Promising review: "This desk adapter is just what I needed in my work from home space! It was so easy to assemble and feels very sturdy. I’ve seen other products like this that you have to crank, but this is an easy to use lever that requires minimal effort. I also like that it can go flat on the surface. When I’m done with work for the day, I slide my Flexispot right in the closet, and my desk is back to being my vanity! It’s perfect for our apartment lifestyle where every inch counts. Also, after two days of use, I can already notice a difference in my back, neck and shoulders. Very ergonomic. Can’t recommend this product enough!" —Russell Thistle

Promising review: "My work laptop has a stand on the back and I was worried it would scratch up my new desk.

It keeps my Apple Watch secured and I can utilize various charging cables (provided by seller) for my different devices! The bamboo is great quality, too — sturdy but smooth. Would recommend this to those looking to simplify their charging uses!" —Julie

Promising review: "I work from home and type all day. Although I don't think I have full blown arthritis, my hands are usually cold in the morning and my joints do ache a bit until they warm up! The gloves are breathable, but add a small layer of insulation that helps warm my joints faster! These gloves absolutely helped ease the discomfort, and having open fingertips helps so I don't lose tactile function while wearing them!" —Eric
Get a pair from Amazon for $12.97 (available in three sizes).
13. An adjustable rolling desk because it'll actually give you options when it comes to a WFH spot. A plush couch? Done. A well-lit reading corner? Done. This space-saving baby is fully adjustable (you can move it up and down) and has wheels on the bottom, so you can place it wherever you want.
Promising review: "I love this table! I finally have a place to work in my small apartment, and I can lower it to become a side table when I'm not using it for anything else. It is slightly slanted forward, which makes working from my couch easy — important since I don't have a desk chair. Sturdy and easy to put together once you know what you're doing. Hint: The wheels screw into the end plugs. Didn't notice this at first and spent the better part of five minutes trying to remove the nut." —J. Ward
Get it from Amazon for $62.80+ (available in six styles and eight colors).
14. Or this rolling desk bike so you can squeeze in some cardio while you WFH. It has a stand for your laptop, so you can pedal and type emails at the same time. Save some space and buy this piece of equipment that doubles up as a place for you to type, write, and hop on calls.

This rolling desk bike has eight resistance levels, so you can easily customize your workout while you sit and complete work-related things.
Promising review: "I bought this desk because I have been working from home and it's freezing outside, so I haven't been able to walk as much. This is perfect for me! You can adjust the resistance level from extremely easy to where you don't even notice you're pedaling to way more resistance where it feels like a workout. If you have it at -1 it almost feels like you're coasting. I keep it between 2–4 (goes up to 8+) while working for some resistance but to where I can still concentrate without thinking about pedaling. I have also used this while journaling, online reading, and watching TV." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $479.99 (available in two colors).
15. Powerbeats Pro wireless earbuds because you can easily tune out your fur baby's barking, footsteps, and neighborhood traffic. You won't have to be like "sorry can you please repeat that again?" whenever you're on a Zoom call in your bedroom, living room, or kitchen.

Promising review: "I bought these specifically because I was starting to work from home and need to be hands free to also type on my computer while talking on the phone.

