Professional kids desk assembly - flat-pack desks built properly with sturdy construction, level surface, and working drawers. A proper homework station encourages focused work.
Homework Needs a Proper Desk
Doing homework at the dining table works until it doesn't. A dedicated desk gives children their own space - for homework, art, screen time, whatever needs focus. Built properly, it lasts for years.
💡 Pro tip: Desk height plus chair height equals posture. Get the combination right and homework is less physically tiring.

Frequently Asked Questions
What desks do you assemble?
All types - simple flat-pack desks, desks with storage, height-adjustable desks, corner desks. IKEA, Argos, Amazon - we've built them all.
Can you adjust it for my child's height?
If the desk is height-adjustable, yes. If not, we can advise on chair height to match - the combination matters for good posture.
What about cable management?
If the desk has cable management features (holes, trays), we set those up too. Tidy cables make for a better workspace.
Do you anchor kids' desks?
Usually not needed - desks are generally stable enough. If it's tall or narrow and could tip, we'd recommend anchoring.
