More and more people work in their homes. This is specificity of work in associated with a number of benefits but also imposes on the employee the obligation to arrange the workplace by themselves. Even when doing household chore it‘s good to have your own workplace. Using standard home furniture, e.g. in the living room or kitchen, can not only be tiring and unconfortable but also negatively affect your health, in particular the skeletal and circulatory system. Therefore, the right desk and chair are essential. The shape, size and specifics of making this furniture is important not only for aesthetic reasons but mostly for the comfort of use.
Furnishing a home office
A home office is not always a separate room. Very often it is just a separate place in the living room or bedroom, where the employee can calmly carry out their professional duties. In any case, the heart of a home office is a desk, and it is this piece of furniture that should be primarily focused on. The desk affects the convenience and comfort of work, and therefore also well-being and performance of the employee.
When choosing the right desk, it‘s worth paying attention primarily to the deskop. The size of a standard desk should be 120 x 80 cm, but this is quite an individual matter. If you use a computer and some other electronic equipment during work, and in addition to this you are looking through various documents, you should think about a slightly larger desktop with enough space for all items. The height of the desk is another important issue. Theoretically, the desktop should be 3 cm higher than the elbows of the sitting person amd be tilted at 10° to the floor. Standard desks reach a height of approx 72-75 cm. Height-adjustable desks are a great solution for home offices. Why? Many people working at home, admit that although their working hours do not have to be fixed, they often exceed 8 hours. Working for many hours in a sitting position is bad for your health. It is recommended to change position from sitting to standing from time to time, for which height-adjustable desks are perfect. If only the specificity of our duties allows us to diversify our position, it is worth considering buying this model of desk.
