Like full-size nest tables, a lower table with schoolwork comes out from under a dinner table with tableware about to be set.

A handy helper with wheels for your study sessions

Try creating a mobile study station. Find a chair that’s perfect for the job and collect on it all the things you need. And if you have a comfy laptop support, there’s no need for a desk. Just pick a quiet spot in your home and start working.

A makeshift desktop for stationery and snacks

Things get busy sometimes, and you are left searching the home for some free space on a table or desk. Prepare yourself to go with the flow by collecting your essentials on a tray. Yes, these include your drinks and snacks too.

Now it’s a workspace, now it’s not!

Sometimes, there’s limited space to move around and no time to clean up. Things need to stay top of one another, quite literally. At mealtimes, all you need to do is slide your desk under the dining table and take a seat among your family. It’s super easy with the adjustable legs of the desk.
