20 Best Work From Home Set Ups (Jan 2023 Update)

If you are looking for something to travel with this is not it. Its huge bulky heavy! this thing is huge!. I got it b/c i am a traveling student i needed a study area. As soon as i took it out of the box i knew it wasnt for me it was so heavy. The idea is nice but i rather go for a lap desk from ross for 10 bucks small, sturdy and practical.Genthehen

I had high hopes for this portable office case. It is big, bulky and heavy. Not a deal breaker, until I opened it and saw there was not much room for what I needed it for. There is a place for the laptop, but there's only one little area for files. I was hoping for alot more storage in that big case, but it was just cumbersome without the function.HB

This is a terrific desk. It's not difficult to assemble, but it takes some time. One of the tops came with a slightly damaged corner, but it wasn't significant enough for me to go through the hassle of returning, waiting for a replacement, and hoping the replacement wasn't damaged. I just put some super glue on it and called it good. There's plenty of storage between the cupboard and side drawers, but I also bought the matching lateral file cabinet and book case.Matthew C.

There were several desks for me to choose from, but I was replacing a Bush desk that is about 25 years old. Very easy to put together, got most of it done myself until the heavy lifting was needed, all done in 5 hours! It fit perfectly into my home office. The only thing I would ask for is a second keyboard holder, I have 2 computers and 2 keyboards but all in all I love this desk! The desk is a lot larger than it shows in the picture, I have 2 file cabinets and an elliptical in the same room.Ty1959

The material is pretty cheap. The pre-made holes to put everything together don't necessarily line up perfectly like I would want. The many different screws came in bags with no labels on them. I picked this specific desk because it had the keyboard try, but its a bit too low when I sit at the desk, so I ended up putting my keyboard on top of the desk instead. Mostly it was a pain to put together.CharmingLadybug-61547

I am thrilled with this stand. It is very solidly built, steady as a rock, and beautifully engineered. When typing there is no bouncing or wobbling of the platform, keyboard or monitors. The adjustment from sitting to standing position is very easy and the mechanism is quite and very smooth and does not take a lot of strength to raise. It takes just seconds raise or lower it. The height adjustment is variable – the unit clicks into position to lock at the selected height when the spring-loaded handles on the left and right are released. This means that you can easily raise it to whatever height you are comfortable with. I am just over 70 inches tall and prefer it close to the maximum height. At its lowest position it is not too obtrusive and I find that I do not have to adjust the monitor height at all when transitioning from sitting to standing and back again. The stand weighs about 70 lbs but setup is a breeze because it comes preassembled. Just unpack it and place it on your desk, remove a few more packing materials, and you are good to go. I originally ordered the Ergotron WorkFit Dual Monitor Kit (97-904) as well because I was concerned that with my two monitors (24" diagonal screens) the stand would be unstable when raising and lowering it, but I ended up cancelling my order for the kit because the monitors sit very nicely on the stand and feel quite secure. An added benefit of this arrangement is that I can move the monitors around to adjust their distance from my eyes and their relative angle, which I could not do if I mounted them to the stand using the kit. One thing I would note is that the dimensions on the Ergotron website imply that the unit is 23.25 inches deep but the keyboard tray projects an additional 4 inches so that total depth is about 27 inches. This was not a problem for me because my desk is 30 inches deep. Also I would say the color is charcoal grey not black, but that is fine too. I am very happy with this stand and can recommend it w…Brian

This desk is very well built, very sturdy. I have ongoing back issues and cannot sit for an extended period of time. This desk functions very well; its has multiple options to suit your preferred height while standing. It has ample space for a keyboard/mouse, large monitor and laptop, and notebook. Would recommend to anyone who wants the option to sit or stand throughout the day. Perfect size on the desk as well, does not appear as too bulky. Very happy with the purchase.Jon

It was either this or the Varidesk. After having seen and read the features and numerous reviews I decided to go with the WorkFit-TL. Ergotron also offers the lower-priced and the almost identical WorkFit-T (the little brother of TL) . The primary reason I spent the extra bucks and went with the TL was due to the larger keyboard tray size. Having read reviews for the WorkFit-T, the main complaint was the lack of room for a keyboard and mouse on the keyboard tray. With the TL, Ergotron fixes that while giving even more real estate on the main surface. Few other plus points over the Varidesk: – goes straight up and not outwards when raised. – the adjustment clips are smooth, flexible and quiet. Bottom line, I love it. I work as a devops engineer and I can honestly say I've been so much more productive. Keeps me refreshed throughout the work day. My co-workers love it and some are considering getting one. It's not cheap, but to me this was worth every penny and more. Sidenote: Few of my coworkers have the Varidesk and they love it as it fits their needs. Check them both out and see which works best for you. For me, the Workfit-TL is almost perfect!Aziz

