| Boilerpipe Text | Pros
Adjustable for sitting or standing
Sleek look
Sturdy build with minimal footprint
Cons
Pretty pricey, though not outrageously so
This standing desk, which is made from sustainable materials in a few finishes, is a standout. Pun intended. It will raise and lower itself to your preferred standing (or sitting) height at the push of a button. You can also customize its size and shape.
The bamboo tabletop is sustainable but sufficiently sturdy at the same time. The footprint isn't massive. And, the overall look is sleek and inoffensive, so it works with any home office or bedroom decor.
Low Height Dimensions
48" x 27" x 43.25"
High Height Dimensions
48" x 27" x 51"
Pros
Beautiful wood options
Attachments make it incredibly practical
Made in the USA
Easy assembly
Cons
Super high price tag
This is a gorgeous, white-oak-and-steel desk, smartly designed with a grid underneath to discreetly attach your chargers and cords to, pegs on which to hang your headphones, and a slot along the back for propping up your phone, tablet, and other materials. You can deck it out further with shelves, stands, and more Artifox accessories, so it's definitely the most customizable of the desks on this list. Personally, I think it's one of the best looking, as well.
The only issue is that you're stuck between choosing a sitting and standing desk. There's not an adjustable option, so make sure you really know what you want.

52" x W 26" X H 42”

Pros
Beautiful Italian Modernist design
Considering the significance, it's a great value
Luxe look and feel
Cons
It's a very large desk; you need space
If you're working from home, I'm going to assume you don't have a big corner office somewhere. Otherwise, I assume you'd be shopping for just "Best Office Desks." Still, if you want to channel that big-boss, high-design vibe in your home office, you have to,
have to
, get with our friends at CB2.
Specifically, I'm thinking of CB2's exclusive reproduction of one of Gianfranco Frattini's first designs. This desk is the perfect representation of Italian Modernism—it's sharp, airy, and forward-thinking. In either the walnut or oak builds, it looks impeccable, and it gives an air that your work
really
matters. (Plus, it's the same price as that Artifox desk.) You know what they say: Buy a desk for the job you want... or however it goes.
Dimensions
86.5" x 31.5" x 28.75"
Pros
At under $100, you can't beat the price
Good options for sizes and looks
Surprisingly sturdy out of the box
Cons
Just a table, really
Don't expect it to last a lifetime
No accouterments, no drawers or cubbies, just a solid surface on four legs. What makes Need's desk a good basic option, aside from the price, is that you can choose from three sizes and four color combinations. If you're not particular about all the accoutrements, this is a great option. One ought to do nicely for your WFH setup.
Dimensions
23.7" x 47" x 29.5"

Pros
Small footprint
Still reasonably stable
Cons
Not as stable as something in the more traditional shape
Humanscale found a way to make a standing desk take up a minimal amount of space. The angled, three-directional legs give the desk plenty of stability, while keeping it mobile and allowing you to use it in a bunch of different spaces. It's not a huge revolution, but if your WFH space changes every year with every new apartment, this gives you some peace of mind.
Lowest Dimensions
16” x 27” x 27.25 "
Highest Dimensions
16” x 27” x 45.4"
Pros
Space saving, but gives you plenty of storage
Can be added on to fit your newer spaces
Cons
Just not the ideal setup; get a proper desk if you have space
If ever there was a shelving system that’s having
a moment
, it’s the ladder shelf. It looks cool, it requires minimal drilling, and it holds a lot of junk. Including your computer, if you go with a style with an extended desk shelf, like this one from West Elm.
Dimensions
28" x 19" x 77"

Pros
Smart, space-saving design
Decent amount of storage in the cabinet portion
Looks great
Cons
Not incredibly stable
If the CB2 Frattini desk is the big boss of this list, this is its executive assistant. No matter how tiny of a studio apartment you live in, if you've got a little wall space, you can have a functional desk.
This clever little murphy desk has an upper cabinet for storing pens and notebooks, and there's a cork board for your desk photos. The desk top has enough space for a laptop, but little else. This isn't a 9 to 5 desk, it's just an option when you don't want to work from the couch or kitchen table. Don't expect it to last a lifetime, but while you're stuck in that shoebox apartment, it'll do.

# The Best Desks For Working From Home in 2024
Whether you've got a little bit of wall space or a full home office to fill.

