40 Modern Desks On The Cheap! collage of L-shaped desks, small corner desks, folding desks, and more home office desks

Working from home is all the rage these days. And if it's time to set up a dedicated home office or distance-learning space, the first thing you'll need is a great desk.

But how do you know which inexpensive desk will work best for your home office setup?

I've rounded up my favorite cheap desks from around the web, and organized them by size and shape to help you find exactly what you need at a price you can afford.

Quick disclaimer: I'm looking at size, function, style, and price, but I haven't actually seen these desks in-person. I encourage you to read reviews before you buy!

Desks for Small Spaces

If you live in a small apartment or dorm room and need a desk that can fold down when not in use, these options are perfect! They're also great if you only need your desk occasionally.

Some of them have a drop-leaf, some fold up completely, and others are wall-mounted and have a very small footprint.

Large L-Shaped Desks

If you have a dedicated room for your home office, a corner desk is often a great way to make use of the space. The key to a stylish corner desk is to keep it light. Notice that these desks don't look massive and bulky, even though they provide plenty of workspace. The key is to forgo a large bookshelf add-on above the desk.
