And now that many people are working from home, a Seville Classics Tempered Glass Electric Standing Desk is a great addition to a WFH office. I knew that it was an ajustable height desk, but wondered how that work.

So, with the push of a button, the black tempered glass desk can be raised for standing work, and lowered to sit down. The desk also includes a drawer for storage and two USB charging ports.

Sitting for long periods of time can make you uncomfortable. However, this Aylio Coccyx Foam Seat Cushion can provide much-needed relief. It’s great for lower back pain, which is important if you sit at your desk for long periods of time. The velvety foam seat cushion is comfortable and supportive. It’s also lightweight and has a convenient handle for transporting, so you could also use it in your car, or while sitting in other chairs in our home. As a germaphobe, one of my favorite features is the ability to unzip the velour cover and toss it in the washing machine.
When you’re using your laptop in a desktop scenario (external monitor, keyboard, and mouse), you don’t need it taking up valuable space. Although it’s slim, thats typically 13 inches of real estate that you could be using for something else. If you’re looking for home office accessories, this Twelve South Space-Saving Vertical Desktop Stand allows you to keep your laptop off your desk, while it’s gently cradled in this stand. And not only does it save space. Since your laptop is elevated, you don’t have to worry about spilling coffee on it. In addition, this position helps to improve the laptop’s airflow. The vertical stand, designed exclusively for MacBooks, also has a cable-catch feature to keep your cables neatly organized.
If your desk isn’t as tall as you’d like, you may experience neck pain and eye strain from staring down at your external monitor or laptop. However, this Circuit City Monitor Stand can alleviate some of that pain by raising your monitor several inches higher. In addition, your keyboard can be placed under the monitor stand when not in use. The monitor stand can also be used to raise your laptop. And since it can hold up to 50 pounds, it can also hold your printer.

Clean air is a requirement in your home office. However, it’s not practical to lug your heavy air purifier around the house. That’s where this betterair Biotica 800 Air Purifier comes in handy. My neighbors smoke and I noticed an immediate (and positive) difference in the air’s quality. I also appreciated that the air purifier didn’t take up a lot of space. This is a different type of air purifier in that it uses an aerial dispersion system that releases Enviro-Biotics (all natural, chemical free) to remove allergens from the air. You can either place it on a flat surface or mount it on the wall, and it works to clean up to 800 square feet.
Even though you’re working from home, it may be necessary to conduct virtual meetings with colleagues and clients. The Puppy Cube All-in-1 Touchscreen Mini Projector does everything a bulky full-screen projector does. However, it does it without being heavy and without taking up valuable desktop space, since the Puppy Cub only weights 3.5 pounds. All you need is a flat, blank space (like a wall) to create a 23-inch interactive touchscreen. And in addition to work activities, you can also use it watch movies and let your kids play video games. Supported resolutions include 1080p, 2K, and 4K, and the projector connects via WiFi, Bluetooth, Airplay, HDMI, DLNA, and USB 3.0.
This Viotek 34” Ultrawide Curved Computer Monitor is perfect for a variety of functions, including working from home, audio and video editing, and gaming. The ultra-wide display features a 21:9 aspect ratio and 2560x1080p resolution, and the deep curvature creates a wider field of view and enhanced depth perception. I received one to review, and really liked the PIP/PBP functions that allow you to display two connected sources on the same screen. The screen also tilts, and can be mounted on the wall, or on the included stand. The monitor is also available in other screen sizes, ranging from 29” to 49” and it is also available in 1440p resolution.
