From a cushy cloud wrist rest to a USB-charging monitor riser, these little additions can make your workday more comfortable *and* productive. Whether you're new to working from home or have been a remote worker for years, you may not have invested much into your personal WFH space — after all, you're just there to log on and get your work done. But it's worth it to upgrade your home office situation and make it more comfortable, organized, and even cute, since it is part of your home, and it can even help boost your productivity at work. We're talking desk organization, ergonomic upgrades, and, yes, aesthetic additions that'll give you a jolt of serotonin every time you sit down to work. This stand fits any laptop from 10–15.6 inches and can be easily disassembled into three parts for easy transportation. Promising review: "This has helped my neck pain and workflow. I'm used to working in an office with monitors, and this made a big difference in my work-from-home experience by putting my screen at a comfortable eye level. The material is good quality, feels sturdy, and was simple to assemble. It comes in three pieces and is intuitive to put together without looking at directions. There are pads on the top to keep your laptop from sliding. I'm using it with a 15-inch laptop, and it's a good fit. I did get a wireless keyboard to use with it, which I would recommend. If you were to try to type on your laptop keyboard with this, it would be uncomfortable. I bought it for the ergonomics, but as a bonus, I am liking how it helps me keep my desk organized with the extra space beneath. Great product!" —M Get it from Amazon for $15.29+ (available in nine colors). This whiteboard also comes with a dry-erase marker, accessory channel (to hold the marker), and a storage drawer. Promising review: "Never thought something analog would be SO useful in my daily routine. I work from home and am constantly project managing a number of complex strategic projects. Having pertinent information directly in front of me and top of mind has done incredible things for my productivity. Never would have imagined it would make such a difference. For a nominal investment, I highly recommend it if you have trouble keeping up with things." —Captainflapjax Get it from Amazon for $27.16+ (available in four styles). It has two HDMI ports — be sure to pick up a USB-C hub if you're planning to connect a MacBook. Promising reviews: "If you work from home, you must have this in your life! Super easy to set up, great packaging, great quality, great price. I absolutely LOVE this!" —RR "Just set this monitor up, and so far it’s earned all 5 stars! It was easy to assemble, it’s compatible with my MacBook Pro (with a USB-C adapter), and the picture is great! I just wanted another monitor for when I work from home, so having something available that was affordable like this was perfect for what I needed." —Allison H. Get it from Amazon for $77.97 (also available in four other models, including 27-inch options). Other things to keep in mind: Raising your laptop or monitor up to eye level makes for better ergonomics (i.e. reduced eye and neck strain), PLUS by lifting your screen up, you make more room on your desk for storage underneath the stand. Promising review: "This was just the thing I needed for my desk. Super convenient to have the wireless charger and the USB hub too. Very good for cable management. I really love having a stand that provides additional functionality. It's a clean design, maybe the logo is a bit large and white on black so it's quite noticeable (a shade of gray on black would be nicer), but that's OK. Great stand!" —T Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "This is possibly the best bang for your buck, and I cannot recommend this enough. After researching for months for well-priced, minimalist, user-friendly monitor stands, I found this and since using it, I love admiring and using it! I don't write reviews, but I am so blessed to have finally found a product in this category that is not $200+ for a couple cuts of wood like other brands. A built-in shelf and a stand were all I needed for under $100, and this item was perfect for me!" —Tonythat_tiger Get it from Amazon for $99.90 (available in three colors). You can also use this as a regular speaker for music and podcasts and the like, and hook it up using an AUX cord or an included dongle. Conveniently, it also has a button to mute and unmute yourself, so if you're using different video platforms (or your kid is online learning) it's easy to just mute yourself manually if you can't find the button right away on the screen. Promising review: "Once I started using it as my microphone during cam sessions on Zoom and other platforms, coworkers immediately noticed how much clearer it was to hear me. The speaker on this product sounds nice, making it more enjoyable to listen to conference calls. You can also play music through it, so it can quickly become a way to get a nice little stereo wherever you may be in your home or office when paired with your phone. This is a well-thought-out product with a lot of versatility. I can connect to it quickly through a variety of ways, such as Bluetooth, the included auxiliary sound cord, or the included dongle. It also comes with a USB cable, which can charge this device up quickly. I