The Clover Living Wall Desk versus the IKEA Children's Desk: we tested them for you!

We tested our Clover Living Wall Desk against an IKEA Children's Desk. And of course we are extremely biased, but we came to the conclusion that with the Clover Living Wall Desk you really get something special in your home.

To help you out, we've put them both under the microscope. Buckle up!

Imagine, the moment is here! Your little miracle is big enough to get his or her own little workspace. No more clutter on the kitchen table or drawings lying around everywhere. But which children's desk do you go for? The oh-so-famous IKEA kids desk or the fashionable Clover Living Wall Desk?

To help you out, we've put them both under the microscope and compared them. Got curious? Then read on quickly!

At IKEA, you get the well-known flat pack and the legendary Allen wrench. Nice if you love to puzzle, less so if you have two left hands and a kid who wants to draw NOW.

The Clover Living Wall Desk package, on the other hand, feels more like a gift when you unwrap it. You immediately notice the quality, and assembly is just a bit faster than an IKEA desk; the desk including stool stands in 5 minutes with the help of a screwdriver.

The area of the IKEA desk is a bit more spacious than the Clover Living desk. That can be nice when the kids are older, but usually by then they are ready for a serious desk. A smaller desk is just a bit more subtle and may fit in more places in the house. 

In the case of the Clover Living Wall Desk, you have to remember to attach the Wallboard from Clover Living to the wall. That too is easy to do and you then magnetically click the desk to it and off again.

This makes the desk mobile, but not the wallboard 💁.

Yes, the Internet is full of hacks to pimp your IKEA kids' desk. But let's face it, who has time for a weekend project á la "How do I turn this simple desk into a pirate ship"?

With the Clover Living Wall Desk, you don't need hacks. The design is made so that you can adjust it in an instant.

Magnetic accessories, of course! Can you imagine life without them? Because when your child decides next week that unicorns are out, and dinosaurs are in, you switch just as easily. That way the desk always stays current for your kids.Besides, you can also easily put your own style on it with your own accessories and colors. Of course you can do that with the IKEA desk, but the standard bright white color makes it feel less warm and personal.

At Clover you can choose from three contemporary yet neutral and warm colors that will last you for years to come. 

Both desks are easy to raise. At IKEA you need a key to do this, at Clover Living the risers are under the desk and you simply slide them under the desk without tools.

This way both desks ensure that even slightly older children can still sit at the children's desk. 

Trends come and go, but the Clover Living Wall Desk remains easily adaptable. Try that with your IKEA desk without a visit to the paint store!

If you want to redecorate or update your home with the latest trend colors, the Clover Living Wall Desk is easy to take with you. With its neutral base colors, you can quickly make a difference with few accessories.

That children's furniture does not last your whole life is common knowledge. A scratch here, a dent there. It's part of the deal.

The Clover Living Wall Desk is not immune to child violence either, but it is clearly sturdier and more stylish than the IKEA desk. You feel the quality, you see it in the design and you notice it in the happy little faces.

A Clover Living Wall Desk is just that extra bit of luxury in your home. You feel it, you see it and your children notice it.

Of course, the Clover Living is a bit more expensive and therefore may not be possible for everyone, but it should you have any doubts we would know! 🎨📚💼

Not a dime a dozen but really something different. We think so, of course! 😉
