Types of small computer desk models
<
>
Stationary
The most common are stationary models; they are usually installed in one place. In many cases, they are complemented by shelves, add-ons and other elements. This makes it possible to maximize the possibilities of furniture.
In addition to straight options, there are also corner models. This solution fits optimally into even the smallest room. A corner table can be placed in a usually unused corner, which saves useful space, while the work space will be quite comfortable.
Since the table is usually narrow, it is complemented by a shelf for the keyboard. This makes it possible to free the top of the tabletop.
Such tables are made from almost any material. One of the best options is solid wood. This model has the best combination of visual appearance and reliability, but is expensive. Also, tables can be made of plastic or metal.
As a rule, the entire table is made of one material.
The tabletop can be made of the same material as the frame. Less common are models with a working surface made of MDF, chipboard or glass.
Hanging
If your room is very small in size, you may want to choose a hanging table. Here are its main advantages:
- You can significantly reduce the floor area that the table occupies;
- You get additional space to place useful items.
As a rule, hanging tables have a built-in cabinet or shelf. This add-on allows you to get a table with expanded functionality. Here you can not only work, but also store documents, stationery and other necessary things.
When choosing this option, you need to consider hanging options. In most cases, these are anchor bolts; this is the most reliable option. But, on walls made of plasterboard and similar materials, a mounting strip can be used.
The hanging table has no legs. Although there are modifications that have beveled supports from the wall.
Most often such furniture is made of wood. Although there are options that use metal (aluminum) or plastic as the material.
Transformers
A transforming table implies the ability to change some elements and parameters. In practice, the following options are encountered.
- Table-cabinet. More precisely, the basis here is the cabinet, but the tabletop is built into it, rolling out or reclining if necessary. The system unit is placed in one of the cabinet compartments. As a result, your small room will have a workspace and storage system.
- If you are interested in a stylish wardrobe, you should choose a compartment. In this case, the shelf replacing the tabletop and add-ons are located directly in the cabinet. You get an almost completely separate mini-office.
- Collapsible. In this case, you will receive a set of blocks that can be disassembled and rearranged as needed. The set may include a variety of drawers, shelves and other elements.
Portable
If you have a very small room, or if you regularly travel to a country house, a folding table will be the best solution. It can be unfolded or folded in the shortest possible time, if you don’t need it now, the table simply folds and is put away. Typically, this solution is used for laptops.
The dimensions of such a table are chosen taking into account the possibility of its comfortable use, but also ease of transportation. Furniture hinges, pins, and special clamps are used as a folding mechanism.

Features and characteristics of computer desks
When choosing a compact desk for a computer, you should take into account the basic requirements for this piece of furniture. First of all, you need to look at the need to create convenience during work.
The main elements are as follows:
- The tabletop must be large enough to accommodate the monitor and all the tools necessary for work. This could include a keyboard, speakers, and other peripheral devices.
- The presence of a shelf for the keyboard. If in standard furniture this element is optional, then a small computer desk must have such a shelf. It extends as needed and saves space.
- Niche for the system unit. Mandatory design element. Must have good ventilation.
- Shelves and drawers. An optional element, but in general it provides a greater level of comfort during operation.
Another nuance of such tables is the ability to quickly move from one point to another. If necessary, such furniture can be placed in any convenient place. Thanks to a large number of models, you can choose the most suitable option for your interior. As a rule, such tables have a small tabletop.
Which desk to buy for a computer
Having studied the preferences of buyers, it’s time to move on to the classification of computer desks and draw conclusions about how much the model you like will be in maximum demand in a particular situation.
What are the different types of computer desks?
We have already seen that the convenience and functionality of a desk for a personal computer directly depend on its design. Conventionally, all computer desks are divided into two large groups: universal and computer.
Universal
It is not always possible to find space to place a separate table to organize a home workplace or a technically equipped recreation area. In this case, you need universal furniture, in which part of the area is allocated for a computer with the necessary peripherals, and the rest serves to solve other problems.
A typical situation arises for schoolchildren who need to read textbooks, write in notebooks, look for additional information on the Internet and post a presentation of their work on the school website.
Universal computer desk.
PC only
The computer desk is designed to position the monitor, keyboard and all related office equipment as conveniently as possible. Great importance is attached here to ergonomic shapes and the ability to have shelves and drawers for necessary things on hand. There are three typical categories here.