also like that it's all black with a slick design that looks good in my office. It has a slight weight to it, which helps to keep you from accidentally knocking it to the floor, yet is light enough that I can easily throw it in my briefcase." —J Promising review: "It is a lifesaver. If you can't fit or afford a full sit-stand desk, this unit has been going up and down a few times a day for 6 months strong. Also if you think you will be standing for more than a couple of hours a day, I assure you no. That's why the manual system is great — whenever you are tired, just grab the handle and place it down quick, it doesn't require thinking or waiting." —Dave Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in three sizes and two materials). I personally use the FlexiSpot Comhar EG8 standing desk, and I really can't recommend it enough if you're ready to invest in a high-quality standing desk. I have the white desk with a glass top (pictured on the right above), and it looks super modern and elegant in my living room. There's a thin drawer in the front — you won't be storing anything super thick in there, but it's great for putting papers, sticky notes, and other small items out of the way. The actual standing desk feature works like a charm — since it's just me using this desk, I only use two of the four height presets: one for my sitting position, and one for my standing position. An anti-collision feature is also built in, meaning the desk will stop moving if it detects an obstacle in its way. I've found this feature can be a little hit or miss, so it's best to keep the area clear and just be attentive as it moves up and down. The child lock is *particularly* handy — I don't have kids around, but it's easy to bump into the control panel and accidentally activate the desk if you don't have this lock turned on. Promising review: "LOVE this desk. Super easy to assemble, and the built-in drawer keeps things so tidy. I like the child safety lock, too. It took a few weeks to arrive but was very well-packaged. The quality blows me away. Before the pandemic, I worked at various offices with all different kinds of stand-up desks, and this one by far is the most versatile and well made. This is a must-have upgrade if you're working from home. Beautiful, functional and the child lock feature makes it safe if kids are around. Can't recommend enough." —Brie Get it from Amazon for $229.99+ (available in six colors, with a glass or wood top, and two sizes). It comes in two pieces — one you can prop in front of your keyboard, and the other in front of your mouse. Promising review: "I've been working from home due to COVID and began experiencing wrist pain. The soft cushion from both items provided the relief I needed. Great products and price!" —Gaga15 Get it from Amazon for $13.90+ (available in 24 colors). This style was made popular by Logitech, which released a cloud wrist rest as part of their gorgeous Aurora collection, but that one is often out of stock and only available to buy in bundles (FWIW I do have the full set with their keyboard and love it). This is a nice way to get the same look for cheap; plus, it comes in way more colors! Promising review: "When it comes to my desk setup, I’m all for aesthetics but also practicality. I genuinely need a wrist rest for my keyboard, and I’m super picky about the way they feel. This wrist rest is super squishy and AMAZING quality. It’s comfortable and super cute. I’m obsessed!" —Mel🤍 Get it from Amazon for $13.45 (available in 22 colors). The set includes a wireless keyboard and mouse with a USB receiver for a 2.4GHz connection. Pick up some AA batteries; both will need them! You can check out how the clicking sounds in this TikTok. Promising review: "Absolutely amazing keyboard. Colors are eye-catching and make a drab office pop with color! I am currently the envy of the office. Ladies in the other departments are waiting on their own to come in now after seeing mine. Easy plug/play. It travels between home and office with me. Love the keys on this as well. Sleep mode seems to pop on kinda quick, but it's nothing bad. Just push a button or click the mouse and it's on again. I have had mine for about a month now and will not be going back to any other style!" —Nikki Bell Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in 13 styles). Promising review: "This mouse pad is tacky on the backside which I didn't realize, but I really like. It keeps it from sliding around. Overall this is a great product for the money and keeps my hand/wrist from hurting throughout the day." —Julie Dunfee Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in 32 different styles). There's a hole in the back of the mouse pad, so you can use this with a wired or wireless mouse! The USB-rechargeable mouse pad has a time switch so you can set it to run for two, four, or eight hours (and automatically turn off afterward) and variable heat settings from 110 to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Promising review: "I am cold ALL THE TIME except when it's 110 degrees in the summer, and then I have to sit outside because my husband turns the air conditioner on and I start shivering. I have heated socks, a heated vest, heated blankets, heated jacket, and now I have added this heated mouse pad to my collection. It is perfect. Keeps my hand