Feet touch the floor issue probably could be met some other way. Lots of mini step kid step stools. Or anything really. I wouldn’t go for that pink thing. Would be outgrown before you got it home.

I have 3 kids ages 3-10. We have a home office with a giant executive desk with 2 huge monitors and all three kids can sit in there just fine. We had just gotten a new kitchen table so we moved our old ultra modern kitchen table into a computer desk for my 8yo. It was fine for him to eat on and now works great as a desk. We bought a new monitor, printer, keyboard and mouse. We put this table in a room with all windows and all 3 kids like this table the best.

I actually have multiple kid desks, art tables and small kitchen table. I bought this small furniture when I had a preschooler. My youngest is 3 and has no interest in the small furniture. I should donate them.

I’m not looking for toddler furniture. My struggle was that there is nothing in between toddler furniture and adult furniture.

I want their feet on the floor. I think people should have furniture that fits them. Adults included. Most of us have back and neck issues because desks are made for a 6’ tall man.

OP here. I was specifically looking for desks that my 5 and 7 year olds could sit at comfortably. If I wanted a 30” simple desk, yes I could find one. If I need a toddler table I could find one too. The problem is there’s nothing in between. It’s proven kids concentrate better when their feet touch the ground. They need a workspace that fits them. I just went ahead and bought those school desks with legs you can adjust. We’ll donate when DL is over. My kids have also been stuck with me for 5 months nonstop so getting them to listen to my authority on school stuff will be more effective if they have a dedicated workspace where their mind can be in “school mode”.

Now... who can recommend a stylish futon for under $1000?


LOL back at you and stupid post looking for a stylish baby desk for your 7 year old.

TOO HIGH, Y’ALL. These are for early elementary kids. Table height should be no more than 24” or so.


My kids have adjustable gaming chairs that fit just fine for this.

Google 'crib desks' and look at the images. You can have a nice wooden desk by repurposing an old crib.

We bought just legs from ikea (adjustable height between 23⅝-35⅜"). You can also buy legs from Amazon or any other place.

Picking up a wooden top from HomeDepot. My son wanted a longer desk, daughter had an area she wanted it to fit, so it's slightly smaller. Then painting the top for our daughter, and staining for our son. It's our project for this weekend.

The legs are $15 each. My daughter only needs two legs, because we used a file cabinet for the opposite end.

I bought fully adjustable Stokke high chairs that grow with your child when my kids were babies and after removing the infant safety harness, they used them until they could sit normally on regular chairs. The Stokke chairs have both a seat and a footrest that you can move down as the child grows, which means they can always sit at a regular table safely and comfortably. Very good investments.

Ikea—dining room tables.

Yea the dining room table selection has several options that make a great sturdy and large desk. Strongly recommend instead of their flimsy office collection.