Classic
These are ordinary stationary tables. They are larger and more reliable than other varieties.
Such tables usually have the following design:
- wide tabletop;
- monitor stand;
- keyboard shelf;
- niches for the system unit and peripherals;
- cabinets and racks.
The forms of their mutual arrangement can be any.
Classic computer desk.
Sliding
Transformable tables are produced in the form of a sliding structure or a tabletop that folds away from the cabinet or wall. They are suitable for a child's room or a gamer who needs to quickly expand the usable space.
Extendable computer desk.
Mounted
Wall tables are specially designed for small spaces. They are attached to a wall or other vertical supports and equipped with a means of fixation in the working position.
Hanging computer desk.
Shapes of computer desks
The shape of the purchased furniture must correspond to the size of the room, the space allocated for it and the equipment that needs to be placed on it.
Direct
A rectangular table will fit perfectly against a wall, a window, on a spacious loggia, in the middle of the room or in a row with the rest of the furniture. Usually everything you need is placed on it.
Straight computer desk.
Corner
The L-shaped design helps to rationally use the corners of the room.
Corner computer desk.
U-shaped
U-shaped computer tables are often made to order for a specific room. Due to the ability to have everything you need at hand, they help achieve maximum comfort while working or solve a large number of different tasks at an accelerated pace.
U-shaped computer desk.
Shapes and sizes
A small computer table has strict shape requirements. This is due to the need to save space. The following varieties are found:
- straight;
- corner;
- L-shaped.
The choice is made based on the specific situation.
The table should fit organically into the room.
The sizes are chosen as small as possible. All tabletops on furniture of this type are narrow, which saves space. Minimum depth 600 mm. The length of the table should fit into the interior. The smallest length is 800 mm. Larger models are chosen if possible.
Material of manufacture
The strength, weight, reliability and durability of a computer desk depend on the choice of source materials. Several options are now considered the most acceptable in terms of price and quality.
Tree
A universal structural material, easily amenable to all types of mechanical processing. It is beautiful, relatively expensive and heavy. Small tables are made from it, which are often mounted on casters or wheels to simplify movement.
Wooden computer desk.
Chipboard
Chipboard at an affordable price is characterized by high load-bearing capacity. For this reason, chipboard is a recognized leader in the production of budget home and office furniture. It can be used to create intricate designs with flat edges.
It can swell with prolonged contact with water, so its outer surfaces are coated with protective compounds. Most often, lamination is used for this, which consists of gluing decorative paper, which is impregnated with melamine-formaldehyde resins for strength.
If you care about your own health, then you need to purchase such products with safety class E1. Based on the degree of formaldehyde emission, they are even allowed for the production of children's furniture.

Metal
The metal is strong and durable, but unpleasant to the touch. In the production of tables, its role is auxiliary parts: fasteners, fittings or supporting frame. Countertops are not made from it, preferring “warmer” materials.
Glass
Tempered glass has high strength under stationary loads and moderate strength under dynamic loads. It cannot be broken into sharp pieces. It goes well with metal and wood.
Tabletops, shelves or doors made from it visually expand the surrounding space. Its main disadvantages are soilability and fragility under strong impacts.

Table dimensions
The variety of shapes and designs of computer furniture implies a wide range of dimensions, but certain limits have developed beyond which it turned out to be impractical.
Length
The length of the table is directly related to the size of the monitor and the equipment installed next to it. In such a situation, it may well be limited to limits from 90 to 140 cm, which is what we observed when reviewing the best models.
Depth
For proper functioning of the eyes, they try to maintain the distance from them to the monitor around one meter. This distance is established when the tabletop depth is 60-90 cm. In this case, there is still room for a mouse, documents or writing instruments. Freedom of maneuver and a comfortable position for the hands is provided by an additional cutout in the area of the front end.
Height
According to ergonomic indications, the tabletop should be at the level of the solar plexus. For a man of average height (175 cm), a height of 75 cm is suitable. If you want to know the optimal parameter for yourself, you can calculate it.
Suppose you have grown to 185 cm, two arithmetic operations are enough: 185 x 75/175 = 79.3 cm
Most models have adjustable screw supports with a stated height of 72-80 cm.
Table equipment
The general principle “there is everything you need and nothing extra” should be the main motive when equipping your computer desk. We list the functional options that are difficult to do without.