Please STOP. Do not waste your time with this desk. I just ordered it on 1/25/2021. I received it on 1/27/2021. I opened the box, and started the assembly. It is not hard to follow the manual. However, as I am putting it together, I was checking the pieces and was shocked to see so many of the them either have scratches, dents, and chipping. It was like I got a used desk. See the picture I attached to get an idea. I emailed the company customer service and they responded that the damage is more than 50% and it is better to return the desk. The problem is that it is not easy to gather the pieces back in the box and take it to the store. The box is heavy. That is why I am advising everyone not to waste time and effort with this desk. Otherwise you deserve what you get.Yori

This desk was not designed well. I have put a lot of furniture together that were perfectly fine. But with this, the screws were falling out in a few weeks. Then I moved and things just got worse. I’ve moved with furniture multiple times. Nothing fell apart. But for this desk, I couldn’t lean on the short part of the L and eventually it just fell. Luckily my cat or the kid I babysit wasn’t hurt! Very disappointed. It was cheap for a reason I guess.Cierra

This item was totally worth the purchase. Me and my husband, both, work from home. I recently went online looking for a new desk because I have 2 monitors and the top of my desk is always crowded. When I bought this desk, I wasn't expecting this desk to be anything more then a piece of plywood on legs. I was 100% impressed with the finish and how nice it looked after putting it together. The price was only $ 68 dollars AND IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY IF NOT MORE! It was also very easy to assemble. It took me maybe 40 minutes altogether. I h8ghly recommend.Jordan

This desk is beautiful but is poor quality. Three pieces of wood are cracked straight out of the box. Two pieces are supports and not visible and one is the back of the long drawer which is visible. All three pieces should have been replaced. The install was fairly simple but the legs don't fit flush to the wood they secure to. This can lead to additional cracking and is poorly designed. Also,the long drawer has a track that is loose on the right side when opened. I was excited for this purchase because of the appearance of the desk and because I enjoy my Ashley sofa and love-seat. I'm was surprised at the poor quality of this piece of furniture and am disappointed in this purchase.Stephanie

Really nice desk. Assembly instructions was easy and put it together in less than 1 hour. I had to wait several months for it due to it being out of stock and supply chain issues. This was not a surprise as I was given a timeframe of when I would receive it (came earlier than the time given). Fit and finish of the drawers could be better but acceptable for the price paid. Overall I am very satisfied with the purchase.LUISITOP

During shipping the top of desk got a nick. As it is a grainy rather than smooth top it is not very noticeable and I didn’t think it was worth the trouble or returning a large and heavy item. The large drawer has a pull down front panel, or you can slide the drawer out to open normally. I’m not sure why you’d want to use the drop panel front. Regardless, the hinges are screwed into MDF and the screw holes were stripped when we got it and would not hold. My husband used some glue to secure it, again so I wouldn’t have the hassle of exchange. A little disappointed at the particle board type material that the drawer hinge wad screwed into but it mostly feels solid. Very attractive piece. It is beautiful. Lastly, they did not ship the return. I got email that my order was delivered with no mention that the other part would come later. I had to call for this info and almost a month from order for the return to even ship.KelleyW

Bought it for my wife, she is extremely pleased. My daughter is also interested in one. Was easy to assemble, less than 30 minutes and very sturdy. Truly impressed.Kim H.

If you live in an apartment complex this is a great option for you. There are cheaper options on the market but the value that you get comes from the materials. This is a hardwood desk(I went for the foldable model) wich provides good stability, nicedesk space, enough for 2 monitors and a lamp. However, depending on the surface you have it on there may be some minor wobbling. We have another larger model which is heavier and that does not happen. If you do a lot of typing this one may not be the best for you. You'll need a thicker desk table. If you are a student, get this one.Samuel C.

The credenza is exactly as described. I purchased two and the top of one came broken in half. Bush Furniture didn't hesitate to ship a replacement to me. Hayneedle, on the other hand, was a nightmare to deal with. I will not shop with Hayneedle again.Mandy

I like the desk but a couple issues. Build quality is mediocre. Some of the plastic caps aren't sized right to cover up the locking bolts. The desk has a huge scratch in it also. Too heavy to bother returning it since it sits against a wall.pts12345

For the price, this is an excellent option! I work from home and FINALLY decided to set up a dedicated office. The desk was super simple to put together. I already had a nice 2 drawer file cabinet and it fits under this desk perfectly. Eventually, I will get the matching cabinet. The desk is very roomy! I have a large external monitor, my laptop on a stand so I can use that screen too, my work phone and plenty of extra space to work! I purchased an undermount pencil drawer (another manufacture) and it works perfectly. Very pleased!mikey6982

It arrived two days ago. I originally ordered it because it looked simple to assemble and it was larger than my current desk. It arrived damaged, one of the corners was chipped off exposing particles inside of the board. Legs arrived in a separate box (that was confusing, but OK). This table is BY FAR the hardest one I ever assembled in my life and I assembled about a dozen of them. Screw holes are super close to the leg which makes a manual screw driver almost impossible to use. I will borrow an electric one to finish my assembly tomorrow. The desktop itself feels sturdy, but Bestar has to change their mounting hole design, possibly use larger radius circle around the legs? Extra padding around the corners would also be helpful since I am not the only one who received this desk damaged.Stan

Nice table, except every finger/handprint shows on the surface. Expect to spend a little time regularly cleaning the surface. Bestar's cherry wood table didn't have this problem, but it was discontinued. I would have rated that one five stars. Since I already have one black table, I'll probably order another so they at least match.Dirk B.

