Since Covid came into our lives back in 2020, some of us have been lucky enough to carry on working from home full-time, or the odd day here and there.
Being slumped on the sofa or WFB (working from bed) is sooo 2021 and it’s time to invest in a proper desk – to not only support and create a better working life, but mostly to save our posture.
Now we’re not all blessed with huge amounts of space to work from – whether that be living with parents, shared housing or just a tiny flat – so we’re always on the lookout for something that’s not only portable – but sturdy and conventional too.
One brand that’s recently caught our eye is Oakywood and the ‘Classic Desk’ that comes in an array of sizes – to suit all needs and places you’re looking to kit out.
Made from solid wood, the Classic Wooden Desk is a timeless staple for any office space. Its has rounded edges and resistant to damage too. Each desk comes at an ‘optimal height’ so you can comfortably get through your workday with ease.
Better yet? For every Oakywood desk purchased, a tree is planted – and we love a brand that gives back these days.
One pleased purchaser, Heidi said: ‘I work from home and wanted a simple, comfortable desk with a mid century modern style. I went with the solid walnut colour, It smells soooooo good, that fresh wood smell. Gives me a calming feeling while I am working. The desk is soo smooth and comfortable to work at.’
She even went on to add how ‘super easy’ it was to assemble – and nothing frustrates us more than a million pieces, basic instructions and another argument with our partner.
This could be you, working from your new desk – and not the sofa for a change… (Picture: Oakywood)
Another shopper, Lynn F. added: ‘Who knew a desk could be enchanting? It looks and feels artisanal, the wood is of incredible quality with a beautiful smooth matte finish. Mesmerizing wavy ripples from the wood grain do not translate through photos. Perfectly packaged. No tools needed to put together. Feels substantial but looks minimal.’
Well consider us sold on those reviews alone.
And Oakywood don’t just sell top notch desks for you to work from, but a whole range of MagSafe and charging docks, sleeves and cases for your tech devices along with items to keep your working environment organised as well.
We’re obsessing over the laptop docks and stands that will give is the optimal working space we need when making notes, doodling during Zoom calls and keeping everything safe from those disastrous coffee spillages.
Should you not be able to decide on what oak finish would look best in your new designated space, you can also order a ‘Samples Kit’ to assist you with what would compliment your home most.
Pretty cool ey?
We’re off to take our old one to the tip and invest in something long-lasting instead.
