October 6, 2021
Introduction
What does the back to school season mean for your family? We know that studying for and attending school looks different for many families in 2021. Maybe you’re facing a hybrid school set up for your kids, or maybe they’re back at school full time. No matter their situation, your kids will need a functional, dedicated space to spend time on schoolwork.
What option will work best for your kids? We recommend a suitably-sized kids desk with storage and a simple chair. In this article we will review our top picks for a kids desk with storage and without storage to give you helpful information and make this important decision.
Our Top Picks for the Best Kids Desk With Storage (1000)
- The Studio Duc Juno doublewide desk is the best option for a kids desk with storage. This innovative desk gives your child extra room to stretch their legs during those late night homework and study sessions. The Juno desk also features a set of 3 vertically-stacked drawers on either side, giving ample room for storage. Each set of drawers are fitted with soft close glides to keep fingers from getting pinched or drawers from being slammed shut. Thin modern panels made from Birch are highlighted by a light, natural wood finish, all making this desk an attractive feature for any room. Don’t worry about spending hours fiddling with parts and small crews because the Studio Duc desk is remarkably easy to assemble - often in just 15 minutes. Studio Duc has added a host of thoughtful other touches to their production of the Studio Duc collection, including the use of non-toxic glue and finishes, and US-based manufacturing. If you’re looking for a solid color piece, this doublewide desk is also available in onyx or white. The flexibility in colors allows you to customize your Studio Duc to get the perfect match.
- Studio Duc does it again with this incredibly attractive, modern take on a kids desk with storage. The Indi doublewide desk is a sleek and thoughtfully designed piece that has an open top with a thin raised edge to keep papers, pencils, and supplies on the desk. Either side of the desk is outfitted with two open shelves that make storing and grabbing books or other items a snap. The best part is that these shelves are removable and adjustable to best suit your child’s needs. Underneath these shelves (on both sides) are a larger storage cabinet with a trendy, decorative metal handle and magnetic latches. The desk sits on exposed square legs which adds a little bit of extra sophisticated appeal, even if this will be used as a kids desk! Like other Studio Duc products, you can trust the safety and quality of this desk, which is made in the USA of non-toxic materials. Available in either white or midnight blue, the Indi collection by Studio Duc easily beats most competitors.
- If you want a scaled back but still fully functional kids desk with storage, look no further than the Juno (singlewide) desk. Just like the doublewide, the standard Juno has a beautiful natural wood finish that lets the natural birch color shine through. With three drawers positioned to the right hand side, this desk still provides excellent storage solutions without being too large. The soft-close hinges make each drawer easy and quiet to open and close using the cut-out handles at the top of each drawer. At 48 inches wide, this slim desk easily fits into even small rooms and spaces. This Juno desk can also be ordered in natural birch, white, or black depending on your design preferences and overall color scheme. If you want some other good news, Nini and Loli has partnered with Studio Duc to cap shipping costs at $149 no matter how many pieces of Studio Duc furniture you order ($199 for certain western states).
- For young kids that need a place to sit and read books, color pictures, or let their imaginations go to work, Plantoys makes an excellent table and chair combo that’s perfectly sized for toddlers up to several years old. The small desk does feature two small storage bins that are just right for storing small toys or coloring supplies. The modern bent wood design gives this desk a stylish appeal that looks when paired with many colors and styles, and the curved chair remains comfortable even during long periods of play. Additionally, the top of the desk can be written on with chalk!
- Our final recommendation for the best kids desk with storage also comes from Studio Duc, and it’s called the Indi Art Desk. This art desk is sleek, trim and includes seating for the ultimate combination of utility and aesthetics. Five adjustable organizers are aligned along the front edge of the desk, giving your child plenty of places to stash all of their supplies, electronics, and assignments. The wide-set design also makes this desk very stable, despite its length. The two-seater bench has plenty of room for one child and a companion. White and midnight blue color options give parents flexibility to pick a version of this desk that fits their child’s study room or bedroom.

Additional Storage Options
