This folding desk is perfect for holiday houseguests, and it’s 40% off

9,000 shoppers rave about this $60, 2-tier space-saving hero that requires no assembly.

Fall has settled in nicely and Halloween is less than a month away — that means the holidays (can I hear a "hooray!"?) will be here before you can say "Boo!" If you've got guests coming to help you celebrate, particularly guests who also have jobs, Amazon's got just the thing to help make their working vacation a bit easier: the GreenForest Folding Desk. Right now, this little hospitality helper is just $60, down from $100 — that's 40% off.

Need for your guests to get out from under your feet and busy themselves? Want to get your abode back to normal as soon as they leave? Consider both boxes checked.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

At $60 for the Walnut color, this is the lowest price we've seen for it since May, and we don't expect the price to drop lower anytime soon. That means if you're expecting holiday guests, you're not going to want to wait too long to get their accommodations in shape. It comes in four other colors — all on sale — including Black, White, Brown and Oak, but the Walnut option is the best deal.

Why do I need this? 🧐

If there's one thing (to be fair, there were many things) we learned during the pandemic, it's that every inch counts in your living space and it's easy for work to take it over — but this space-saving superhero lets you put the day behind you even if you work from home. The same goes when you're working remotely at someone else's house.

Whether you're shopping for yourself or your guest room, this desk takes the stress out of making room for your laptop. It's just over 31 inches high and the work surface is 22 x 27.3 inches with a little shelf for decorations or doodads. It has a sleek and simple design that lets you fold it up and tuck it away where it can't be seen at a moment's notice. To make your life even easier: It comes fully assembled.

Practical, sleek and foldable, this desk is ready to get to work when you are. (Amazon)
The only thing as 'minimalist' as this desk is its sale price. You love to see it! (Amazon)

What reviewers say 💬

Let's put it this way: It seems that Amazon reviewers have already been busily tapping away at this desk ... to the tune of 9,000 five-star reviews.

Pros 👍

"Easy for a flexible space," shared one of them, who found it convenient in a whole nother way come houseguest time. "This works perfectly. It fits well between a pair of windows without interference with the sills, is standard comfortable desk height and folds completely flat to store behind a door when guests are here. It’s sized well to accommodate a laptop, peripheral and a notebook comfortably but not so large to be cumbersome."

"Perfect solution to a hybrid office," echoed this savvy shopper. "My WFH office is in a guest bedroom where when guests are over I don't want the room taken over by my desk. This was a perfect solution. So easy to pop down and store. Also easy to move to other parts of the house. Don't let the foldable aspect make you think it's like a TV tray or cheap. It's great quality and it looks amazing in my space."

"Perfect for guest room!" another fan gushed. "Needed a workstation for out-of-town guests, and this does the trick. Stores easily in the closet when not needed."

Cons 👎

Some otherwise pleased reviewers had some design suggestions.

"Wish it was a smidge heavier," wrote one worker. "This is just a personal preference because of how I sit. I’m worried I’ll knock it over." Said this level-headed shopper: "Love this table; just wish the tiny shelf on top was perfectly flat. Sadly, it's at a slight angle, so you can't really place things on it."

Practical, sleek and foldable with no assembly required, this workstation's ready to get on the job when you are.
