QDesk is an eco-friendly, one-piece school desk made of 100% recyclable polyethylene. The design features an ergonomic seat for comfort and rounded corners for safety. It is available in five bright colors and comes in a variety of sizes to fit children from kindergarten to 8th grade.

The innovative roto-molded design was created to meet the needs of Venezuelan schools and is the first fully plastic, one-piece school desk available in Venezuela as well as many other countries. The desks sell for about $100 USD.

The QDesk is durable yet practical and attractive. Its modern design gives the school classrooms the fun look that children love.  In addition the QDesk is made out of 100% recyclable polyethylene so it is extremely durable and light, making classrooms more flexible and environmentally friendly.

Very cool, these sure beat the uncomfortable wood-and-metal seats we had to sit in! My hair always used to get caught in them...

While they are awesome desks, where are the lefty versions? The bane of my academic career!

Properly Designed Student Desk Chairs
Not everyone is right-handed, of course. So I took the liberty of adding a nice pic of how these would look when designed properly. :)
