Small Corner Desk – 80 cm Desk with Side Shelves and Optional Chair
This small corner desk has a fan-shaped top that fits into the corner of a room, with a curved front edge, a two-tier shelf unit under one side and a wooden leg under the other. It measures about 79 × 79 × 73 cm and comes in maple cherry, pink or warm white, with or without a matching chair. Easy Life Markets sells all six combinations.
Corners are the hardest part of a small room to use. A desk shaped to fit one gives you a proper place to work without taking up a wall. This one is sized for a bedroom, a studio flat or the corner of a living room: enough surface for a laptop, a lamp and a cup, with the shelves beneath for books and files. The back corner of the top is clipped off, which leaves a gap for cables and a power strip, as one of the supplier's photos points out.
What Is in the Box
- Without chair: 1 × computer desk
- With chair: 1 × computer desk and 1 × chair
The supplier's packing list reads "computer desk and chair", which applies to the option with a chair. Choose "Without chair" and you receive the desk only. The desk needs assembling. The supplier does not list the tools or steps. Ask us if you want them confirmed.

The chair in the photos has a white seat with the maple and white desks and a pink seat with the pink desk. The supplier does not state the chair colour in writing, so ask us if it matters.
A Straight Answer on the Details
- The material is not stated. The supplier gives no material for the desk at all. Desks of this kind are made of a laminated wood-based board, and the leg in the photos looks like timber. Please do not assume solid wood.
- The chair. The photos show a moulded shell seat on four splayed wooden legs with wire bracing. It is a light occasional chair with no height adjustment, no castors and no padding in the photos. It suits short spells at the desk more than a full working day. The supplier gives no dimensions, material or weight limit for it.
- Which way round. The photos show the shelf unit on the left in some pictures and on the right in others. The supplier does not say whether the desk can be built either way. Ask us before ordering if your corner only allows one layout.
- It is small. At 79 cm along each wall, this is a laptop and notebook desk. Two monitors or a full-size desktop setup will be a squeeze.
- Not stated: Material, board thickness, desk and shelf load limits, chair details and assembly tools.
About Desks
A desk is a table made for reading, writing and, now, screen work, usually with some storage attached. The corner desk is a modern answer to small rooms. Sitting in a corner also puts walls on two sides of you, which many people find helps them concentrate, and gives you somewhere to pin notes or mount a shelf within arm's reach.
Will It Fit?
- Measure 80 cm out from the corner along both walls. That whole area needs to be clear of radiators, sockets you want to reach and door swings.
- Check for skirting boards and pipes in the corner. The clipped back corner helps, but a deep skirting may hold the desk a little off the wall.
- Allow at least 70 cm in front of the curved edge for a chair and your legs.
- At 73 cm high the top is a standard desk height.
Setting It Up
- Assemble it on a rug or the flattened carton to protect the finish.
- Tighten the fixings fully only once the top sits flat on the shelf unit and the leg.
- Push the desk into the corner and check that it does not rock. A felt pad under the leg levels a slightly uneven floor.
- Run the cables through the gap at the back corner and keep the power strip off the floor if you can.
- Put heavier books on the lower shelf.
Care
- Wipe the top with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it.
- Use coasters. Liquid left at a board edge can cause swelling.
- Pale finishes show pen and cup marks. Wipe them off early.
- Do not sit or stand on the desk, and do not tip back on the chair.
- Re-tighten the fixings after a few weeks.
Who It Suits
Students, teenagers and anyone working from a bedroom or a small flat who needs a tidy laptop desk that uses a corner and does not dominate the room.
