Home Office
My edit of sustainable home office furniture in the UK: desks and office chairs that are comfortable to work at and good to look at once the working day is done. I look for solid construction and materials that will last, because a well-made desk should see you through years of use. Check each retailer’s own details on materials and dimensions before you buy.
What I look for · 01
The chair matters most
If you work from home most days, prioritise an adjustable chair: seat height, lower back support and armrests that tuck under the desk. Your feet should rest flat with your knees at roughly a right angle.
What I look for · 02
Desk height and depth
A desk around 72 to 76cm high suits most people. Allow at least 60cm of depth if you use a monitor, so the screen can sit about an arm's length away.
What I look for · 03
Materials and cables
Solid wood and good quality plywood last far longer than chipboard. Built-in cable management keeps a small workspace calm, especially in a room that doubles as a living space.
