A student desk is a workstation for students to set up and work. Student desks come in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles to suit learning environments, grade levels and teaching preferences. The most important feature is a large enough work surface to accommodate classwork. In addition, some student desks are ergonomically designed to allow for switching from sitting to standing during study time. This allows students to boost blood flow, relax muscles and improve concentration.
A simple desk can be effective for younger students, but as kids grow they need more room to write, read and use a computer or device. For this reason, student desks can often be adjusted in height and depth to fit changing children. Some have shallow desktops that sit snugly against the wall, while others have a larger work area with a built-in book holder or extra storage.

Considering collaborative learning is becoming more common in classrooms, it is possible to find student desks that can be grouped together for group projects or stacked together for more space. These student desks are typically built in unique shapes that make them easy to fit and pull apart. They may also include a wire or mesh book box and power post options.
Sitting for long periods of time can lead to health problems such as obesity, cardiovascular symptoms, consistent stiff body postures and aches and fatigue. Many student desks are now ergonomically designed to allow for a switch between sitting and standing during study time, which increases blood flow, relaxes muscles and improves concentration.
