Who wants an ordinary desk when you can get an adjustable one? I’ll tell you who – artists. Creating art on a flat surface can lead to incorrect proportions and distortion, as well as being more or a strain on your back, constantly hunched over to view your work.
Adjustable art desks are the perfect solution and make the process so much more enjoyable and efficient – they are built with artists/graphic designers in mind! Plus they have so much storage for all of your beloved art supplies.
Here’s a list of the top 6 best adjustable desks on the market. These range from beginner to professional level, but each one has it’s own style and functionality.
6. Vision Craft Station
Studio Designs 10053 Vision Craft Station in Silver/Blue Glass | $169.57
This desk has a thick tempered-glass tabletop and heavy-duty steel legs.
It had a 2 side-desk organisers on each side with many places for your supplies, 3 storage compartments and also a wide pencil holder along the bottom of the tabletop.
The angle can be adjusted between 0 and 70 degrees, which is an incredible range.
With 4 wheels for easy moving, that can also be locked into place, it can be moved around easily with little effort.
You get what you see with this desk and I don’t know about you, but what I see is an awesome looking beast of a desk.
In other words, it’s high-quality, durable, functional and stylish – perfect for beginners and professionals alike.Â

5. Studio Designs Folding Glass Desk
Studio Designs Folding Modern Glass, Silver and Blue | $167.29
This professional-looking tempered-glass desk has 2 desk organiser on each side, both with multiple containers. There are no storage containers or any underneath storage, which is a shame, but the many side containers do the job.
It can be angled at 6 different positions between 0 and 35 degrees.
Like all glass desks, a light can be placed behind to allow for easy, convenient tracing, which is extremely handy. See photo to know what I mean.
In conclusions, it’s a sturdy, robust desk with a lot of great features. As long as you don’t need crazy amounts of storage, you won’t be disappointed.Â

4. Eclipse Craft Center
Studio Designs Eclipse Craft Center in Black | $105.99
This sleek desk is perfect for artists who need quality, stability and functionality.
It has three drawers, a pencil ledge, and a wide (and tall) under-storage area which I love, making storage not a problem with this desk.
In addition, it also comes with a padded stool and 4 levelers under the feet of the desk for extra support and stability.Â
The angle of the tabletop can be adjusted between 0 and 30 degrees – not the biggest range of motion, but decent.Â
It comes in black or white, both looking very nice.Â
I’m shocked at how low the price is – the quality of the desk is astonishingly good for just over $100.Â

3. Vintage Rustic Oak Drawing Desk
Vintage Rustic Oak Artist’s Desk | $134.99
I just adore the look of this desk. It’s by far my favorite looking desk on the entire list.
I’m a firm believer in simplicity, and this desk really proves my point.
It has no storage really, besides a pencil ledge at the bottom – it just goes back to basics by solely being a beautiful, natural place for an artist to work on their art.
One practical thing is does have that the other desks here don’t is a huge range of motion. The angle of the desk can be adjusted from 0 to 80 degrees!Â
If it had storage, it would be number 1 on the list, but if you don’t care about all that and have separate storage, then you really need to get this.Â

2. OneSpace Blue Glass Craft Station
OneSpace Craft Station, Silver with Blue Glass | $121.00
This eye-pleasing blue tempered-glass desk boasts an adjustable table-top that won’t allow supplies to fall out, even though it can be angled at between 0 and 62.5 degrees!
It also has two storage containers and a wide pencil ledge.
One feature I love that I haven’t seen in any other adjustable desk is the desk-width ruler that is attached. Very useful.Â
The desk has four wheels, two of which can be locked into place , meaning no wobbling.
There’s no stool included unfortunately, however, with the quality of this desk, the unique features like non-spill containers and a ruler more than compensate.Â
Moreover, at just over $120, it’s really not too expensive and a great deal.

1. Comet Craft 2-Piece Artist's Desk
Studio Designs 2 Piece Comet Craft Table | Black/White | $125.14
Lastly, we have the Comet Craft Table.
This exceptional desk consists of a high-gauged steel frame with a connected side-drawer. You can see for yourself just how slick and professional it looks.Â
In terms of functionality, the angle of the desk can be adjusted between 0 and 40 degrees.
The comfortable foam-padded stool included is solid due to its strong, metal legs. It’s usually overlooked how important it is to have a good, solid seat to work on.
As for storage, this desk has three nice drawers, and a long storage tray underneath that’s super-useful for storing bits and pieces you have like brushes, small paints, tape etc. – basically anything not worthy enough for those precious drawers!
And don’t forget about the top of that side cabinet – it’s unbelievably useful and one of my favorite features!
The desk comes in a crazy number of awesome colors – black, white, pink, blue, purple, spattered gray, each version stylishly presented.
In conclusion, this desk is solid, ergonomic, functional, and just looks awesome. It’s the type of desk that makes you feel more professional and actually encourages you to take your work more seriously.Â
Funnily enough, it’s my favorite desk on the list but it’s not nearly the most expensive which blows my mind. This desk has virtually everything any artist desires.
This desk has 4.7/5 stars on Amazon.com, and you’ll see why if you get it.
(IMPORTANT TIP: If you click on any link for this desk and it says the product is “currently unavailable”, just choose a different color like white for example and it should work!)

Things to remember!
When I first found out about adjustable desks I got so excited, but was also skeptical about whether or not they would live up to their look. Long story short – they do.Â
And at only a little more of a cost than a boring old regular desk, it’s really a no-brainer for any artist looking to buy one!
