That sounds like a smart use of space, @Alice! For a sturdy fold-down desk, I found that choosing one with strong metal brackets makes a huge difference - wood alone can wobble too much, especially if you’re working daily. Also, mounting a slim, vertical cable organizer right under the desk or along the wall can keep cords tucked away and out of the walkway without adding bulk. About desk height, since you’re by a window, try to measure your usual chair height and add a bit for comfortable elbow angle, then mark that on the wall before installing. Sometimes adjustable brackets can help fine-tune the height, too. And if you want to keep the area feeling open, a light-colored desk surface with minimal clutter really helps - it tricks the eye into seeing more space. That window spot sounds perfect for natural light, which can really make a tiny workspace feel less claustrophobic. For cable management, I’ve seen people use adhesive cable clips running vertically along the wall or even a slim cable raceway that blends with the wall color - keeps everything neat and out of the way in narrow spaces. About desk height, since you’re limited by the wall, a good trick is to get an adjustable chair or a stool with height control so you can fine-tune your seating rather than the desk. Also, a fold-down desk with sturdy hinges and a locking mechanism is key to avoid wobble when you’re typing or writing. Some desks even have a small ledge to keep things from sliding off when folded up. Did you consider a magnetic or velcro strip on the underside of the desk for lightweight items like pens or a small notebook? It might help keep the surface clear without adding clutter.
