It can't be that expensive of a desk if it has sharp edges. Just sand it, or child proof it like @emosun suggested.

Really though, you should be fixing the root of the issue. Your posture. You shouldn't be making contact with the edge of the desk at all if you have proper form.

Move your wrist further towards the center of your desk so it's not right on the edge.

 

Honestly, if you're this worried about the aesthetic of your desk, there isn't much we can do...

You can choose whatever color you want and you have a wrist rest