Settle in. Even if some desk jockeys are back to crowding highways, subway platforms, and Sweetgreen locations across America, some of us have fought tooth and nail to maintain our work-from-home liberties. So, whether it's one work day a week, three work days a week, or every single work day of every single week, we're setting up shop at home. That said, the kitchen table or your lap as you slouch in [bed](https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/g41194064/best-mattresses/) or on the [couch](https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/g37996177/luxury-couches/) aren't valid desktop surfaces. If you've been working from a makeshift non-desk, first buy a [massage gun](https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/health/g35794954/best-massage-guns-reviews/) and start [deadlifting](https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/health/a38684543/amazon-home-gym-workout-equipment-sale/) to sort out your lower back. Then, buy one of these work from home desks. In this new era of hybrid workplaces or whateverthefuck, the time has come to commit.
Much like [shopping for any other furniture online](https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/g35141580/best-online-furniture-stores/), you'll be splitting the difference between what you can afford and what looks the nicest. The following are the best desk options we like for a number of different situations, from the [luxury end of the price spectrum](https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/g38083603/luxury-furniture-brands/) to [affordable Amazon finds](https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/g37808227/best-home-products-amazon/). After all, you could have exactly two square feet of floor space to dedicate to a [very small desk](https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/g35596710/best-small-desks/), or you could be looking to remodel an entire room into an [amenity-rich home office](https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/g33016178/best-home-office-essentials/).
Start your search here. We've gathered up seven of the most functional and best looking work-from-home desks that span the range of cheap and simple to substantial and luxe. Once you get the desk set up, branch off into [office chairs](https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/money/g33456944/best-office-chairs/), [laptop lifts](https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/g33565259/best-laptop-stands/) and [iPad stands](https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/g33595163/best-ipad-stands/), and [accessories](https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/g32982032/cool-desk-accessories/) that'll add some character to your workspace. Like we said, settle in.

### Pros
- Adjustable for sitting or standing
- Sleek look
- Sturdy build with minimal footprint
### Cons
- Pretty pricey, though not outrageously so
This standing desk, which is made from sustainable materials in a few finishes, is a standout. Pun intended. It will raise and lower itself to your preferred standing (or sitting) height at the push of a button. You can also customize its size and shape.
The bamboo tabletop is sustainable but sufficiently sturdy at the same time. The footprint isn't massive. And, the overall look is sleek and inoffensive, so it works with any home office or bedroom decor.

### Pros
- Beautiful wood options
- Attachments make it incredibly practical
- Made in the USA
- Easy assembly
### Cons
- Super high price tag
This is a gorgeous, white-oak-and-steel desk, smartly designed with a grid underneath to discreetly attach your chargers and cords to, pegs on which to hang your headphones, and a slot along the back for propping up your phone, tablet, and other materials. You can deck it out further with shelves, stands, and more Artifox accessories, so it's definitely the most customizable of the desks on this list. Personally, I think it's one of the best looking, as well.
The only issue is that you're stuck between choosing a sitting and standing desk. There's not an adjustable option, so make sure you really know what you want.

### Pros
- Beautiful Italian Modernist design
- Considering the significance, it's a great value
- Luxe look and feel
### Cons
- It's a very large desk; you need space
If you're working from home, I'm going to assume you don't have a big corner office somewhere. Otherwise, I assume you'd be shopping for just "Best Office Desks." Still, if you want to channel that big-boss, high-design vibe in your home office, you have to, *have to*, get with our friends at CB2.
Specifically, I'm thinking of CB2's exclusive reproduction of one of Gianfranco Frattini's first designs. This desk is the perfect representation of Italian Modernism—it's sharp, airy, and forward-thinking. In either the walnut or oak builds, it looks impeccable, and it gives an air that your work *really* matters. (Plus, it's the same price as that Artifox desk.) You know what they say: Buy a desk for the job you want... or however it goes.

### Pros
- At under \$100, you can't beat the price
- Good options for sizes and looks
- Surprisingly sturdy out of the box
### Cons
- Just a table, really
- Don't expect it to last a lifetime
No accouterments, no drawers or cubbies, just a solid surface on four legs. What makes Need's desk a good basic option, aside from the price, is that you can choose from three sizes and four color combinations. If you're not particular about all the accoutrements, this is a great option. One ought to do nicely for your WFH setup.

### Pros
- Small footprint
- Still reasonably stable
### Cons
- Not as stable as something in the more traditional shape
Humanscale found a way to make a standing desk take up a minimal amount of space. The angled, three-directional legs give the desk plenty of stability, while keeping it mobile and allowing you to use it in a bunch of different spaces. It's not a huge revolution, but if your WFH space changes every year with every new apartment, this gives you some peace of mind.

### Pros
- Space saving, but gives you plenty of storage
- Can be added on to fit your newer spaces
### Cons
- Just not the ideal setup; get a proper desk if you have space
If ever there was a shelving system that’s having *a moment*, it’s the ladder shelf. It looks cool, it requires minimal drilling, and it holds a lot of junk. Including your computer, if you go with a style with an extended desk shelf, like this one from West Elm.

### Pros
- Smart, space-saving design
- Decent amount of storage in the cabinet portion
- Looks great
### Cons
- Not incredibly stable
If the CB2 Frattini desk is the big boss of this list, this is its executive assistant. No matter how tiny of a studio apartment you live in, if you've got a little wall space, you can have a functional desk.
This clever little murphy desk has an upper cabinet for storing pens and notebooks, and there's a cork board for your desk photos. The desk top has enough space for a laptop, but little else. This isn't a 9 to 5 desk, it's just an option when you don't want to work from the couch or kitchen table. Don't expect it to last a lifetime, but while you're stuck in that shoebox apartment, it'll do.
