The #1 Priority When Choosing a Home Office Desk is 'Ease of Work': What Are the Most Popular Types and Selection Criteria?

■ Approximately 1 in 3 people who work from home do not have a dedicated desk

With the spread of remote work and telecommuting, the number of people working from home is increasing every year. However, the extent to which people set up their home work environments varies.

Choosing a desk, which affects both work efficiency and physical strain, can be surprisingly difficult. Many people may be unsure about what criteria to use, such as size, price, or functionality.

Therefore, in collaboration with VALVANNE, we conducted a survey on "home office desks" targeting 166 men and women across Japan who previously indicated they "sometimes work from home."
