The desk is the most important piece of furniture in a study, essential for our daily activities during learning and work. A beautiful desk can greatly enhance the aesthetics of a study, making it more appealing. However, the most important aspect of a desk is its comfort, allowing us to maintain a healthy and comfortable posture while studying, which is particularly important for students. Below, I will introduce the standard sizes for various types of desks.

Standard Desk Dimensions:
A single-person desk can have a tabletop size of 600mm × 1100mm, with a height of 710~750mm. The distance from the tabletop to the bottom of the drawer should not exceed 125mm; otherwise, it may cause foot collisions when standing up. For wall-mounted desks, a 100mm light trough can be set at a height of 450mm from the tabletop, with a bookshelf or storage rack above it, ensuring that the light tube is not visible while writing, but the tabletop receives sufficient illumination. For desks used by children under 14 years old, the tabletop should be at least 600mm × 500mm, with a height of 580~710mm.
The chair for the desk should also be compatible. In fact, creating an adjustable tabletop is not difficult. By nailing some slats to the wall or cabinet edge, the tabletop can be raised in increments like a shelf. Alternatively, gravity brackets used in store display cabinets can be employed (some of which allow for adjustable board tilt). By making a tabletop that fits over it, the height can be adjusted freely, and the surface can be flat or tilted.
Children’s Desk Dimensions:
Children’s desks should adhere to ergonomic principles, with the dimensions of the desk and chair combined with the child’s height, age, and body type to promote healthy growth. Generally, the standard for children’s desks is a length of 110cm~120cm, a height of 76cm, and a width of 55~60cm; the standard for chairs is a seat height of 40~44cm, with an overall height not exceeding 80cm, which can generally meet the needs of school-age children.
Mini Folding Table Dimensions:
Small tables typically have a tabletop made of wood fiber molded into shape, and there are also plastic options available. The surface is smooth, with various shapes, wear-resistant, and easy to clean, featuring four semi-circular edges that are safe for hands. The overall net weight of the tabletop is reinforced with folding legs, providing wall support; specifications: 60 (length) × 40 (width) × 1.2 (thickness) cm, with a vertical net height generally around 31cm, and it is foldable.
Computer Desk Dimensions:
The dimensions of a computer desk primarily focus on design. The height of the tabletop, the placement of the keyboard, and the routing of power cables must be designed reasonably to meet work habits and health needs. The height of the computer desk is crucial; when sitting at the desk, if the arms rest naturally on the tabletop, the elbows should bend at about 90 degrees, which indicates an appropriate desk height. The keyboard tray is generally located below the tabletop and can be pulled out to save space, but sufficient space should be left in front of the keyboard to support the wrists, making operation more comfortable and smooth. Similarly, the choice of computer chair is also important; it is best to have a rotating chair that can adjust in height, with a soft cushion and a backrest that is not too high. Additionally, the computer desk should ideally be placed near a window to facilitate ventilation, but direct sunlight should not shine on the desk surface or the computer.
That concludes the introduction to desk dimensions for studies. I hope the above content is helpful to everyone, and I encourage everyone to develop a correct sitting posture.