Good sturdy table and it looks exactly like the image. Assembly was very easy, you just attach the legs, and it took me 10 minutes. It arrived with a small scuff on the side though. Overall very pleased with the product.webuser_799992996

I have the desk and it could have been everything I wanted, but the keyboard tray is defective. They sent another, and it was nicked and scratched. They sent a guy to install the garbage they mailed, only to find that I had already called to request a replacement. Third drawer, no one has reached back out yet. This company's customer service is not the best, or not the brightest. I am now three months in, and still have a defective drawer (*it's the center one for the keyboard, mouse, etc. I'm disappointed more in the store and their follow through than anything. I only gave it two stars because otherwise it appears to be a sturdy desk. I hope it will last, but I hope they can get in touch regarding the mishaps, malfunctions, and defects.Princess

I was a little concerned just ordering this desk off a picture, but it proved to be a good choice. Love the design, especially in the top. Pictures don't do it justice. And it's just big enough to hold my computer, peripherals, and the junk I loaded on it! I'm very happy with my choice!DAVIDJ

One of the worst designed pieces of furniture I have ever seen in my life. You’re paying 125 dollars for an asymmetrical, cheap, impossible to construct chair. I have put together almost all of the furniture I have bought and have NEVER had a problem figuring out even the most difficult assembly. This chair, however, is an entirely different beast: the holes do not align with the opening to put in the screw, the individual parts make no sense, and the screws are poorly made. When the screw would not fit properly or be removed, we tried to pull it out with a hammer. The hammer broke before the screw even moved. NOTHING is worth this level of headache. Had the chair been something special, it would have felt somewhat satisfying, but it is literally just an office chair. This chair isn’t worth your time and it absolutely isn’t worth the years it’s going to take off your life putting it together. Unbelievably disappointing.Nasren

A good bargain if you want the basics. Pros: Price Nice looking Easy assembly Comfort Multiple positions for headrest Arms rotate back similar to captains chairs in a van or motorhome. The highest seating position is great for people with long legs and for those who have taller than normal desks. My custom workstation sits 32.5" from the floor. With the chair at maximum height, my arms are at a great position for typing. Cons: 1. Limited adjustments. There are only two functions on the adjustment handle. 1. "up/down." 2. "Pull out" on the handle for recline. 2. Hard to recline even for a guy weighing 230lbs. Recline doesn't hold it's position on its own by using your body weight. You need to hold the recline position by using the muscles in your legs while your feet are planted on the floor. Shorter people might need to rest their feet on the chrome base and apply pressure to hold the position. 3. Instruction illustrations aren't the best but you can figure it out. Overall this will suit my needs and the price is really good. If you can live without full function capabilities offered on some of the more expensive chairs then I say go for it.kevin

I bought two of these chairs. They are stylish and would get a high rating, but there is a loud noise when leaning back or shifting weight for the first time when you sit. It happens on both chairs. I sent an email to customer service but there's no reply so far. The sound is so annoying, particularly when you're working! Might have to send them back.Dalgon

Well for starters I will be coming back to update my review.I scoured Home Deliveries USA and all the reviews for the best priced and best rated gaming desk, and this is the one that stuck out the most. Though I’ve only assembled it so far and haven’t actually put it to use, I can say that assembly was rather easy and now that it’s on its own 2 feet, it feels pretty solid and sturdy. I was skeptical of the 2 piece top based off reviews of them not being flush with eachother but I suppose luckily I didn’t have that issue. It will be getting 2 24 monitors + stand and a pc set up on the top tonight so we’ll see how it feels integrity wise after that. I can’t speak for the wire management portion yet as I do not have it in place yet.As of right now for anyone that’s scouring reviews looking for this desk I’d say Go for it because the others definitely look a lot cheaper built and have far worse reviews.Will update soon!Justen

I dont normally write reviews, but I love this product so much I just felt like I had to. I wanted a desk with a full size mouse pad and wide open base and the fact that this came with that PLUS a headset rack and cup holder made it a steal in my personal opinion. The box fit easily in my car which was ideal for me as mail typically gets stolen so I needed it delivered at my PO box and I was able to carry it in my apartment myself as it was not too heavy. I set it up myself in a reasonable time, nowhere near an hour.I was able to fit a 20 and 27 monitor with my PC on it LxWxH ‎19.45 x 9.06 x 20.31 inches. Later I moved the PC off the desk and its obvious two 27 monitors would fit perfectly.Ive had it 10 months to date, nothing was damaged when I got it and its helped up so far.I would definitely buy this again.J

