For most small apartments, the best writing desks are 32 to 40 inches wide and 20 to 24 inches deep. That range holds a laptop, an external keyboard and a notebook without eating a quarter of your floor, and it leaves two to three feet behind the desk for a chair. Below that, a narrow […]

Two monitors change the size of the job a desk has to do. It is no longer a surface for a laptop and a mug, it is a platform that has to hold two 24 or 27 inch screens side by side, a keyboard, a mouse, and often a tower PC underneath, without flexing, wobbling […]

A standing desk converter lifts two monitors, your keyboard and everything else from sitting height to standing height, then lowers it back down again, all on the desk you already own. If you have been comparing risers for a dual monitor setup, the gap between a good one and a frustrating one comes down to […]

Most small desks are sold as if bedrooms were just rooms with a bed in them. That is why half the popular ones arrive and immediately get shoved into a corner where the chair cannot roll out. We spent six weeks comparing the ten best small desks for bedrooms on the two things that actually […]

An L-shaped gaming desk is a corner desk with a long main surface plus a return that runs down the second wall, so you get close to twice the usable area of a straight desk in the same floor space. The layout splits your battlestation into a primary zone for the monitor, keyboard and mouse, […]

The best electric standing desks for home offices in my testing lineup is the SHW 55 x 28, because it is the only one in this group that pairs a real 28 to 45 inch lift with a built-in drawer, a cable tray and desktop grommets, and it has the deepest owner history of any […]

The best office chairs for hardwood floors are the ones fitted with soft polyurethane or rubber-tread casters, roughly Shore A 55A to 70A, not the hard plastic or nylon wheels most chairs ship with. It is the wheels, not the chair, that scratch and dull a wood finish. I work from a room with exposed […]

Yes, kneeling chairs are good for posture, but only if you rotate them with standing and a conventional seat instead of living in one all day. I spent weeks working through ten of them at the same desk, measuring seat heights against my own, and reading the owner complaints buried in the review data. The […]

The best filing cabinets for home offices are the ones that fit your floor plan, your file size and your tolerance for assembly. After six weeks of living with ten of them, the DEVAISE 3 Drawer Mobile File Cabinet earned the top spot for sheer build quality, the NuSparc 2 Drawer won on value and […]
