Open Front School Desks

Student desks are a Worthington Direct specialty and there are many classroom desks available for schools and universities. This group of open front school desks particularly features individual student work desks or modular student desks. Students can work privately at their own study desk when used in traditional classroom rows, or they can be easily clustered together to create collaborative work desks and group study desks. School desks range from the simple desk top units to open front desks that feature book storage compartments. The open front desk has a front loading book compartment that can be constructed of metal or plastic and some have a colorful book box to match school colors or designate various themes. Though metal open front desks are generally a better long term investment, plastic open front desks are made from extremely durable plastic and are often preferred by teachers because they are more quiet than metal open front desks when books are being placed in the open front desk book box. For safety, some school desks have clearview wire bookracks that allow the teacher to observe the contents of a student’s school desk. Laminate top student school desks have a smooth wood grain finish and are a great economical choice. For a greater long-term investment, consider purchasing a student school desk with a solid plastic top which also have a smooth surface desktop and are available in several colors. Most student school desks have adjustable height legs, which permit student use from grade school all the way to university level. Junior executive desks, double open front desks, bow front desks and two student desks all feature larger desk tops and allow more room for books or laptops. Look for unique modular desks that are wedge-shaped and can be used as stand alone individual classroom desks or that can huddle as cooperative learning desks. Worthington Direct carries school classroom desks from top brands including Virco, Smith System, Scholar Craft, Royal Seating and KI.
