Setting up your home office comes with a lot of responsibilities. You need to take into account how much room you have to put your desk and then find one that fits your style. There are so many types of desks out there, like L-shaped ones for corners, leaning desks that are more vertical if you don’t have as much room, large mahogany ones that you envision Scrooge McDuck to have, and plenty others. Something that you may not think about when you’re purchasing a desk is how to lay out what you keep on it. A good way to save some room on the desk itself is to find one with a keyboard tray. This is a drawer or sorts that will store your keyboard for you, allowing you to keep most room for writing or other activities in front of you. This also keeps the keyboard at an ideal height for your posture and protects your wrists and hands. If you’re in the market for a new desk, consider any of the five below we’ve highlighted that include keyboard trays.
