Product Details

The Marco Apex Series Trapezoid Student Desk (38-2284-MA) is designed to withstand the wear and tear of classrooms. It features a height-adjustable frame that goes from 21" to 30" in 1-inch increments, allowing you to customize it for different age groups or needs. The 1-1/8" thick particleboard top is laminated with a scratch-resistant melamine finish, making it ideal for busy learning environments.

This space-saving desk measures only 36" x 23", maximizing classroom space without compromising functionality. The sturdy steel legs ensure stability, and the PVC edge banding protects the desk from chips and dents. For additional organization, a book box, casters, and backpack hook can be purchased separately. Marco Group backs this desk with a 10-year warranty for your peace of mind.

Benefits of the Marco Apex Series Trapezoid Collaborative Student Desk 36" x 23" Adjustable Height 21"-30" (38-2284-MA)

The Marco Apex Series trapezoid desk delivers collaborative flexibility at one of the best price points in its class. The extra wide 36 by 23 inch top gives students more elbow room than typical trapezoid desks, while still nesting into hexagons, semicircles, and team clusters for group learning. Steel legs adjust from 21 to 30 inches in one inch increments to fit second graders through adults, and the scratch resistant melamine surface with hot melt bonded 3mm PVC edge endures daily wear. GreenGuard certified, made in the USA, and backed for 10 years, these student desks for classroom collaboration stretch budgets further.

  • Wider Top, More Workspace

    At 36 inches across, the Apex top gives each student noticeably more surface than standard collaborative desks, with room for a laptop, notebook, and reference book together. Groups still nest tightly into hexagons and semicircles, keeping the collaborative footprint compact while individual workspace grows meaningfully. More workspace means fewer dropped materials and distractions.

    Team Friendly Trapezoid Geometry

    Two Apex desks join into a hexagon, three form a semicircle, and whole classrooms build honeycomb pods for projects and discussions. When independent work returns, the same student desks for classroom groups split into tidy rows, giving teachers both arrangements from a single furniture purchase. Two proven layouts, one desk, and zero compromises.

    Adjustable Height Steel Legs

    The legs adjust from 21 to 30 inches in one inch increments, covering second grade through adult learners. Facilities staff set heights with basic tools in minutes, so desks follow students up the grades and classrooms stay ergonomically correct as rosters change from year to year. Ergonomics stay correct without any new furniture purchases.

    Scratch Resistant Melamine Surface

    A 1 â…› inch thick top with scratch resistant melamine finish shrugs off pencil pressure, binder rings, and daily disinfecting. Five finishes including fusion maple, solar oak, and asian night pair with nine edge colors, so schools can color code groups or match building wide design standards. Rooms look coordinated and stay that way.

    GreenGuard Certified and USA Made

    Marco builds the Apex Series in the United States, and the desk carries GreenGuard certification for low chemical emissions and healthier indoor air. Nylon swivel glides level each unit on uneven floors and protect surfaces, keeping classrooms quiet as students settle in and out daily. Healthier classrooms start with better building materials.

    Budget Friendly 10 Year Value

    With a 10 year manufacturer warranty and a two to three week lead time, the Apex delivers collaborative student desks for classroom deployments at a price that lets districts outfit more rooms per budget cycle. Book boxes, casters, and backpack hooks are available separately when needed. Value like this outfits more classrooms per budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Apex offers a wider 36 by 23 inch top and adjusts from 21 to 30 inches, while the Premier is 32 by 22 with a 21 to 31 inch range. Both share the same melamine surface, PVC edge, USA construction, and 10 year manufacturer warranty coverage. Choose by top size and height range needed.

Marco rates the Apex for second grade through adult. The one inch height increments let schools match published ergonomic seat and surface guidelines precisely, so the same desk model works in an elementary pod, a middle school science room, or an adult education classroom. One model simplifies purchasing across entire school districts.

Yes. Casters, a book box, and a backpack hook are each sold separately, so schools add mobility and storage only where teaching styles call for it. Rooms that reconfigure daily typically add casters, while departmental classrooms benefit most from book boxes and hooks. Add accessories now or later as classroom needs change.

Desks ship flat with legs detached, and assembly takes just a few minutes per unit with basic tools. Set each leg to the desired height during assembly, check the glides, and the desk is classroom ready. A full room set typically comes together in an afternoon. Most schools finish setup the same day desks arrive.
