If you’re ready to hook your kids up with their first big-kid desk, it’s definitely worth taking a look at some of IKEA’s latest offerings.

The new IKEA Micke Desk is a nice, simple, but very functional desk at a terrific price–just $79. The white desk looks great with birch or my favorite, orange accents (shown). It’s thoughtfully designed with cord-taming functionality and just enough surface space for a laptop and textbooks. Just make sure your kids are past the age of drawing all over the table with crayon. Otherwise you’ll want to spring for the darker wood. –Liz

Take a look at the Micke Desk online at IKEA, and purchase online or at a store near you. And then you can have the meatballs.
