What it is for

Every other desk in this range starts at 28.35 inches, which is an adult seated height and far too tall for a seven year old. This one starts at 18.9 inches and stops at 28.3, so it covers the years when a child grows fastest and a fixed desk is either too tall or already too small. The 35.4 by 19.7 inch top is deliberately modest, sized for homework and a laptop rather than for a full workstation.

Check before you order. The top of the range is 28.3 inches, roughly a standard seated desk height. This is not a sit-stand desk for a teenager and will not become one, so treat it as a desk for the primary school years rather than a purchase that lasts to sixteen.

What assembly actually means

The lightest build in the range and the only one a single adult can do comfortably alone. Because the desk will be adjusted often as a child grows, it is worth checking the frame bolts again after the first month rather than assembling once and forgetting about it.

What it changes

A range starting below 19 inches means feet reach the floor from the start, which is what actually determines whether a child sits properly.
Electric adjustment lets the desk track a growth spurt in the week it happens instead of at the next furniture purchase.
The top holds 176 lbs, so the desk survives being leaned on, sat on and climbed on, which is the load case that matters in a child room.

Figures as published for this model. Anything that has never been published is left out rather than estimated.

Where this one sits among the 8

The same figures as every other page in this section, lined up against the section itself. Being the biggest at something is not the same as being the best at it, so the last column says where a number puts this model and leaves the judgement to you.

Figure	This model	All 8 desks	Where that puts it
Top width	35.4 in	35.4 to 70.9 in	The narrowest of the 7
Top depth	19.7 in	19.7 to 29.5 in	The shallowest of the 7
Load rating	176 lb	176 to 220 lb	The lightest-duty of the 8
Lowest height	18.9 in	18.9 to 28.35 in	The highest of the 8
Highest height	28.3 in	28.3 to 46.46 in	The lowest of the 8

Ranges cover only the desks that publish the figure at all; a model that has never published one is left out of that row rather than counted as a zero. Top width and top depth are compared between straight tops only, since the second figure on an L-shaped top is the length of the return and not a depth, so those two rows count fewer desks than the 8 above.

Where it sits in the range

Of the 8 desks in this section this is the second cheapest: 1 costs less, 6 cost more, and the section runs from $104.99 to $265.99.

There is no figure here on which it beats everything cheaper in the section, so if none of the 1 below it is missing something you need, the difference is colour, top size or finish rather than capability.

It carries 21 customer reviews at 4.7 out of five, which is the highest rating in the section. Those numbers come from the retail listing and are reproduced rather than curated, including when they are unflattering.
