FAQ

General

What is the Popup Desk?

Popup Desk is a high-quality, fold-down wall-mounted desk designed for people who want a stylish workspace without sacrificing living space. It folds away beautifully when not in use, turning any wall into a smart, minimalist workstation.

Why is the Popup Desk better than a standard home office desk?

Unlike a traditional desk that eats up your floor space 24/7, Popup Desk folds away when you’re done. Your living room, bedroom, or hallway instantly becomes a workspace — only when you need it.

How much space do I need to install the Popup Desk?

When open, the desk extends 70 cm from the wall. Closed, it sits flush at just 30 cm depth. It fits comfortably on most walls without dominating the room.

Where is the Popup Desk made?

The desk is proudly handcrafted in Bulgaria using premium birch plywood and sustainable materials.

Who is the Popup Desk for?

CUstomization and materials

What materials is the desk made of?

The body is crafted from high-grade birch plywood, finished with durable HPL or natural veneer. The back panel is made from textile. You can also order the whole thing in plywood.

Will the surface scratch or stain?

The plywood worktop is more sensitive being a natural material and all but the stain protects it well nevertheless.
