Could it also double as a desk for homework? Or is the "table" portion too small?

It's large enough to write on tablet and read book from, but chair has no back for comfort long term. Great vanity though!

It could if there is nothing else on it. It is normal vanity size which means rather small. But this is a very nice piece.

No I'd say it's to small for that, just enough room for a textbook and note pad but nothing else. No laptop room or anything like that.

Two small monitors yes. When you put the table together you could omit or relocate the accessory desk top peices and make more space for monitors. My son loves this desk, he is 16 and big gamer. It is very well made, very sturdy. It's a bit of chore to put together and I highly recommend you have power drill. It took about an hour to put together by myself and if I was using a hand screwdriver I would probably still be putting it together! Good desk though. I have no issue recomending it.

It could easily sit on a desk, but it is about 11 and 1/2 inches deep, so it might not leave much room for desk work.

Yes, you would. The desk is definitely tall enough that you could get a chair and a keyboard tray to fit underneath. It's too tall to have the keyboard on top anyway.

I'm a full time college student and do my homework at the desk quite comfortably all the time... If you are wondering whether the chair can get up underneath the desktop then no.... The desktop and bottom shelf are the exact same size.... You can get a chair right up to it, but not under..... Either way as I said I'm always comfy doing homework...

I wouldn't recommend it. There are two shelf units on either end of the desk, quite substantial. They all fit together--nothing is independent. This is a durable unit, but I wouldn't advise piecemeal assembly. If this is for a child, and he/she isn't old enough for a desk, consider something else, or assemble the whole thing, and store things on the shelves and use the desk for artwork. My daughter's in high school, and she has loved the unit. It's an investment in time (assembly) and money, so make sure it's what you want. Also, the bed is very high up. I wouldn't recommend it for a very young child.

You probably could use only the 2 rectangular pieces, and eliminate the corner piece. It seems it might be less stable that way, but it looks like it could be done - you'd just have two separate tables to configure how you want them. All together, though, it doesn't take up a whole lot of room. It's a great desk for the price.

Maybe, if the children are young you could treat it as two desks. The part in front of the shelves is only 12" deep. The space between the shelves is about 43".

It is full size and can work for adults also. There is not a ton of space, I think that is why they refer to it as a student desk. It worked great for us in a smaller space.

I used it for extra seating for a holiday meal. But I do think it's sturdy and well constructed. It should be okay as a computer, printer, desk assuming you don't have an old 50-pound dot matrix printer clanging away.

We use it as a desk/eating table, but it is very sturdy and well made. I would think a computer, books, a lamp would work just fine .

Yes it can. I use it for my PC so you would have shelf n storage space. The flat section of the desk would fit a laptop comfortably.

if your laptop has a squared off corner in the front on the bottom, then it may be fine. If it is rounded (like an I pad or a note book) then it may be an issue. I added a kleat (a straight piece of quarter round wood) to mine just because I am handy that way. But I would suggest that you just purchase a piece of rubberized drawer liner that can be found at Wal-Mart, Shopko, Target, Jo-Ann fabrics, Or Michaels arts/crafts, Hobby Lobby and/or Ace Hardware. That should then accommodate any portable device on your new table,...and you don't have to be a carpenter like me. Hope this helps. P.S. this was the only table we found that is easy to put together and to operate. Especially if you only have use of one hand like my Dad does.

My daughter uses it as a homework desk. The storage compartments are about 5 inches deep. The little cubes are only about 3 inches wide. The slats on the left side of the storage area are perfect for folders. I would think that as long as you used thin little baskets, it could be used as a vanity.

Yes, I use mine as a side table most of the time. But I wanted an extra seat if needed. It serves dual purpose perfectly.

The surface is ok for that purpose, but it is the worst lap desk I have ever owned....too small and the beanbag part is too thin. I purchased another one from bed bath and beyond

Yes, it would work great as a computer desk! Just make sure you have a very low chair, as the desk is not as high as it looks in the picture. I use it for doing work on my laptop.
