With a drop-down door that serves as your working desk, this can be an ultimate solution if you need a desk and cabinets for your office supplies and documents. This can be very easy to squeeze into a cramped space.

This might not be comfortable for taller people or those with longer legs. You might have to open the bottom cabinet a bit to give way for longer legs. And since the working desk is a drop-down door of the cabinet, you have to store your laptop elsewhere or in one of the bottom storage after working.
But this can be a lifesaver if you’re living in lofts or dormitories.
