Wayfair’s Budget-Friendly Desk Collection Includes Plenty of Options Under $250

The Baxter is a sweet little desk that still gets plenty of points for style. Its natural finish and curved metal legs give it a laidback look, and it also has two drawers and an extra little shelf on the back that gives you plenty of room for storage or decorative accessories.

The simple design of this desk includes two thoughtful features—a fabric pouch on the side to store books or desk accessories, and a hook where you can hang your headphones or tote bag. This is a great pick for any student who needs a new study spot at home.

If you're really tight on space, consider a set of folding tables that you can easily tuck away when not in use. These desks are sturdier than most, and you can adjust the height of the writing surface from seated to standing. Plus, you can get a set of two for over 60 percent off right now!

Another great space-saving option, this desk is a sturdy, full-sized laptop desk that folds away when not in use. It even has a sliding shelf for your keyboard or notebooks. It has a pretty classic design that would work well with any decor style, even if your workspace happens to be in your kitchen or living room.

This sleek laptop desk will look great in any Scandi modern space. It's made from solid wood with a light oak finish, and has two shallow drawers that don't interfere with its minimal design, but are big enough to hold your laptop, papers, pens, and pencils.

The Barnesbury is one of the most affordable full-sized desks at Wayfair, with plenty of space for a desktop computer, all your accessories, and a plant friend or two. A pair of these back-to-back would work well if you're looking to design your own little co-working space with a partner or roommate.
