What to consider when shopping for a wall-mounted desk

✔️Size: First things first, measure your space. Floating desks come in various sizes, including specific styles for corners and unique fold-down designs. Determine whether you'd like a desk that folds down to save space or want a design that feels more like a permanent fixture.

✔️Design and appearance: When choosing a floating desk, you'll want to consider your home style. Do you prefer a small, minimalist desk that blends seamlessly with your other furniture or a more spacious style that makes a design statement? Most floating desks are made from wood, but you may prefer a natural wood grain or a painted white or black finish.

✔️Storage: Some floating desks are a simple wall-mounted, fold-down table, while others include features like storage. Think drawers, shelves, cabinets or even built-in utensil holders.

✔️Assembly and installation: Most floating desks should arrive with all hardware needed for installation, but some may have more complicated instructions than others. Take a look at the instructions listed on the website or read reviews before purchasing. And, you'll likely want a level to check for even installation.
