The Perfect Modern Desk Chairs for Every Budget, Style, and Body
When you first start working from home, it’s easy to fall into the habit of working from your dining table – or worse, your sofa or bed. But, creating an ergonomically correct home office setup has a wealth of stress-reducing, productivity-increasing benefits.
All of the products listed below come from direct-to-consumer brands. By selling directly to consumers rather than through third-party retailers (who take a cut of profits and add costs to consumers), these brands can produce higher-quality home office furniture and pass savings on to consumers like you and me.
Direct-to-Consumer Home Office Desks
Branch Office Desk, $495
The Branch Office Desk
Branch was founded in 2018 with a vision to make high-quality office furniture accessible to everyone.
For its first few years, it focused on outfitting commercial offices for businesses like Breather, Baron Fig, and Tumblr. Now, it sells its furniture directly to consumers to help bring professional-quality home office furniture.
The Branch Office Desk is one of our favorites. Its minimal design makes it look like part of the decor, and it features flared legs, height-adjustable feet, and a brushed cable port.
The desk also comes with a choice of a white or woodgrain top and polished or powder-white legs. The desk’s steel frame and anodized legs are built to support up to 650 pounds of weight, and it’s backed by the Branch Warranty for ten years.
