[quote=Anonymous]We did this -- tables, chairs and bookcases from Ikea, plus a big corkboard/whiteboard. Tables work better than desks b/c they give kids room to spread out, as well as providing a spot for a friend or two to work alongside your child (very helpful for the increasing number of group projects). In general, I'd advise against spending a lot of money on furniture and definitely not built-ins. Kids evolve in their study habits and you might find, as we did, that the study lounge works beautifully for a while, but then is abandoned as kids head into middle school. Or, it might be perfect for one child, but not for another who prefers working at the kitchen table or in his/her room. Our study lounge has evolved into a cozy reading nook. [/quote]
