How to choose a computer desk

Pick the shape that fits the room

  • Straight desks: the simplest option for a study nook or bedroom wall.
  • Corner or L-shaped desks: room for two screens or a separate writing area.
  • Desks with drawers, shelves or a bookshelf cabinet: handy when there is no room for separate storage.
  • Height adjustable desks: let you switch between sitting and standing.

Get the size right

For one monitor and a keyboard, a width of around 100 to 120 cm works for most people. Two screens or a laptop plus a monitor need more. A depth of around 60 cm lets you sit a comfortable distance from the screen. Measure your space and leave room to pull the chair out.

Materials and finish

Most desks here have engineered wood tops on metal or steel frames. White is the most common colour, followed by black and wood tones. A steel frame is steadier if you lean on the desk, and it is worth checking the maximum load if you run a heavy monitor setup.

Small extras that help

Some desks add LED lighting or wheels. If your laptop sits low, a laptop stand lifts it closer to eye level. Add office supplies, a bookcase or a floating shelf to finish the space.

Price guide

Simple desks start from about $45, with most around $100 to $150. Corner desks, storage-heavy designs and motorised desks cost more.

Computer Desks: common questions

What size computer desk do I need?

For a single monitor and keyboard, about 100 to 120 cm wide and 60 cm deep suits most setups. Go wider for two screens and deeper if you use a large monitor so it sits far enough from your eyes.

Are there computer desks with drawers?

Yes. Several desks have built-in drawers, shelves or a side cabinet. Use the storage filter to narrow the range, and check drawer sizes on the product page if you need to fit files or a printer.

Is a corner desk a good idea for a small room?

Often yes. An L-shaped desk uses a corner that is otherwise wasted and gives you more surface for the same floor space. Measure both walls and check which side the return sits on before ordering.

How much weight can a computer desk hold?

It depends on the model, so check the maximum load on the product page. Steel-framed desks usually handle monitors, a tower and accessories well. If you plan to clamp on a monitor arm, also check the desktop thickness.

Do computer desks come assembled?

Most arrive flat-packed and need assembly with the included fittings. Allow some time, and a second pair of hands for larger corner or storage desks. Check the product page for what is included in the box.

Should I get a standing desk instead?

If you work long hours at the desk, a height adjustable desk lets you change position through the day. Use the adjustable height filter to find them. If budget or space is tight, a fixed desk with a good supportive chair still does the job.
