WOHOMO Folding Desk (Small) 80cm foldable table in oak-style finish

If you’re short on floor space, a small folding desk can be a real sanity-saver. The WOHOMO Folding Desk is built around a simple idea: it opens up into a usable workstation, then folds down into something you can hide away when you’re done.

It’s not trying to be a full-size office setup. On paper, it sits closer to a compact writing/study surface—handy for home offices, kids’ homework areas, caravans, or that awkward corner where you just need “a bit of desk”.

The essentials

The desk measures 80 x 40 x 74.5 cm when unfolded, so it’s a narrow, compact footprint rather than a wide executive-style work surface. When folded, it becomes extremely thin at just 7 cm wide, which is the kind of dimension that matters if you want to store it behind a door, under a bed or sofa, or in a corner without dedicating a permanent spot.

The folding action uses a nylon buckle design. That’s the kind of mechanism that should make it easier to fold/unfold without fuss, while also helping keep the table legs stable rather than feeling wobbly when it’s set up.

Key features that affect everyday use

Stability is one of the few things that can make or break folding furniture, so it’s worth noting that this model uses two triangular support plates. In plain terms: it’s designed to stand steady, so you can write, study, or use a laptop without the desk feeling like it’s constantly fighting you.

There’s also a built-in practical angle with a side hook. It’s there for small items like headphones or a bag, which helps keep your desk surface clearer—especially important on a 40 cm deep table.

Finally, the tabletop is described as a “stealth” grey-gold finish that your mouse can work on if you don’t have a mouse mat to hand. That’s a small detail, but it can make the desk feel more usable on day one.

Space-saving design: when it actually helps

This is where the WOHOMO folding desk earns its keep. If you live in a home where work happens in short bursts—checking emails after tea, doing assignments, quick note-taking—it’s often better to have something you can put away than a permanent desk taking up space.

For example: set it up in the bedroom for a couple of hours in the evening, then fold it down and slide it away under the bed. Or, keep it near the lounge for a weekend gaming session, then pack it away so the room stays usable.

That 7 cm folded width is the headline here. But do remember the trade-off: it’s still a small work surface, and it won’t feel the same as a larger desk if you want wide keyboard space, lots of storage, or a multi-monitor layout.

Who it suits, and who should be cautious

It’s a solid pick if you mainly need a compact surface for writing, studying, gaming, or even eating occasionally, and you want something you can store out of the way quickly. It also fits the “move it around” mindset, because it’s described as lightweight at 7 kg—light enough that even a 12-year-old could move it between rooms, at least in the context described.

It may not suit you if you’re trying to create a proper long-term workstation with lots of gear. The depth (40 cm) can feel tight once you add a keyboard, mouse, a monitor, and accessories. The entry-level nature of a small folding desk also means it’s better for practical, everyday tasks than for people who expect a premium feel under heavy, constant use.

And one more limitation to keep in mind: while it’s described as stable, folding desks can never fully match the rigidity of a fixed table, so if you’re very sensitive to any wobble, you may want to be more cautious.

Is it worth it?

Buy the WOHOMO folding desk if you prioritise space-saving storage (that 7 cm folded width is the main draw) and you want a desk that’s easy to set up for short, frequent work sessions. It’s especially sensible for smaller home offices, bedrooms, corners, caravans, and setups where the desk needs to disappear when you don’t need it.

Skip it if you’re looking for a deep, room-filling workstation, or if you need lots of room for peripherals and accessories. If your setup depends on broad desk space and a more fixed “office” feel, a larger non-folding surface will usually make life easier.
