NEXER and VALVANNE conducted a survey regarding home office desks.

About 1 in 3 people who work from home do not have a dedicated desk
With the spread of remote work and work-from-home arrangements, the number of people working from home is increasing every year. However, the extent to which people set up their home work environments varies significantly.
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 that they "sometimes work from home."
