Anyone who works from home knows that having the right equipment can increase your chances of success. One of the most important tools in your home office is your desk. Here's pick one that's right for you.
Instructions
1. Evaluate your needs. Make a list of tasks you anticipate doing at your desk. You also should make a list of items you'll be using at your desk. For instance, consider whether you'll need your desk to accommodate your computer. Determine if your desk must have filing capabilities. If your home office will be open to the public, you may want a desk that is aesthetically pleasing.
2. Measure your work area. If it's a small office, you'll need to look at compact desks, perhaps with hutches. If it's a larger area, L-shaped desks might be an option.
3. Consider that being comfortable while working makes you more effective, and that the right desk might increase your efficiency. You may want to spend more money if your desk can contribute to your bottom line. Bonus: If you work from home, this desk is a potential write off.
4. Look online. Search various office furniture websites online for ideas as to what's available and price ranges. Getting an idea as to what's available and their pricing allows you to more effectively shop in person.
5. Shop in person. Go to various office furniture stores and look. Places to shop for a desk include Office Depot, Office Max, Furniture Row or Staples. Compare prices and options to what you found online.
6. Ergonomics is everything. If you're not comfortable at your desk, you're going to probably going to cry about how tight your shoulders and back feel. Spend a little extra on an ergonomic desk.
