"The Welsh school desk from the 1920s was a bench model for two students. However, chairs weren’t attached to the bench, so this allowed the addition of more chairs when needed.

The school desk work surface was also a cover for the student storage space. That provided a sense of privacy and autonomy for students in European and American classrooms, improving the situation from previous decades."
