Otherwise, this desk is designed to give you the full health benefits of switching over to a stand-up work environment.

Here's a fun, low-profile desk in the classic, Parsons style. This would work well with almost any type of decor, and it would be a great choice for anyone who is looking for a nice splash of color in their home office.

This pretty, wood secretary folds down into a traditional side table when not in use. This would be a great solution for anyone who really has no space for an office but still needs a spot to do some work. You could keep this in your living room next to your sofa, for example, and open it up into a desk any time you needed to get some work done.

With a pull-out keyboard tray and two drawers, this is the perfect solution for anyone who needs to set up their desktop computer in their office.

This midcentury modern-inspired secretary would work well in a corner or nook anywhere in your home. The door allows you to keep any messy papers or items hidden away. And at only 15 inches deep, you won’t need a lot of room to add this to your space.

This pretty, antique-inspired writing desk could work great next to a bed (instead of a bedside table) or tucked behind a sofa. If you're looking for a double-duty piece, it would also work beautifully as a vanity.

This wall-mounted desk is available in several different wood finishes and even includes a hidden intelligent wire and cable management feature. You can install this desk at varying heights, depending on your preference of a standard sit-down desk or a stand-up desk.
