Most of us at ZDNet have worked from home for years. We have a lot of experience not only in the migration to working from home but what it takes to set up an optimal working environment. Therefore, we’ve compiled a list of the best office furniture that we believe can truly optimize productivity. There are definitely more expensive options out there, and there are less expensive. What’s presented here are really good options that should serve you no matter what your home office looks like. You can follow my day-to-day project updates on social media.
