More and more people are designating an area in their home as their office and with this means purchasing office furniture. Whether you are buying a basic desk and chair or a complete workstation knowing what to look for can be the difference between a comfortable home office you use regularly or an uncomfortable arrangement that you seldom use.
Instructions
1. Measure the area where you will be putting your home office. Knowing the size of the area you are working with makes it easier to determine the size of the furniture you can purchase.
2. Look for comfort and functionality above looks. Having furniture that is comfortable is far more important that having a desk that is too large for your purposes or sits to high for you to reach things comfortably.
3. Consider the material the desk will be made of. Some materials such as metal hold up longer and are less prone to damage than desks made of wood. Consider this especially if you have young children who might be using the desk. In this case you will want something easy to clean.
4. Understand your budget and don't go above it. Before you head off to the store set a budget and stick to it. Having a budget will help you avoid impulse purchases that could mean a long term financial commitment.
5. Choose a chair that is comfortable, adjustable, and easily rolls on all types of floor coverings including carpet.
