If space is a premium, whether it is in your home or office, the Convertible Compact Desk might help you use your space more efficiently. This canny piece of furniture converts from a 30" cabinet into a 55" desk, adding space to work and to live.
Convertible Compact Desk
The desk is finished in a dark ebony stain. It also features a top panel with extra storage, cord management cutouts, and one file drawer. The Convertible Compact Desk is available from Crate and Barrel for $500.

wow, i gotta say that thing is awesome!!! i think that's a perfect desk solution since it can take up so little space. but a little pricey.

The only problem with expandable design is that you need to allow room for the expanded size, so on a day-to-day regular use basis, it doesn't really save any space at all. Something like this would be great for occasional use: perfect place for your kid to do his/her homework on the weeks you have visitation, for example.

This isn't for saving space, it's for looks. Some people need a desk but don't have a separate area for a home office. It's not easy to comfortably incorporate a "full sized" office desk into the living room or bedroom decor.

I agree with illegal danish. I could definitely see this working in my bedroom for when I need to do some with without it looking like a work space when I'm not using it. It is a little pricey, but it definitely has more storage, a better look and I'm sure better quality than the Ikea desk posted above. I love the filing cabinet hidden away in the bottom drawer.
