It’s very, very rare to find a home office that doesn’t have a computer of some kind. The use of word-processing programs and Internet access alone has become so widespread that you now expect to find computers everywhere and especially in a home office. A computer desk is an important piece of furniture for any home office as it’s going to form the cornerstone of your working environment. Here’s some tips for the next time you go shopping for a computer desk.

A height adjustable desk is the pinnacle of computer desks for your office. Why? Because we all come in different shapes and sizes and one desk generally doesn’t fit all. Having a desk that’s the wrong height can make working on it an absolute nightmare. Not only that but it can lead to bad posture while working which in turn can lead to ongoing back problems. If you can’t find a height adjustable desk then make sure you have more than ample leg room underneath the desk; your legs should not be cramped or restricted in any way.

Some computer desks come with a sliding tray for your keyboard and mouse. These are ideal when you’re working with limited space but just make sure that your keyboard is between 28 and 30 inches above the floor. Any lower than that and you’re going to wind up slumped over your keyboard whilst typing which is going to lead to back problems and, potentially, repetitive strain injury (RSI).
