Wall Mounted Computer Desk

You’ll often find these desks listed or advertised as “floating desks,” because many models don’t require legs and appear to be floating in mid-air in front of the wall where they’ve been hung. Some desks are built into a slim casing mounted directly onto the wall, to be folded down when needed and hidden away when not in use.

A floating computer desk is not only ideal for saving space; it can also provide additional storage drawers or display shelves. The majority of wall-mounted computer desks feature a sleek minimalist design. They fit seamlessly into any home or office, and their colors, materials and styles can be chosen to match any décor.

Less-expensive wall-mounted desks are usually manufactured from medium-density fiberboard (MDF) finished with paint, veneer or laminate to make them look like solid wood or higher-quality synthetic material. Pricier models are often crafted from oak, walnut or other hardwoods, but due to their weight they are more likely to require legs, wall-mounted braces, or heavy-duty rope suspension.

Floating computer desks come in a wide range of styles, shapes and sizes. Curved or angular desks can lend a retro appearance or contribute a modern accent to a room, while traditional wall-mounted secretary desks create a more formal and focused workspace. There are stationary models which can run the length of an entire wall to accommodate multiple computer monitors or provide extra table space, and others which tuck discreetly into the corner of a room. Some are so small and flat that they are nearly invisible when tucked away.

Utility doesn’t have to be ignored when choosing a floating desk for the wall. You can choose a desk with channels in which computer cables and wires are hidden, one with enough storage space to rival a standard office desk, and even a wall-mounted computer desk with built-in LED lighting.
