How to choose a desk

Pick the right type

  • Compact writing and computer desks: small footprints, around 80 to 100 cm wide, for a bedroom, study nook or one-screen setup.
  • Corner and L-shaped desks: extra surface for two monitors and paperwork, tucked into a corner so the middle of the room stays clear.
  • Electric standing desks: a motorised frame lifts and lowers the top so you can swap between sitting and standing.
  • Laptop sit-stand desks: small, portable, height adjustable stands for working from the couch or swapping rooms.
  • Studio desks: layouts with extra shelves for speakers, keyboards and audio gear.

Width and depth

Around 100 to 120 cm wide suits a single monitor. Go for 140 cm or more, or an L-shape, if you run two screens. A depth of 60 cm or more keeps the screen at a comfortable distance.

Storage and moving it

Desks with drawers or side shelves keep cables, stationery and paperwork off the top. A few desks have wheels, which helps if you clean under them often or share the desk between rooms.

Materials and weight

Most tops are engineered wood in white, wood tone or black, on a steel or metal frame. Steel frames feel steadier under heavy monitors. Check the weight capacity on the listing, especially for standing desks.

Price

Compact desks start from about $50, with most around $150 to $250. Electric standing desks and large corner desks cost more. For kids' study spaces, see kids furniture, or browse the wider office furniture range.

Desks: common questions

What size desk do I need for two monitors?

Allow at least 140 cm of width for two standard monitors side by side, or choose an L-shaped corner desk. A depth of 60 cm or more keeps the screens at a comfortable distance. Check the desk dimensions on the listing against your monitors and keyboard.

Is an electric standing desk worth it?

If you spend most of the day at a desk, being able to switch between sitting and standing helps you move more and change posture. An electric frame does the lifting at the press of a button. Check the height range and weight capacity to make sure it suits you and your gear.

What is a laptop sit-stand desk?

It is a small, portable desk with an adjustable height, made for a laptop rather than a full monitor setup. You can use it seated, standing, or beside the couch, and move it between rooms. It suits light work and small spaces rather than a full home office.

What desk fits in a small bedroom or study nook?

Look for a compact writing or computer desk around 80 to 100 cm wide and about 50 cm deep. Desks with drawers or a shelf help keep the top clear. Measure the wall space and allow room behind to pull a chair out.

How much weight can a desk hold?

It varies by design. Steel-framed and electric standing desks usually list a higher weight capacity than small writing desks. Add up your monitors, computer and other gear, and pick a desk rated comfortably above that total.

Are desks easy to assemble?

Most arrive flat packed with instructions and fittings. Compact desks go together quickly, while corner desks and electric standing desks take longer and are easier with two people, especially when lifting the top onto the frame.
