Computer Table With Shelves Above

Inbox Zero

This 47-inch, 55-pound desk unit comes with multiple shelving underneath and above. It is constructed from manufactured wood and is resistant to water, scratches, stains, and fading. It comes with a 10-year warranty and requires partial assembly.

Designer Advice:

This desk takes up a lot of space but provides tons of storage and functionality. We love the open-shelf concept as it leads to so much available space. It has a sturdy, durable, and spacious build that’ll hold your desktop, books, lamp, and stationery securely. However, the desk unit does not have a full bookshelf, which was a disappointment.

Fold Up Desk With Hutch

Latitude Run®

This corner desk with shelves above weighs 77.29 pounds and easily fits along walls. When the desk is folded down, you have four shelves and a cabinet. When folded up, it features a very small shelf and a cabinet.

Designer Advice:

This desk is the definition of modern living, and it is perfect for rooms with limited space. It can work well in your study, office, or even the kitchen. The multipurpose desk can be folded down when needed and folded up to open up the space when it is not being used. While we can’t stop obsessing over the versatility of this desk, constant folding up and down can become a hassle.

Buying Guide

In a home office setting, a corner computer desk with shelves is the most utilitarian and practical solution out of all types of desks. It provides plenty of space not just for the mounting of a monitor and computer tower, but storage for accessories, office supplies, and cables as well. It's built for simplicity but most especially for efficiency with the added space for storage.

The key aspects that require thoughtful considerations when choosing this type of home office desk are the following:

What's the best type of computer desk storage?

Multi-Purpose Shelving - Multi-purpose shelving with a computer desk provides vertical storage enough for organizing office supplies, peripherals, and decorative items. This type of shelving system makes use of space which often goes wasted in home offices. The shelves can come with or without doors.
Small Filing Cabinets - A corner computer desk can come with a small filing cabinet that’s great for small spaces as it offers extra storage for paperwork and files. As it is installed under the desk, you need to ensure the desk still offers ample leg clearance.

What are the most durable materials for a computer desk?

When deciding on a desk’s material, it will be based largely on your style preference but there are also more practical considerations.

Laminate is the best material option for those who are looking for affordability and durability from a desk. However, not all desks made of laminate are durable. Look for ultra-thick, high-pressure laminate. Super cheap laminate corner desks aren’t worth the trouble or the money at all.
Steel desks are durable and they can withstand rough usage. Test a desk’s overall quality by feeling the overall weight of the desk. It should be stable and heavy.
Veneer or wood is a classic choice. The only problem with both materials is that they nick easily.

If you want to quickly gauge a corner desk’s quality, take a close look at a drawer. If it slides easily and it has a roller that is sturdy, then it has quality construction.

High-quality wooden desks are assembled with a dovetail construction that gives them their durability and strength. Weak desks are put together using only glue or staples. For metal desks, if there are gaps in each corner and edge, then the desks were not set right. There shouldn't be any fraying on the edges and corners of the desk.

The warranty of a desk will give you an excellent idea of a specific desk’s durability, life expectancy, and quality. Most warranties range anywhere between 1-year limited to an entire lifetime.

What styles of corner computer desks are there?

When it comes to the desk’s style, it should give you a workspace that promotes productivity. As it will be the space’s focal point, it’s crucial that you choose your desk’s style carefully. Your most common options are traditional, modern, and contemporary.

Unlike other types of desks that are high in style but low on organization and storage, a corner computer desk with shelves is very functional. Base your selection on the considerations we listed above and you’ll be successful with the task of shopping for new home office furniture.
