About this product
Yakka Standing Desk — Encouraging Movement and Focus in the Flexible Classroom
The Yakka Standing Desk is a durable and flexible solution that supports active learning and dynamic classroom setups. Designed as part of the Learn by Koskela collection, the standing version of the Yakka Desk allows students to move more freely, shift posture throughout the day, and engage more physically with their learning environment — all without compromising on durability or usability.
The benefits of standing desks in education are well established, including improved focus, reduced sedentary time, and better classroom engagement. At Koskela, we’ve made a deliberate decision to offer separate seating and standing desk formats, avoiding adjustable mechanisms that may break down over time. This ensures each desk is robust, long-lasting, and low-maintenance.
When ordering for a classroom, we recommend selecting a majority of either standing or seated desks for group-based learning, and a smaller number of the other type to support focused individual work or breakout zones. This mix provides students with choice and autonomy, helping them learn in a way that suits their needs.
Like the seated version, the Yakka Standing Desk is designed with modularity and movement in mind. The triangle-shaped top allows for a variety of configurations in a classroom setting — from solo work to collaborative clusters — while the three-legged frame with castors makes it easy to reposition as needed.

Product information
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.
In the eastern states and territories of Australia (NSW, ACT, VIC & QLD) the lead time in 8-10 weeks. For all other states and territories, the lead time is 10-12 weeks.
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.
