Small desks are vital to the functionality of a shared workspace. A desk with a hutch that holds computer towers and printers is a great tool for saving space while staying productive. Tuck a table with vertical file slots into a narrow entryway for letters and packages, or add a simple yet durable craft table to a small den for sewing or scrapbooking projects.

In addition to school and job-related tasks, a small desk can serve a number of different purposes. A piece featuring spacious drawers and cubbies can work as a sideboard for a dining room, while a sleek tempered glass desk with rounded chrome legs makes a chic makeup table for your bedroom.