Im pleased with this desk. The construction is very good but not perfect. If youre looking for the sturdiest, longest lasting desk and weight and cost are not a factor, avoid MDF entirely and go for a single piece solid wood desktop. If you dont need a desk deeper than 24 you can also find better deals. I personally valued the dimensions and mouse pad enough to spend the small premium on this product.The instructions are not great, just pictures, with a couple spots that are not quite clear enough. It is well packaged. It includes a good quality screwdriver and a crappy 4mm allen wrench – I used my own allen wrench and didnt bother even trying the included one. It included at least one extra of each screw type.I can confidently say that the reviewers complaining about stability have either got defective parts or, more likely, assembled it wrong. So here are some assembly notes:While assembling any product but especially important for MDF:- Never tighten fasteners as tight as possible, you will crush the MDF.- Tighten each fastener a little bit at a time. I estimate that for each bolt I returned to it four times – initially just tight enough to barely clamp the parts together, then after all bolts are installed I tightened each a turn or two, then repeated each bolt fraction of a turn at a time. This approach lets you ensure parts are aligned and prevents crushing the MDF on one side.- Correct tightness is hard to convey through text but if youre new to assembly, you can try this rule of thumb for the bolts in step 1, 2 and 3, and use a similar tightness for subsequent steps: Stop when you hear the first bit of crunching noise from the MDF. You can then tighten it a quarter turn more but no further.Notes on specific installation instruction steps:- Step 1: The diagram is not clear here. Youre screwing two brackets to hold the two halves together. I suggest the ridges face away from the surface, I think if the ridges are touching the surface it will causer som.andy17null

This wasn't hard to put together and appeared sturdy and well-built; however, like many people, I work from home. The chair squeaks and clicks whenever I move. I'm well below the recommended maximum weight and the sounds this chair produces are loud. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone who works from home on camera or anyone who will need to work near others. It's simply too distracting. I am also skeptical that it will last very long.Ellen

My employer provided office chair just wasn’t cutting it. I needed something more ergonomic that wouldn’t break the bank. I did some research and came across this chair. It allows me to adjust my back height, provides lumbar support, I can lock the back in a reclined spot, adjust my arms, and these cool transparent wheels are a dream! They glide seamlessly over carpet and hard floors. The wheels and the ergonomic adjustments provide extra comfort that my previous work chair was lacking which is a huge relief to my lower back! I highly recommend this chair.KCCurrentFan

This chair looks nice but is very uncomfortable. It feels very flimsy, has limited functionality (max height is not high enough and there’s no other adjustments that can be made other than to lift the arms). It feels very cheap. I tried to initiate a return shortly after the chair arrived but was told I’d need to return it within 15 days and pay for the shipping myself. Had I known this were the policy, I never would have purchased it. In the end, I kept the chair (but am not using it because I find it is so uncomfortable), since the expense of returning it is too much. The seller is responsive and friendly, however I couldn’t recommend this chair. It is very disappointing.Unsatisfied customer

Love this desk – It has a lot of space for laptop, keyboard and 2 monitors + additional side desk! Quality overall is good, but it did come in with damage to the underside of the desk where the hinges of the adjustable part broke through. The underside is just made of cheap pressed material. Love the look and it fits my space well.MartiW

Would rate this a 5 star except for a couple issues; 1) Quality control is severely lacking. Desk has a few issues out of the box, 1 corner has a crack in it, the desktop itself has some "marks" from something and the bottom of the flip up drawer has a gash in it from something and the outside of the box was very well taped over so when it was delivered it was not noticed. UPS delivered and I doubt the damage was from them, the tape job was too well done. 2) The design leaves something to be desired. As mentioned in other posts, you can only get the allen wrench to give a quarter turn and you have to "reload". It helped to take the small drawer out but not by a lot. It does seem to be very sturdy and fits our need very nicely. Realize that you won't know what's in the box til you open it, however, I expected more from Ashley. Glad we got it on sale and with a coupon, would have been more upset than I am. At 106 pounds I'm not going to lug it back.Ozwillie

Since March my "office" has been my kitchen table; when I realized that i would not be returning to the office anytime soon, I knew I needed to find the perfect desk. This desk checked all my boxes, although it was backordered when it was delivered it was already put together, the guys were nice and let me look over the desk before leaving. The lid closes perfectly & is easy to lift. Because I have 3 monitors I wish the entire top lifted but I can live with the section that does. Looking back, I would have liked the front "drawer," section to drop down for the keyboard but again that is small concern. Overall this desk is working out perfect.ROBERT

I bought this printer 4 days ago, I use it everyday for work and has been nothing but a headache. Sometimes it prints, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes when it does print it will do one line and then stop, then another line and stop… I can print something and will not come out for 3-5 minutes later. Tells me there is a paper jam and there isn't. I didn't realize this was non-returnable, my stomache actually hurts after spending this much and I cant even use it. Very disappointed in HPJenn

