Working from home is much easier with a proper setup. A desk at the right height and a supportive chair can make the difference between finishing the day comfortably and finishing it with a sore back.
This category includes writing desks, computer desks, standing and adjustable-height desks, compact desks for small spaces, office chairs and desk storage.
Ergonomics comes first. When you sit, your elbows should rest at about 90 degrees with your forearms level on the desk, and your feet flat on the floor. The top of your screen should be at or slightly below eye level, about an arm's length away. Our free desk and chair height calculator uses your height to recommend the right measurements for sitting and standing.
For chairs, look for adjustable seat height, good lower back support and a seat depth that leaves a few fingers of space behind your knees. Breathable mesh backs stay cooler on long days.
If space is tight, a compact or wall-mounted desk fits in a bedroom or living room corner. A standing desk lets you change position through the day, which many people find helps their energy and posture.
