Where does your teen do homework?

I'm looking into getting a desk/ sorting out our space. At the moment Teen1 does homework on the breakfast bar or on the dining table. Which is subject to "can you make space for dinner". (Almost)Teen2 will need some space too. And they get so much homework! I'm keeping homework out of the bedrooms (too small & too many distractions).
Obvs homework area is subject to limitations of space: how do you do it?

Ah I covet your multiuse hot-desking room, BrokenWing!

I miss books and paper! I find all the online stuff a bit intangible. SleepingSloth: do you find the school "trains" them to get serious about homework?

Dining room table (so I can make sure he isn't playing games) or sitting on the floor in his bedroom. He has a perfectly decent desk but prefers to sit on the floor like a goblin.

As the only child at home, DC2 (13) has the run of both single bedrooms and uses one for sleeping/dressing and the other for homework, gaming and music. It sounds like spoiling but we’re moving house soon, so it wasn’t worth redecorating.

The dining room table is everybody’s place for craft, messy artwork home admin, group projects with friends and homework that needs (ahem) supervision.

I think once they start secondary they ought to have a dedicated place for homework. It’s their job, after all. Then there can be no “my mum needed the table” excuses.

Mine each have an A3 size clipboards and usually use them or one of the large lap whiteboards to write on. We've tried tables and similar, but they seem to prefer being able to carry it around and often use the whiteboards to outline (and with my oldest, having his spelling checked) before putting it to paper.

Most of their homework requires the computer for creating documents with pictures or the recommended places for research or study and other reasons and that plus sometimes needing space for poster projects, it mostly happens in the living room with our computer. This is causing a few issues as they're getting more and more of it, but so far it's been working pretty well.

DS on kitchen table. DD on small table in corner of kitchen.
Ikea Billy bookcase in kitchen to take all folders/text books for both.

Both have v small bedrooms with no computers, so they have always studied downstairs.

Day to day, in their rooms. Exam times or if they're procrastinating (dd1 I'm looking at you), in the dining room. My dining room is a study until after exams but it's worth it.

DS1 used to do his homework at a desk in his room (I used to wonder how much work got done but he is now doing a post-grad Uni course as well as his full time job so it was obviously enough )

DD (y10 Aus) gets stacks of homework. She tends to cover the sofa in the family room with her stuff and work there most days, she says she likes feeling like she's not isolated and she can see the kitchen from there. Other times she is on her laptop on her bed (despite having a desk in her room).

DS2 always does his Uni work at his desk in his room.

Many thanks, everyone for the feedback!
(Snows: I love how he's now in post-grad study, desk worked then!)
Good to know we are not the only kitchen table/ breakfast bar perchers.
It's defo a personality thing as well as a space thing.

The decks have been cleared, dining room table extended, a decent chair ordered and a Billy (Ikea, you know the one) is on the way.
