About this product
Wari Folding Desk — Portable, Practical Furniture for Flexible Learning and Events
The Wari Folding Desk is a compact, efficient solution for exams, school events, and dynamic learning situations that require fast setup and pack down. Designed with functionality and durability in mind, this foldable desk supports temporary or high-turnover classroom layouts, where space needs to adapt quickly.
The name Wari comes from the Dharug Aboriginal language of Sydney and means "carry away" — reflecting the desk’s lightweight portability and its role as a go-to option for furniture that’s easy to store, stack, and transport.
With a generously sized white laminate top and a clean plywood-look ABS edge, the Wari desk is both visually refined and easy to clean. The folding steel legs lock and unlock using a simple slide bolt mechanism, providing quick deployment while ensuring a stable, wobble-free surface when in use.
To support efficient storage and movement, a Wari trolley is available — capable of stacking and transporting up to seven desks at once. This makes it an indispensable tool for school administrators organising exams, information nights, or flexible classroom setups.

Koskela furniture can be delivered anywhere in the world and shipping will be calculated when you place an order.
Koskela has an in-house Project & Product team who will manage your delivery; providing Estimated time of Departure (ETD) updates and working with an organisation’s facilities manager or equivalent to ensure the process is as smooth as possible.
For delivery and installation, Koskela uses reusable packaging, which we remove from site to keep using.

Koskela has a faster lead time than average because our products are made in Australia. If you need products in a hurry, just give us a call and we can see what can be done.
We recognise that the long-term durability of Koskela’s furniture is a critical success factor for your project. Throughout Koskela’s 7-year Warranty, if you do require assistance or maintenance, reach out to us and we can visit site and perform a Maintenance Service.
During the visit, our skilled Maintenance team will ensure you are happy with the installation. If any structural defects become apparent during a Maintenance visit, the team will rectify the issue on the spot, or lodge a job and organise its repair within 30 days.
We will create a Maintenance report for you, which itemises your Koskela furniture and makes recommendations for refurbishments that occur due to wear and tear. Ongoing maintenance will improve and extend the quality use of your furniture.
At the core of Koskela’s enviro conscious policy is our commitment to make high-quality products that last for years and can be repaired if something goes wrong. Our products are designed to be the highest standards of quality and functionality. While we believe our furniture will last as long as possible, if something does go wrong, we are here to help.
All Koskela products are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship under conditions of normal and proper usage for 7 years from the date of purchase—this warranty transfers to whoever owns the product. After this time, if something does go wrong, you can contact Koskela customer service and we’ll let you know if we can fix it for a reasonable cost.
