An Office Desk can be the most boring, uninteresting part of your workspace. An office desk can also make your work easier and reduce stress.

The key is to find the best Office Desks and choose one that compliments your personality — not just for decorative purposes, but your style.

Do you like small, compact desks or larger tabletops?

Do you need an office desk to hold multiple monitors or just a laptop?

These questions will help you find the best setup. This guide is going to help narrow down the best desk for your needs and budget.

Have a seat! Let’s explore the 10 best office desks in 2017.

Features to Consider

If you’ve already mapped out your desk space and needs, feel free to skip to the list. For those who aren’t sure what kind of desk you want, keep reading.

The best office desks only work best when their features are put to good use. For example, a standing desk will need a wider office space. Know your limitations and where you’d like to improve your work environment.

Now, consider these options and make a list of things you ‘want’ or ‘need’ to have:

• Keyboard drawer
• Drawers
• Wire management
• Cabinets
• Height adjustment
• Computer tower space
• Wheels
• Corner table/table width

Being able to visualize your perfect office desk with all these features will help a lot. Things get overly complicated when you are shopping without purpose.

Once you have your functionality needs down, you can begin looking at style. Hopefully, this guide makes shopping for the best office desks a bit more manageable.

Now, on to our top desk picks of the year.

1. Malm Desk

This desk from Ikea is the perfect desk for a professional, streamlined look for your home office. It’s 55 inches in length, 25 inches deep, and 28 inches high.

This is a safe medium for those who need a nice size desk, but still manageable. You can easily fit two monitors and a computer tower on top of the desk and you won’t feel crowded.

Cable management is also easy and convenient. It comes with a rack to help keep things organized and out of the way.

You’ll get plenty of room for storing office supplies and files. This desk is a great, affordable home office solution for any small business.

2. Bush Furniture Cabot Collection L-Desk

Next up, we have one of the best office desks for affordable, luxury style. The rich Cheery finish really sets the mood. This desk was made to accompany a bottle of liquor on the side.

You’ll get plenty of desktop space, as well, measuring 60 inches across. Plenty of storage for those doing a lot of file work. Hidden away are 4 USB ports to made device management that much easier.

This desk will melt away the stress, just make sure you pair it with a respectable office chair. Maybe an earthy brown or caramel leather to complement the finish?

3. Z-Line Belaire Glass L-Shaped Computer Desk

If you’re going for a more modern look with plenty of space, this glass desk is perfect. It’s surprisingly affordable, considering the large frame and glass pieces.

It measures 60 inches by 24 inches by 37 inches. The glass looks great with the strong metal frame. You can’t help but feel a bit of Sci-Fi nerdiness while typing with the transparent view above.

This is one of the cheapest desks on our list, but the quality and size are hard to beat.

4. The basyx by HON BL Series

We’re going bigger and deeper with this next pick. Measuring at a spacious 72 by 36 by 29 inches, you won’t find many desks like this under $150.

HON has been making the best office desks for a long time. With experience comes plenty of quality touches. It can be modified to an L-shaped desk, thanks to a smart fastening system.

Cable management is plentiful with this large desk, which is a common problem for deep desks. This is also great because the desk is very heavy and built to last.

You also get a 5-year limited warranty, making sure you don’t get stuck with a lemon.

5. Exerpeutic 2000 WorkFit High Capacity Desk Station Treadmill

Looking for a desk that does more than just hold all your stuff? Well, how about a desk that improves your health and work capacity? This desk is half treadmill, half desk.

Make no mistake, though, we’re not saying you should be running or jogging while typing. It is, however, much easier to incorporate your exercise in-between work hours, though.

A brisk walk while getting work done is effortless and great for your health. Sitting for long periods is bad for circulation. Alternating between standing is better, but walking is ideal for long office hours.

This is one of the best office desks of its kind and is surprisingly affordable. It’s sturdy, quiet, roomy for your computer, and efficient.

Treadmill desks are definitely the way to go for the health-conscious worker.

6. The Stand Up Desk

If you don’t want to sweat while you type, a standing desk is a great compromise. Stand up desks are the best office desks for long work hours.

This model is hand-operated by a manual crank. There are a lot of models out there that use an electric motor, of course. We picked a manual adjuster because electrical failures happen and you’ll pay more for convenience.

Instead of needing to troubleshoot a bad motor, get a desk that is simple and well-made. The Stand Up Desk is a trusted brand for adjustable height desks.

The two-tiered desks makes for the perfect standing posture, as well. It’s much easier to stand up straight when your eyes are parallel to the screen.

7. LINNMON Desk

This is an Ikea staple. You’ve probably seen this desk before at someone’s house or a small business. This doesn’t mean it can’t be in our 10 best office desks list, though. The Linnmon is extremely affordable and should not be overlooked.

It doesn’t hurt that it also comes in a variety of colors, either. Having a cohesive style for an office goes a long way.

To make this desk work for the office, though, you have to grab the accessories. Namely, storage drawers and their cable management rack.

Also, because it’s such a popular desk, you’ll find tons of customization tutorials online.

8. Herman Miller Renew

Another great standing desk, Herman Miller’s entry targets the high-end desk market. This one is electric-powered, but it’s a good one.

The height adjustment is smooth and quick. The whole thing works on a basic paddle that sticks out on the corner. Flip it up or down and the desk moves with smooth precision.

Herman Miller also managed to build an eco-friendly desk that operates at a low voltage. It takes the power of a cell phone charger to use the lift.

That’s just amazing, considering how much force is needed to operate.

9. iSkelter LIFT

For a more compact adjustable height desk, LIFT does the job well. It comes in at only 37 by 22 inches for desk space. It can raise up to 15 inches and down to 3 inches from the center position.

Not only that, this desk comes with a whiteboard, a mousepad, cupholders, and storage trays! Talk about serious desk perks.

It is because of the beautiful design, compactness, and extras that make the LIFT one of the best office desks of 2017.

10. StandDesk Pro

Last, but not least is StandDesk’s deluxe assembly. What makes this desk “Pro”?

It’s advertised as 20% stronger than all other standing desk motors. It holds up to 400 lbs (excellent for using it as a workbench). It’s made of steel that’s used for the Golden Gate Bridge.

Okay, those are pretty big specs, but this desk really is high-end. You also get plenty of optional upgrades to choose from. The Pro’s flexibility is a huge plus.

But, the biggest perk is being able to program the max and min heights for quick adjusting. Everything StandDesk does is intuitive, so hats off to them.

Set the Stage with the Best Office Desks

So, there you have it. This list is by no means comprehensive, there are a ton of amazing desks out there. The most expensive choices were avoided.

This is partly due to the average home office being more about practicality than luxury. A big part is also because we know you’re going to want to budget for supplies and accessories.

Finding the equipment and supplies to make your workspace more productive is only half the battle. Prepare your mind and body to tackle any obstacle in your way.
