At the office, we usually spend the majority of the day generally unconcerned about the posture and position of our bodies while we work. Research says that for every 45 mins of sitting, we need to take a break and stretch for 5 minutes. So if you have a desk that takes care of this, it will be ideal.

The posture and the accessibility of work area should be of prime importance . A foldable worktop for laptops and a standing work counter gives you good access to work and also some easy movement to legs and quickly move around. We would also need multiple work stations in different areas of the house as more than one person maybe on call or working in their own time zones. So lets get going with few basic furniture accessories that can make life easy. I have provided the links to few of the sites for you to search easily. I personally like the Ebco fittings and their personalized supervision for fixing few fixtures.

• The height of your worktop should be set according to your height such that you work without reaching or bending; forearms must be parallel to the floor; head, neck and wrists should always be relaxed and not forced into any unnatural or stressful position.

• Smart Lift Table Legs allow you to adjust the height of your desk to enable you to sit at a position that is most comfortable for your body, or stand which increases blood circulation and reduces fatigue. QUICK LINK TO BUY

 This can be easily put in a kitchen corner or a lobby and does not spoil the interiors at all. Also, two people cannot work in one room and it gives an extra work table. QUICK LINK TO BUY

The regular table height and the height for the laptop workstations should be lower. Either the table should be lower of a keyboard should be attached and used from the keyboard pullout. If possible chop off around 2 inches of the legs or raise the chair level. Raising the chair level often is not very comfortable as the legs just swing around. I advise a footrest. Keep a puffy or any small plastic stool under the table.