The design is great. Assembly was time consuming- all parts were in package and instructions were relatively clear. It tooks us about 3 hours to build. I appreciate the table top space for working. I am a bit disappointed with the drawers- they do not line up well and the drawer slider are stiff. The file drawer doesn't stay level. I don't have access to the whole drawer as they do not roll out fully. I cannot put in a file without having to force it in. Also, cord management is wonky- there is no grommet on top for the cords to disappear behind the desk. Also- the edge on the top is sharp.dena_linda

the big lot website was easy to browse and items had plenty of description. However, when searching for items using the search field provided, the hits on the search was not accurate. The search feature needs to be tuned up. The office desk that I purchased looks nice when I put it together. However, the large drawer is stuck and very difficult to open and close. I checked and double checked the installation, but I have not found a solution to the stuck drawer. Also, the instructions that came with the desk had drawings but no written step-by-step instructions. This made the process very difficult and time consuming. Another issue was that not all the pieces were labeled with numbers or letters. Only one tiny glue container was provided which was not nearly enough for the project. I was generous when giving the item a 3 star. It probably deserves a 2.5 rating.Abdalsalam

I love this desk. Assembly was easy, but these things out of the box always seem overwhelming. I put this together in a little over an hour and it gave me no issues so it was pretty fun comparatively. I am not a fan of the handles it comes with which are chintzy and don’t seem purposeful, but I had planned to shop for replacements which were easy to do because they were standard size. I picked up these brushed nickel from home depot for less than $15 for 3 and it really elevated the look. The only negative is the back side of the drawer cubes are unfinished. The support beam is finished on both sides and it would be nice if they were as well so you could float the desk in a room. I’m planning to resurface those with a peel and stick decor paper or other material that can be applied easily to the backside. I would definitely recommend this desk as it’s held up well for me for over 2 years!brittany_lange1941859

Most people buy battery backups for their computers, but many don't know that they're incredibly useful for protecting your home theater components! Not only do they protect against power surges, but the battery helps protect against brown-outs and the occasional quick power off/on cycle from the power company. This unit is perfectly suited for theater. Not only is an inexpensive no-frills solution, it's also a good size for a typical setup. There's no need to hide a huge battery, and it's pretty sleek looking (for a UPS!) and will fit in with most setups. Also, if you have "noisy" electricity or grounding issues that cause hum, this will help isolate you from the source. I have my TV and soundbar plugged into the UPS outlets and my Blu-Ray player in the surge only outlets. One thing to remember is that there's a yellow tab on the bottom that must be inserted into the neighboring slot before use. All UPSes come with a way of disconnecting the battery during storage. If you rush to plug everything in it's easy to miss this (although there is a big yellow sticker on the outlets to remind you) and then it'll appear to not work properly. If you're looking for something to give you just enough time to save what you're doing on your laptop or desktop when the power drops, this unit will be sufficient. For bigger applications, or if you need the UPS to "talk" to your machine through USB (no ports on this one!) you may want to look into a bigger UPS.Nerdninja

—SETUP— The setup for this back-up battery is easy. It comes with a disconnected battery connector that must be plugged in before use. The manual is clear on the process. After that, plug in the back-up battery for 24 hours before first use. After the 24 hour period, you can begin using it as a back up. —FEATURES— The key feature of this back up unit is that it’s meant to last about 2-3 hours and it seamlessly switches over to the battery backup in case of a blackout or brownout. Of the 6 outlets, 4 work with the battery back-up. All 6 provide surge protection. —PERFORMANCE— The performance of this battery back-up system is good. This is meant to be used as a means to safely turn off equipment that is meant to be turned off properly or give you time to save data. I tested this with my WiFi Modem/Router combo and it lasted me about 1 hour and 20 minutes. A clear audible alarm begins to beep when the back-up is close to running out of power giving you time to act. I simulated a power outage by unplugging the battery from the outlet and the transition from connected to back-up was seamless. I didn’t lose internet connection and all was good for the next hour and 45 minutes. —EXPECTATIONS— The product meets my expectations. The product isn’t too bulky but it will be noticeable if you have it out in the open. You can mount this unit if need be. The cable length is about 5-6 feet, though I would have liked if the cable could have been coiled neatly around the unit for storage or travel. Because it isn’t bulky, I found it easy to travel with for when I go out and need lighting for pictures or footage in dark areas. —VALUE— The price for the APC Back-UPS Battery system in terms of value is good for the peace of mind of your expensive electronics. —APPROVAL— I highly recommend this product for people who have expensive electronics that may need the additional level of protection from a blackout.Trobadour

Wow, I haven't read the reviews for a UPS in awhile. My mistake! I have given APC the benefit of the doubt for about a decade, but the last two units I've purchased and installed at different locations in the previous year have the "midnight scream" problem after less than 6 months of use. The alarm will go off randomly about every couple of weeks and you have to shut the unit down and power it back on to get it to stop. Even with a small load on it. Tech support says it's fine and makes me do the troubleshooting steps which never show an issue. They tell me everything is working correctly and no need for a RMA and suggest maybe I'm doing "something" wrong or the batteries aren't charged. Then they will send me a link to a PDF manual which is extremely patronizing. This makes the warranty essentially useless. No log or ability to replace the battery either. Don't put yourself in this position if possible.CentralFL2021