Storage systems
Over time, documents, disks, spare accessories, printing products, and note paper begin to accumulate on the table. For their organized storage there are cabinets, racks, drawers and shelves.
Computer desk with storage system (stand and shelves).
Keyboard shelf
A pull-out keyboard tray expands usable space, leaving more room for other peripherals.
Pull-out shelf for keyboard.
Monitor shelf
The same role is played by shelves for the monitor and speakers, which also improve the overview of what is happening on the screen. Here the approach must be individual. More often than not, looking down for a long time is more beneficial for the eyes than looking up.
Monitor shelf.
Niche or shelf for the system unit
The compartment for the system unit protects it from shock and moisture during floor cleaning.
The system department is:
1. Stationary . It worsens the intensity of heat transfer and complicates access to places where external storage media and standard cables are connected. This applies only to closed niches, but there are also open options.
Stationary compartment for the system unit.
2. Roll-out . This design is more modern and does not create any problems.
Roll-out shelf for the system unit.
Height adjustment
An important option that is relevant for schoolchildren. The problem is solved with the help of telescopic legs, which should be lengthened as the child grows.
Adjusting the angle of the tabletop
The angle of inclination of the tabletop, which changes at the discretion of the user, contributes to the correct formation of posture.
Wheels
Wheels make it easier to move the table when rearranging furniture, but for reliable fixation they must be equipped with stoppers.
Computer desk on wheels.
Ventilation
An air cooling system is necessary for gaming models when the PC operates close to its power limit, which can lead to strong heating of computer components.
Lighting
It is better to have additional local lighting of important areas on the desktop. For gaming computers, thematic decorative lighting will be more important.
Additional equipment
Computer desks of this type are functional, so they can be equipped with additional accessories. Let's look at the most common ones.
- Cabinets and drawers. Allows you to store documents and things. They have standard fastenings, this is done for ease of use.
- Fan. Some desk models may have the ability to install an additional fan to cool the system unit.
- Backlight. Sometimes they are equipped with light bulbs, which increases the level of comfort during operation.
- Folding mechanisms. This includes pins and loops. Allows you to effectively fold the table when necessary.
Choosing a computer desk depending on the purpose
Whatever the computer and the table for its installation, they are, first of all, tools for solving a number of tasks that are unique to each user.
For schoolchildren
The student should buy a universal table of straight or corner shape. It is desirable that the outer corners be beveled, and the supports allow the height to be increased as the child grows. To store school supplies you need cabinets, shelves and drawers. Over time, you will have to increase functionality by adding a printer, speakers for better sound and other accessories.
For office or home office
The design of a desk for a regular or remote office will depend on the nature of the work being performed. For a programmer or engineer at a design organization, it is important to place two monitors, and for a businessman, it is important to have a place to store personal notes and business documentation. The shape of the table should not be of decisive importance here, but the possibility of placing additional sockets and network connection nodes would not hurt.
Choosing a room for accommodation
The classic location for a computer desk is an office. You can safely put any model you like in this room.
It is possible that the design of the office will be built around the selected desktop. A luxurious desk-bureau, or a minimalist tabletop without drawers, a wall-mounted model with a set, complex geometric shapes, a round and oval table - all this is easy to fit and play with in the interior of the office.
When choosing a desk for an office, you need to take into account the type of activity of the owner, since different professions may require different sized workspaces.
A very original solution would be to place a computer desk on a heated balcony. A compact bureau, a small console, or a narrow long window-sill table will be a good choice for this room.
Excessive lighting for a computer, if desired, can be corrected with thick curtains or blinds.
The optimal solution for the bedroom would be a small mobile computer table. Console tables, transformers, narrow wall-mounted models, as well as compact corner tables, or a work area on the window sill will also be a good option for this space.
For a children's room, a computer desk is selected according to age. For young children, they purchase a built-in furniture option combined with a wardrobe and a bed.
When choosing a table for a teenager, you need to focus on the ergonomics of the model, since the child will have to spend a lot of time at it. A classic option with a shaped tabletop and an additional shelving on top works well.
Perhaps one of the most difficult tasks for a designer is arranging a work area in the living room. Many people want the computer desk in the living room not to be visible in the photo.
In addition, there should be a lot of free space in the living room, therefore, the computer desk should not take up it.
In addition to various mobile options and transformable tables, you can try combining a living room furniture set with a computer area. The built-in option is also suitable for the kitchen.
