School is back in swing (at least for the smaller members of our households), which has us thinking about children’s workspaces.

Below: Braxton Desk from Target; $159.

Below: Intelligentsia Desk at Anthropologie, $1,298.

Below: The Go-Cart Desk in lime green powdercoated steel for $149 from CB2.
