FAQ
What desk size works in a small home office or box room?+
A desk around 100-110cm wide and 50-60cm deep fits most UK box rooms while still leaving space for a monitor and keyboard. Wall-mounted or corner desks free up further floor space in very tight rooms.
Is a standing desk worth it for home working?+
If you work from home most days, alternating between sitting and standing can reduce back and neck strain over a full working day. Look for a dual-motor lift and a weight capacity that comfortably covers your monitor, PC and desk accessories.