HP – ENVY 34" Widescreen UHD All-In-One- This is basically a laptop with a large 34" widescreen (21:9 aspect ratio) monitor with 5,210 by 2,160 pixel resolution. The operating system is Windows 11 Home. There is almost no bezel, so this is a big plus on a 34" screened computer. It has a nice brightness level and very good picture quality. With that much viewing area you can have multiple screen open and can-do multitasking well. It includes a magnetic mount USB webcam with a s camera with multiple points along the top bottom and edges that allow you to attach it. It also has a slide switch to activate a lens cover for privacy. This is a full HD camera. The neck on the camera is adjustable and if you want you can set it up to show something on your desk – that is pretty flexible. The picture is crisp and equivalent to may High-end webcams. The camera has a dual array of microphones. I was impressed with the ability of the camera to compensate for a low lighting conditions. On the back of the monitor you will get four USB 3.0 ports, two USB Type-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 support, an HDMI connection, a head set connection and an Ethernet port. The Stand also has two more USB 3.0 ports, a USB-C connection, and an SD card slot. The machine has satisfying audio quality and by gosh there is a fan and slots in the top of the system for heat release if you push the pedal to the metal for long periods of time. The stand base also has a wireless charging tech built into it but I couldn't get either or my two Android phones or an Android watch to hook up more than four seconds. The unit comes with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. The mouse, in my opinion, feels cheap and is way too light. The keyboard is stout and compact with a full set of keys it has a nice weight and rugged feel. The only downside is I wish it had lighted keys. It comes with WiFi 6 making for good speedy Wifi connections if direct wire isn’t available. The computer is capably equipped with an Intel i7-11700 processor, 16GB or RAM and a 1TB M.2 SSD. There is a removable back panel with a pair of M.2 SSD slots and four RAM slots – making it easy to update to more storage or up to 128GB of RAM. The system uses an onboard Intel video with a NVIDA laptop version of the NVIDIA 3060 GPU. The machine has a good design and is pleasing to display on your desk. The monitor is beautiful with good colors and contrast. The Blacks are even and no flashlighting. The machine is useful and has decent performance. Games are best run at medium settings and frame rates drop significantly in ultrawide (21:9) mode. This is great for machine movies and videos. The machine is adequate for Photoshopping and Premiere work. It was capable of decent transcoding speeds for a 4K video to 1080p in eight and a half minutes. HP's included Palette software—a toolkit that includes solutions for photo searching, phone connectivity, and wireless sharing is a decent program and there is not a lot of junkware on the machine. Some of the things I didn't like was when I opened the upgrade panel up the cooler for the M2 SSD was cocked and the mounting heat transfer tape was at best tacky. I took care of that prior to turning the machine on. I am not a big fan of Windows 11 and feel it is not yet ready for prime time. I believe you would have problems downgrading to Windows 10 since I don't see any drivers on the HP website. Even though I have performance-optimized, the PC startup lags behind my other computers of comparable specs, whether they are desktops or laptops… So be patient when the desktop starts to display.AZEqualizer

This all-in-one computer may be my favorite PC I have used compared to all the others I have previously owned. HP ditched the tower with all the cords plugged into it. The only cord a person needs is the power cord and the cord attached to the webcam that is included with this computer! After that, everything is built into the screen or is wireless, like the mouse and keyboard. I love the 34" screen. Being that I work a lot from home, I am able to have multiple applications running at the same time to work across programs. On my old computer, I used to have to minimize apps during work which was frustrating! This computer also has a lot of USB connection options. I love how some of those connections are actually built into the main support structure of the computer. This gives it a very sleek and eye pleasing design. This computer is very fast! It only takes a few seconds to go from pushing the power button to working! It has the latest version of Windows as well! The only thing I would like to have seen is an integrated web cam. This web cam is bulky. I have seen comparative or better quality from a camera smaller than this one. It stands out in a slightly obtrusive way. The only good thing about the camera is the versatility to be able to move it to other locations around the frame of the screen due to the base of the camera being magnetic. It attaches to different magnetic points all around the screen. It also have a privacy screen which is a nice touch. One of my favorite details about this computer is the wireless charging pad on the bottom of the unit! While working, I can lay my phone on it and charge it without connecting to a USB-C cord on the computer or on a wall outlet! I thought this was a very nice touch that I had never seen on a computer before! Other than the web cam, I think this all-in-one computer from HP will fit the bill for most people in terms of what they are looking for in a great work or home computer!tmcgo510

