Product details
It’s easy to keep sockets and cables out of sight but close at hand with the cable outlet at the back.
You can mount the legs to the right or left, according to your space or preference.
Drawer stops prevent the drawers from being pulled out too far.
Can be placed in the middle of a room because the back is finished.
You can extend your work surface by combining desks and drawer units. All desks and drawer units in the MICKE series are the same height.

Great little deskNickGreat little desk. Not too hard to assemble
HappyDeanGranddaughter very happy with her present love doing colouring on it
HappyDeanGrandson very happy with his present
Good small study desk if you don’t mind the assembly chaosBijinIf you’re after a sleek little desk that fits snugly in your bedroom without swallowing the space, this mini marvel delivers. The design is clean, the drawer glides smoothly, and once it’s assembled, it looks like it was made to be there—whether you’re journaling, studying, or just parking your laptop.
Pros:
• Compact footprint, ideal for tight corners or beside the bed
• Handy drawer for stashing stationery, chargers, or midnight snacks
• Neutral finish that blends with most bedroom styles
Cons (but manageable):
• Assembly is… a journey. Not Everest-level, but definitely a hike.
• Instructions could use a bit more clarity, so set aside time and patience
• Best tackled with a cuppa and maybe a podcast to keep spirits high
Verdict: Once it’s up, it’s a winner. Just don’t expect instant gratification—this desk rewards the persistent. If you’re cool with a bit of DIY elbow grease, the end result is a tidy, functional piece that earns its spot in your space.
DeskJulieSmall but perfectly formed. Excellent little desk when you don’t have much space.
False advertisingAnnaI bought this desk to go with the drawer unit to create a longer workspace for two computer monitors. The website falsely advises this desk goes with the drawer units as they are the same height. This is incorrect, the desk is about half to 3/4 inches taller than the drawers. because of this i cannot effectively use the surface of the drawers for my computer set up due to one of the monitors overhanging and becoming lopsided and on a lean. I have to squash everything onto the desk making it very cramped and not ergonomical as there is not enough room for my set up.
very disappointed of being misled!
Easy to assembleJaeEasy to assemble, reasonably priced, lightweight

Great little deskTagenPerfect for kids room
Draw slides in and out easily.
Great product PetaIt’s a very sturdy well made deal. Great for kids rooms or small spaces.
Great little deskKathrynIt looked ok for the kids to be able to have a desk in their room that didn’t take up much space. We were unsure if they might grow out of it too quickly, so us adults set ourselves up at the display model in the store, only to find that it is actually comfortable enough for an adult to sit at too. Happy with that, we bought one for each of the kids. It fits a laptop and book beside it with no issues, and the drawer is very handy.
Compact and perfectPatriciaI love the size of this desk as it is ideal for the space. I did find the construction manual hard to follow. It just did not seem as easy as furniture I purchased in the past. The drawer was hard to put on the runners and still not sure how that worked. But overall great value for money, gorgeous colour and ideal size.

What is constructed board?
We use constructed boards when manufacturing many of our pieces of furniture, such as tables and wardrobes. They are light yet still stable and strong. Each board has a frame made of chipboard, fibreboard or solid wood, while the inside is a honeycomb filling structure made of mostly recycled paper, which is extra durable thanks to its special construction. The board is then covered with a protective paint, foil or veneer depending on the style wanted.