16. Adjustable shelves just begging to organize your messy desk. Get everything from your tiny succulents to your textbooks organized in minutes thanks to this storage structure that's *chef's kiss* perfect for your small-ish work space.
Promising review: "I didn’t really measure my desk correctly and let’s just say this surpasses my expectation for storage. Though I had to give up an extra compartment and slide the two pieces together rather than spread out like in the picture, it still offers a great amount of space for my school books. The color is an off-white eggshell type. Looks beautiful and minimalistic." —Emma
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four colors).
17. A compact ergonomic chair that literally ~has your back~ thanks to a supportive structure and sponge material. Your spine, tush, and shoulders will feel *amazing* during your WFH time.
Promising review: "So far so good, the chair fits perfectly into the limited 'office area' that I have allotted for in my apartment. It was meticulously packed and the instructions were easy (at least for me) to follow. Assembly went reasonably well, it took a little maneuvering to line up the seat with the frame to insert the connecting bolts but it worked out. (hint: line up the rear seat holes to the frame first). I’m not tough on furniture so I expect this chair to last. The chair, once assembled is comfortable, provides ample support to the back, and is certainly worth the money." —AFVet
Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in eight colors).
18. Or a velvet desk chair, because you'll feel a little fancy while you're all curled up with a cup of coffee, a laptop, and your mini side table during work hours.
Promising review: "I put it together in like 10 minutes. Very comfortable. Wanted to use in my other area for extra seat near couch, but I liked it so much I put it for my work from home desk area. Great to sit for long periods not too hard and not too soft. Got another chair with ottoman for that spot." —Yelena Tsurkan
Get it from Amazon for $155.99+ (available in 29 colors).
19. Orrrrr this foldable desk chair that'll take up minimal space and be comfy to sit in. You can adjust the seat height and tilt position, plus it easily folds up and fits under a desk when you're not using it.
Promising review: "Why didn't furniture designers think of this sooner? Since the pandemic, I've had to turn part of our bedroom into a pop-up office for working at home, and this chair serves us perfectly. By day, I can work in comfort, but when my husband needs to maneuver around his side of the bed, I can fold and stash." —SF Steph
Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in two colors).
20. A chic desk organizer so you can easily find pencils, pens, sticky notes, paperclips, and squishy stress balls whenever you need them. Plus, there's also a roomy top compartment for mail that's currently taking over your coffee table/"home office."
Promising review: "I had to buy a desk due to teleworking and I decided to go with rose gold accents. I bought this organizer and it still remains one of my favorite things I've bought! It's big enough to hold a bunch of pens, Post-It notes, notepads/notebooks and more. I also love that it doesn't take up much space while still holding a ton. Well worth it!" —Mandy
Get it from Amazon for $21.97 (available in four colors).

This little gadget has three brightness levels (low, medium, and high) for your filming/photographing needs. Reviewers also like it for creating content in the evening or nighttime when there's little or no sunlight.
Promising review: "With all of the meetings I'm involved with now, I needed better lighting in my home office so that I didn't look so washed out on screen. This little guy works really well. It has three levels of brightness to choose from and it clips onto the side of the computer monitor, which I like a lot because I can place it whereever I want to get the best lighting. Only downside is the length of time the light will last once unplugged from the USB port. I've found on the 3rd light setting (high) it will last about an hour or so before I need to make sure it's plugged back into the port. However, for the purpose I wanted to use it for, it works well." —Traci
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
23. Mountain bookends to keep your favorite reads and textbooks propped up on a shelf. Ditch the stack of books on your desk for these beauties that'll look so stunning next to a computer monitor or file organizer.

25. A soft footrest so you can prop your feet up and avoid cramping while you type on your computer. (You're def going to want to give those heels and toes some sweet, sweet relief during the workday!)
Promising review: "This is my first time using a soft footrest versus a hard plastic one, and I love it! Now that I am working from home full time, I was desperate for some ergonomic help, and this foot rest suited my needs perfectly. I especially love the material, it feels so delightful on bare feet! Having the option to remove the bottom cushion allows for flexibility with my chair height." —Kim K.
Get it from Amazon for $44.67.
26. A digital download of WFH-themed wall art with cheeky statements that basically sum up your day-to-day of typing from a comfy spot (AKA the couch), loathing Zoom calls, and debating about snacks.

