wall desk

Fold-down writing surface

A wall desk is a desk that mounts directly to a wall rather than standing on legs, typically folding down when in use and folding up flat against the wall when not needed.

Wall desks save floor space in small rooms or apartments: The wall desk in her studio apartment doubled as a dining table.

Some designs remain fixed in position, projecting from the wall like a shelf.