Surprise. If there is one word I have to sum up this device, it’s that one. “Surprise.” Surprised to have received it. Surprised to have learned what it looked like. Surprised to learn what it packed under the hood. And surprised several times over by the details. This machine literally snuck up on me. I had been griping about my previous antique of a desktop machine for some time now before my wife surprised me with this one – in exchange for my writing this review, of course. Now, It should be known that I’m hardly a power user. I don’t game much at all. I dabble in a bit of light photo and video editing using the less-system tasking (and free!) options available online or included with earlier versions of Windows operating systems. Most of my heaviest usage comes as a result of multi-tasking through a combination of tab-heavy browsing combined with a smattering of various Office applications. As an amateur photo hobbyist, I dreamed about being able to use some of the professional quality photo and video editing platforms, but have never had a machine that met the minimum performance specs, never mind the recommended ones, to be able to give it a go. Needless to say, I’m not really a computer guy. And my wife is even less of one. (Don’t laugh. You know what I meant!) My experience with all-in-ones (henceforth AIO) was extremely limited, as the last one I interacted with was a low-end example we had purchased several years ago to give to my grandfather who was simple in need and low on living space. So when my wife told me she got me a computer, I was immediately surprised… and nervous. I had hoped for something with a little more umph than what I’d been used to. And when she said it was an AIO, I was even more scared. Just who are these AIOs marketed to? Folks tight on space? People who need simplicity as a priority? Folks like Grandpa? Certainly not those with high performance system demands in mind, right? I immediately looked up the details on this HP Envy 34 AIO she picked out for me, fully prepared to act the role of an ungrateful little twit by looking my gift horse straight in the mouth and complaining about what it lacked. But the teeth on this particular horse turned out to be in much better shape than I was expecting. Now like I said, I don’t know computers well, but I do know that the numbers sure looked good on paper. Way better than anything I’d ever used previously. 11th gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB memory, 4GB dedicated GPU, 1TB SSD… these things I have a minimal understanding of, except that these are what are required for the machine to think, multitask, retrieve and store stuff quickly and easily. And all of those numbers and letters seemed to indicate that they either met or exceeded the recommended performance specifications of all those programs I’d hoped to someday attempt to learn. Consider me pleasantly surprised. As caught up as I was in the numbers on the website, I was even more surprised when the box arrived at my door. It was big. I don’t know how, in all my worrying about RAM and storage, I never bothered to consider how large a 34 inch screen was going to be. At work I use a multiple monitor setup. Three displays total, with one oriented in portrait. So much flexibility. I love it. I wanted something similar at home, but lacked the ports, performance and physical desk space to do all that, with a relatively small desk already chock-full of miscellaneous peripherals, adapters, speakers, and cables running to and fro. The Envy 34 AIO offered me an unexpected solution to a space management issue I was barely even aware of until I unboxed this thing two weeks ago. On that topic, unboxing this thing was a surprise in and of itself. A far larger display than I had expected, the ultra-widescreen 21:9 aspect ratio lends itself really well to multi-tasking. While not quite the same as having two or more monitors, and lacking the ability to orient the monitor vertically in portrait, the additional screen real estate makes multi-tasking much more pleasant and functional than with any single display setups I’ve used previously. You can easily run two or three windows side by side without the need for constant and annoying side-to-side scrolling. And if two or more displays is a must-have for you, this machine and its variety of ports will accommodate that option as well. You will just need a much wider desk than what I have available. But despite its large display dimensions, the Envy 34 AIO offered a surprisingly small footprint on the desk itself by way of its reasonably-sized base. It also was impressively thin compared to previous AIO computers I have seen. I suppose that is a blessing of having so much room to work with in the horizontal and vertical directions behind such a large display – being able to spread out your components in a flatter arrangement. Long story short, I gained a lot of impressive-looking display area and actually used less space on the desk with this macMary

High quality desk with a smooth finish. So far no scratches or dents. Lift motor is smooth and quiet, we love the 4 memory settings. The only thing i wish for is a small drawer for pens and supplies. Easy to assemble though there were no directions in my box. There is enough room for 2 monitors but i wouldnt expect to have much more than that.Kristi

Very sturdy, easy assembly, plenty of surface area for laptop and 2 monitors and smooth height transition. I thought not having a keyboard slide-out would be a problem but there's plenty of space on the desktop. Feels great to stand throughout an 8 hour workday and with memory settings, it's effortless. This was really a 4.5 star rating for me due to desktop color (only one choice available from Sam's) and price. Highly recommend!Tee

For those of us who sit for hours a day to work, an ergonomic chair was the best we can do. They help, but you are still sitting for hours. An ergonomic table is brilliant. I love everything about it. Pros: – sit or stand, it’s up to you – sleek, simple design – a huge workplace. Plenty of room for anything you need. Dimensions are 54 x 30 x 48.4 inches. – there is a cut-out to slide your chair close -when you stand, you tuck nicely in to the same cut-out – everything you need to assemble it is included. – we snickered at the little wrenches and screwdriver. They worked though. Who knew? – instructions were readable, not riveting, but ok – it took 40 minutes to put it together. Amazing! – the motors run quietly and smooth as silk when changing the height – push-button controller with 4 memory settings – industrial strength construction – a 7-year warranty on non-electrical components – a 2-year warranty on electrical components Cons: – Extremely heavy (not really a con, since it’s constructed for durability. But be aware.) – the shipping boxes are heavy (for the same reason) you will need 2 people to manage. – our dogs do not approve of tables who do not behave like tables.usadogs

Its kinda like buying the nicest of low end furniture thats still expensive…. The pictures made the desk i got nicer that it really was. There was a very ugly design flow that they didn't show in the pictures. Theres a sizable gap between the standing desk and normal desk. They are two separate parts and one moves, so i get they wont be perfectly flush, but the gap in between is like two inches and just looks like a really lazy design. All the edges are really sharp too. Not just the corners, but all the edges. If you sit for any length of time at this desk, your forearms are gonna get sore. The desk i got didn't come with the hutch. I got the desk though. I wish i just spent a little more money and got a way better product. I was planning on buying a side table, dinner table and a little corner liquor cabinet from this site but have decided to go elsewhere now.1130 F.