Promising review: "Love this. I have many items to plug in now that I have to office at home. There’s plenty of room to plug in two laptops, a computer, a monitor, and my Alexa safely. It’s a little bulkier than I was expecting but that is due to the room your items will need." —Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $16.97.
28. A durable, low-pile boho-inspired area rug so perfect for the bare floor below your compact desk, sofa, and weird in between area you've officially turned into a pop-up office. It'll brighten up whatever room you're working in and work great with desk chairs.
Promising review: "I recently started working from home and needed something to put under my new office chair to protect the floor. I didn't want to spend a ton and was tempted to buy a cheap plastic office chair mat thing, but then I found this and for the price it couldn't be beat. I actually really like it. It works great in the space and was a great value." —Marissa C
Get it from Amazon for $39.19+ (available in four shapes and 26 sizes).
29. A folding wall organizer to stash important documents in because it's about time you free up your desk from paper piles. It comes with a bunch of colorful compartments too, making it so simple to keep everything in order.
Promising review: "This is awesome and I love it. I work from home and I’ve been trying to keep my desk free from papers. This thing is awesome! The bottom pocket is large enough for me to store my day planner. I mounted it to the wall with a Command hook and it was easy-peasy! An attractive and functional way to sort and store paper. I love having all the papers I need readily available and visible so it reminds me that they're there, but not they are not overtaking my desk and irritating me." —Mandy
Get it from Amazon for $13.58+ (available in three colors).
30. A smart reusable notebook so you can bid farewell to the stack of journals taking over your WFH zone and keep a digital log instead. This cool device saves memos and sends them to Dropbox and iCloud.
Promising review: "I was given my first Rocketbook by a family member as a gift. The app and the ability to send sheets directly to email, Google Drive, Dropbox or other places is one of the best features. By simply naming your pages and setting the destination you can create a system for storing notes that makes sense instead of having notes in a notebook that are stuck there forever." —BrandonS
Get it from Amazon for $27.98.
31. A pastel mug warmer that'll keep your cup of coffee warm, even if you forgot about said coffee while catching up on a Slack thread, sending emails, and attending a never-ending block of virtual meetings. At least you'll have a hot beverage within arm's reach of your laptop.
Promising review: "Like so many people, I often get so involved in my work that I forget to drink my coffee so when I do reach for it, it is cold. This mug warmer has changed all that. I put my coffee on it when I walk into my home office and no matter how distracted I get, when I want a sip of coffee it is at the perfect temperature for me. I typically use it at the highest level of heat. It fits nicely on the corner of my desk and matches all my desk accessories. I did notice that it does not work as well on one very tall mug I have, but other than that one it is good for mugs of all sizes. I would highly recommend this cup warmer to anyone who is tired of cold coffee at work." —Rev Maria
Get it from Amazon for $23.79+ (available in eight colors).

This tech accessory works with Chrome, PC, and Mac laptops (13-17 inches), and fastens to them with durable metal plates that are also easy to take off. The display also rotates, just in case you need to adjust your laptop setup view.
Promising review: "I’ve been using the SideTrak for a week now and it has been an absolute game-changer for me. The instructions were easy to follow, and installation a breeze. The SideTrak was first whipped into action during a 2 hour long ride in my car as a passenger, and I was utterly impressed with how much I got done with ease, in that amount of time! Additionally, I’ve gotten a lot more use out of the SideTrak than I imagined— such as when I’m lounging in my backyard, kitchen, living room, pool... anywhere outside of the room in my office, the possibilities are endless! I’m all about efficiency and maximizing my time and the SideTrak has contributed largely in those areas. Thank you." —Ratana K.
Get it from Amazon for $299.99.
33. And an adorable ladybug vacuum to clean up tiny messes in your WFH area. Crumbs and eraser remains stuck in between your monitor, laptop, and desk surface will be HISTORY.
Promising review: "I got this mini vacuum cleaner so that I can keep my office desk neat and tidy, even with some plants on it. And it works! It's little (about the size of the palm of my hand), but picks up dust and small chunks of dirt without issue. Plus, it's cute — that always helps." —Melissa A.
Get it from Amazon for $10.98 (available in two colors).
