their head on the video call — or store books, no judgment.

    16. A clear-top writing desk you ~clearly~ need, because the glass top will give the illusion that the desk is taking up less space in the room than it really is.

    17. A compact desk with plenty of storage options. It'll also help inform everyone in the house that this is where the ~magic~ happens (aka please do not disturb).

    18. An electric desk prepared to move with you. Sick of sitting all day? Simply transition it into a standing desk through the push of a button — it even includes USB outlets so you can stay plugged in all day.

    19. An adjustable folding lap desk for anyone whose WFH routine doesn't involve them getting out of bed. This small but might desk has a storage drawer and and a foldable book stand that you can use for your tablet or phone. 

    Promising review: "I can’t say enough positive things about this product. Everything fits on this desk, and the slide out tray is big enough to hold everything from pens to glasses. The added book holder which slides out from the bottom will not only hold a book, but also a tablet and phone with enough space next to your laptop to have a journal for notes. With the sled legs it’s easy to slide it back and forth for breaks, and the robust legs hold tons of weight effortlessly. It's easy to adjust the top and legs for tons of comfortable positions. This is one well thought out product." —Scott Richardson

    20. chic writing desk that kills two birds with one stone: It functions as a workspace and also as a cute piece of decor. Just because you're short on space doesn't mean you have to skimp on style!

    Promising review: "I have wanted this desk for a while now. So of course, when I was finally getting it I was super excited. I love the size and shape. It's unique and the colors fit right in with my daughters room theme. The desk space works well for my girls to do their homeschool work and have the computer on it. There is extra leg room when I sit down. It was really easy to assemble as well. It took less than 15 minutes and I did it by myself. I am definitely more than happy and it has exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend it especially if you have it on your wish list like I did." –Ester D.

    Get it from Amazon for $179.99 (also available in five other styles).

    21. A wall-mounted shelf desk because even though you're short on space, you still want an area to work *and* display your beloved plants and tchotchkes. With this desk, you can have it all!

    Promising review: "I had this blank corner in my living room and I just knew this ladder desk would be a gorgeous addition to the area. I don't have an extra room for an office or even the kind of space in our small home to designate to a bulky desk. It was very easy to assemble, it took maybe 25 minutes to put together. I love having my own spot to get my work done on my MacBook. Plus, this spot is perfect to work on any crafts/DIYs. I added a pouf seat instead of a chair just to save even more space since it easily slides underneath the desk. Anyway, I'm so stoked about this purchase! I highly recommend it." —Heather Nicholson

    Get it from Amazon for $149.99+ (available in three colors).

    22. And space-saving yet aesthetically pleasing wooden desk that will get the job done — whatever that job may be — and won't be an eyesore. Win-win!

    Promising review: "This desk is perfect for the area I wanted it for. Since I've been working from home lately, the dining table was not cutting it for me anymore. It was easy to assemble and it looks very nice. There's enough room for laptop, mouse and small writing space. Great for the price!" —Maria

    Get it from Wayfair for $40.99 (available in two colors).

    23. A small and rustic office desk featuring two built-in shelves on the side and three USB charging ports on top. Its modern look will bring an extra dash of charm to your space.

    Promising review: "I’ve been researching a lot of gaming desks on a budget and I was sketchy about a lot of the ones I saw, including this one. I saw some reviews saying the alignment on some of the hardware is poor or the product comes damaged, but I liked the overall aesthetic of it so I went for it. Setup was easy, finished in about a half hour. Every piece and hardware lined up like a dream. Like I honestly had zero issue when it came to building this desk. Overall, gorgeous desk and easy setup, couldn’t ask for anything better. If you’re on the fence, I say go for it." —Joshua

    Get it from Amazon for $239.99.

    Promising review: "I have no words for this desk. I've been on Amazon and have never written a review but I felt that this desk deserved it. 1) Some of the best instructions I've ever seen from a put-it-together-yourself piece. 2) Easy to assemble with clearly written instructions. It took my wife and I an hour and 20 minutes but that was with drinks and a phone call so maybe an hour? 3) I cannot overstate the 'cool factor.' Press a button and see it rise. Press a button and watch it lower. It's awesome! 4) I currently have my work laptop, two 26-inch monitors, my personal laptop on top and there is room left over. 5) Some people are complaining about a seam. Yes there is one but, who cares? Not noticeable at all. Do not hesitate to buy. Great desk, great price, great quality." —Christopher L. Noe

    Get it from Amazon for $138.87+ (available in seven colors and four sizes).

    26. Or a glass electric standing desk complete with charging ports and a child lock so your little doesn't accidentally smash their fingers while they're playing around you on your Zoom meetings. 

    I have this desk and absolutely love it! They're a great brand and their electric desks are super reliable. This particular model also has a control panel on the side with four memory presets, like the option above. 

    Promising review: "This desk is the best!! This is a verified purchase, I bought it with my own $! I’ve never had an issue with the mechanics, it’s def waterproof (I drink an iced coffee every day and the condensation has dried without warping or staining the desktop). It’s the perfect size width-wise and I thought the drawer may be too shallow but surprisingly it fits a ton of stuff!" –Holly

    Get it from Amazon for $284.99+ (available in three sizes and five colors).

    27. laptop desk complete with a built-in mouse pad, cushioned supports above and below for max comfort, *and* phone and tablet holders at the top to give all your devices their place. Now you can move your "desk" to the bed or couch as needed to have Love is Blind on in the background.

    Promising review: "This is my second lap desk. My first one was super small and very uncomfortable. I ended up buying a 15.6-inch laptop and started college online so I was in need of a large and comfortable lap desk that I could use every day for schoolwork. I looked through tons before deciding on this one, and I am so happy that I did! Everything about this desk is high quality. It has a nice leather mousepad, very comfy arm rest, two large slots for your phone/pencils, and plenty of space for my laptop. I use this every day and it was well worth the money; I know this will last me a long time! BEST LAP DESK ON AMAZON, buy it already, you won’t regret it!" —Bre McAlister

    Get it from Amazon for $39.98+ (available in four colors). 

    28. A space-saving desk to make use of that empty corner efficiently, with a cable-management grommet right underneath where your monitor will go (handy!) and a height-adjustable shelf above the pull-out drawer. Compact and functional, what more could you ask for?
