So you are working from home now, either for someone else or for yourself in your own business. You realise that, instead of making do, it’s time to turn a room or even a space into an office as this has become long term.
So what do you need if you are working from a home office? First of all comes the desk. This post is all about desks from 3 different companies.

That sounds simple doesn’t it? But there are so many different types, sizes and heights available now. Do you want a desk to stand at or do you prefer to sit? Perhaps you want the option of doing either?
Your desk should be right for your needs. Have enough space for what you need to put on it for your work and fit the space you have. Hopefully it will also look good. A pleasant work space makes for better working.
Office space in a used room
Let’s look at what you can get to make a comfortable office space while you work that can tuck away when not required to work.
How about a desk that folds up neatly when you are done so the room can go back to its original purpose.

Deskmate Stan
This is an accessory for your desk, worktop, the kitchen or dining table. in the spare room or pretty much anywhere. This is ideal if you prefer to stand all the time or as a change from sitting if you only want to stand part of the time. This has become a very popular way to work as people realise that it is not always good to sit for long periods of time.
In a usual office setting people tend to move about getting things they need and interacting with others. So very often you don’t remain at your desk in one position for many hours. Working from home though is different. You might get up to get coffee but that is about it for many people.

Loving this one.

However, this handy little workstation solves that problem in style. On the tilting surface the design acts as ventilation for the laptop.
There is a very handy little draw and space to use your mouse or put your phone and a drink. Plus it folds up neatly when not in use.

These desks are getting very popular now and this is a fine example.

It will go from 72 cms to 121 cms at the touch of a button. The metal frame supports a tempered glass top for a stylish desk and has a useful draw too.
The desk will need to be plugged in as it is electric, so will need a plug point nearby. Though we tend to put desks near sockets anyway due to the electrical equipment. (Adding this info as I noted a question concerning this on the site).

FLEXISPOT Black Height Adjustable 35 inch Stand up Desk Converter
Now this one is to convert your original desk into a standing desk.
I like this because it has the space for 2 monitors which is very useful. I know quite a few people who are using 2 or 3 monitors now, it is so much easier to keep track of everything at a glance, rather than flipping through to look for the right window you need.
It is easier and more efficient I think and others have said the same. Some say you can’t look/focus on more than one screen at a time, which is true. But with two open you are aware of the second one and know the minute anything changes so you can then focus on that if need be.
It is good to be able to stand for a while to relieve muscles and tension.
From the website:
- SPACIOUS WORK SURFACE – The 89 x 59 CM desktop is large enough for up to dual monitor/laptop setups, combined with a 86 x 32 CM keyboard tray that raises in sync with the work surface for easy, intuitive operation.

What do you think?
Did you like my choices for desks when you are working from a home office? Do you have something completely different that you find brilliant to use. Which desk did you prefer and would you buy it?
I really like the metal and glass one. It does have a big price tag but in the long run will last longer. Actually, I like them all for one reason or another. I especially like eco friendly options but when it comes down to it, regardless of style or price, we have to go for the work station that most suits the needs we have while working.

Good day, I’m pleased to come across this important information. Working from home is convenient for anyone, and we surely need some useful products to help us in growing our businesses. I’m thrilled to come across the working from the home office requirements you outlined, which I agree with you hundred percent that they are the best products we need. This is helpful.
Thank you for your comments. I agree that working from home is convenient especially in these uncertain times. Anything that makes th process easier and more comfortable has to be good.
Great desk for working from home. I can see that all of them have their unique and distinct features in some ways. Like the Deskmate Stan I can choose to work while standing, pretty because I may be doing other things that requires working around. I encounter this sometimes. It would be so uncomfortable sitting and getting up every minutes. I would love to add this to my working environment.
Thank you for your comments Leon. It does make life easier if you are constantly getting up and sitting down. I think they have become popular in recent years due to the health benefits as well.
Great desks! These are that kind of products people don’t really think about when it comes to working from home. Having the right desk to fit your needs is very important to our general well being. We should pay more attention to it. And so will I in the future.
Thank you for commenting Lydia. The right desk is very important I agree. Luckily with so much variety available everyone should be able to find one that suits their needs.