Great desk. My wife and I had been searching for the perfect desk to fit our office. We searched many sites and cam across this L shaped desk at a great price. Fits in our office well and was easy to assemble and came with fast shipping! Will buy from Houzz again for sure!! Thanks!!webuser_941390121

I love the features of this desk because I can sit and stand while I work plus have room to spread out paperwork. My only complaint is one piece did not come with the predrilled holes. Luckily my nephew was able to drill the holes and complete putting the desk together.Verddi

Pros: Great value if you want very fast CPU performance and not much graphics performance. Best feature: nearly half the speed of the very fast Ryzen 9 5950X at only a quarter of the system price for multithreaded CPU-intensive work! You’re getting a $325 CPU chip plus a fast 256GB NVME SSD and 16GB RAM in a $600 sale-price computer. Can’t beat the price/performance! Easy to add a SATA SSD or 3.5” hard drive. Built-in graphics are completely adequate for a home or small business machine. Very fast system for browsing and office work or software development. I’ve made it run even faster for Iron Fish CPU-based crypto mining by putting on a much better Noctua NH-U9S air cooler with 2 fans and leaving the side panel off for better airflow. This allows auto-overclocking with Ryzen Master to all 8 cores running at 4.4 GHz continuously, and the CPU temp is only 65C. Some applications that would benefit from more memory bandwidth need a 2nd 16GB RAM DIMM added (to use the 2nd CPU memory channel). Compatible with standard DDR4-3200 CL22 DIMMs such as Crucial. Surprisingly power-efficient when not running CPU-intensive workloads (<50W from wall socket). Efficient even if you do push the CPU hard: under 90W. If it fits your needs, you’ll love the speed and the low price and the compactness. Quiet, too. Cons: not much extra power available from the power supply, and no auxiliary power connectors except for SATA ones. WiFi is weak and slow (1×1). If you need fast networking, use the gigabit LAN port. Sneaky of HP to hobble the RAM bandwidth with only a single DIMM, but for $72 you can add another 16GB DIMM and get full speed. No tweaks in the BIOS for clocking changes or RAM speed adjustment or undervolting. However, you can tune core voltage and speed manually with Ryzen Master (will void your warranty). Limited gaming potential due to small power supply and no auxiliary 6- or 8-pin power connector for a GPU card. You could put in an older 75W PCIe-powered Nvidia GPU like an RTX 1060 or RTX 1650 and do light gaming. The PCIe x16 slot is only PCIe 3.0, but it’s adequate for the add-in graphics cards above. I ended up buying a 2nd system because they fit my needs well and are very cost-effective.ProductGuy

I was looking for a moderate to high performing machine to act as my primary desktop system I use for a large variety of everyday tasks including extensive web browsing, Microsoft Office 365 Outlook, Word and Excel, photo scanning, editing and organization, financial record keeping, remote computer assistance, social media, etc. I found this machine is well up to those tasks with its 16 GM of RAM, AMD Ryzen 7 5700G 3.8 Mhz, 8 core CPU (Passmark rated at 24,587), 256 GB SSD (which I added a 2 TB internal HDD to), DVD drive, Bluetoth enabled, pre-installed Windows 11. I have been using the machine for about 2 weeks driving 4 monitors (after adding an additional 3 port graphics card to support more than the 2 graphics ports capability the machine came with) and find the performance very acceptable. I regularly have multiple programs open and active and see no degradation in performance at all. I was moderately concerned the 180 watt power supply would be sufficient to handle the HDD, graphics card and 4 port USB card I added, but it has not shown any evidence of problems at all even though I have loaded up all available ports on the back of the machine with connections to the four monitors, speakers, scanner, two backup external HDDs, wireless and wired mice, wired keyboard, webcam and Ethernet cable. All-in-all, I am very pleased with this purchase from Office Depot that I got on sale on 5-26-22 for a total, out-the-door price of $609 which was $200 off its normal price. I would recommend purchase of this HP Pavillion desktop model TP01-2096 to anyone looking for a robust system to handle multiple concurrent applications without fear of performance problemsMGump

Purchased this to replace an aging HP TouchSmart all-in-one. The computer itself is perfect. Great performance and easily expanded. Set up was easy and fast with minimal preinstalled software. The unit does not have an optical drive. But easily solved with an inexpensive external. Personally I liked the idea of the SSD only. and being able to add whatever HHD and capacity I liked separately. I use it with a variety of software CADD being the heaviest on resources. Very happy with redraw times and the graphics. About the only thing I saw as a negative was having a corded mouse and keyboard otherwise a 5/5. If you do replace it with a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse be mindful of the Windows 11 power save settings.gorbur