toasty warm the whole time I'm on my computer, not too hot and not too cool. The wrist pad is comfortable and the texture inside is soft but breathable. Works perfectly with my wireless mouse and has a USB to plug right into my laptop so I don't have to spare an extra outlet. I wish I'd known these existed when I was working all day in a freezing cold office!" —K. Darklighter Promising review: "Perfect little fan — I run it 24/7! It’s the perfect size for my desk and provides a steady, cool breeze without taking up too much space. I love that it’s USB-powered, making it super convenient to plug into my computer or power bank." —Adam Kulhawik Get it from Amazon for $12.78+ (available in two colors). This dock comes with seven USB cables, including three lightning cables, three micro-USB cables, and one Type-C cable for compatibility with Apple, Android, and other devices. You can charge phones, tablets, smart watches, and even a Nintendo Switch in this thing. (Note: You can also buy more short cables for this dock in each type as needed — linked above!) Promising review: "This charging station does a great job of decluttering the desk area from all the wires needed to charge a family of six different devices. It charges VERY quickly! The light up feature that indicates charging is finished is really neat. It takes up very little space on the desk, which is fantastic. Highly recommend! (Only drawback is that it comes with a hodgepodge of cords for different types of devices, so in order to charge all of our Apple devices, I bought an add-on pack of only Apple charging cables, but not a deal breaker!)" —Debra Vaught Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three colors and a 4-port version). Each of the attachments has a sticky film that's strong enough to adhere to your monitor frame, but easy enough to remove that it won't damage it. That said, you shouldn't paste this directly *on* the screen — if your monitor has a narrow frame, this wouldn't be compatible. Promising review: "I have 568 stickies on any given day and this is exactly what I needed to keep myself organized. They came packaged nicely, no cracks or scratches, and was easy to adhere. The adhesive is awesome. It's not going anywhere!!! I recommend this to anyone like me who needs a cool place for their notes. You will be the envy of your coworkers!" —Mason's Mom Get it from Amazon for $6.95+ (available with or without the phone holder). In the six-piece set, you'll get two 3"x3" bins, two 6"x3" bins, and two 9"x3" bins. Promising review: "Great product! I bought these to put in my nightstand drawer to store small things, as the drawer is very deep. I've got ChapStick, hand lotions, a small flashlight, and other bedside items in them so they're not just rolling around the drawer. I just bought some more for my bathroom vanity. They fit together nicely but also lift right out of each other. The plastic is sturdy, and they came individually wrapped to keep them from scratching." —Sparkyj Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in larger sets). Promising review: "Thank goodness I came across these mats! Lifesaver when it comes to my mouse falling off of the small mouse pad. Nice and comfy for my small computer table. Just what I needed. A MUST have." —Regina Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 19 colors and five sizes). This cordless mouse is recommended for small- to medium-sized hands — if you have large hands, Logitech recommends the MX vertical mouse! Get a closer look at this mouse on TikTok, where the reviewer talks about how much more comfortable they find using it compared to a traditional mouse. Promising reviews: "I am a graphic designer and my hand was hurting so much using my other mouse that I couldn’t work efficiently. I tried this mouse, and the pain and stiffness in my hand is gone. I’ll never go back! I will say it definitely takes a few days to get back to your normal working speed but now that I’m used to the mouse I love it. I use it with a keyboard to the left and then an Apple trackpad to the left of the keyboard for scrolling and panning. It’s comfortable and easy to use. You can download the mouse software and customize buttons on it, so I like that I have a copy and paste button now to cut down on hand movements on my keyboard." —Abigail Biegert "This mouse is perfect for smaller hands, or people who have any kind of hand pain. I find this extremely comfortable. The buttons on the mouse are very easy to push, and they’re quiet. If you have any arthritis or discomfort in your hand, this is perfect!" —Jaye Hockenberry Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in three colors and in a right-handed or left-handed style). Promising review: "I have a computer table with no drawers or shelves and no place to put them. Love this product — it's easily installed on the side of my computer table and keeps my papers and supplies organized within reach and out of sight; mostly it keeps my workspace clear. There is a way to tighten it to the desk or table, but I haven't used it, I just slid it onto my desk and voila! Instant neatness. <3!" —Codergurl Get it from Amazon for $40.44+ (available in four styles). Promising review: "These things are amazing. I have one in almost every room of my house. The light is just enough to be able to see at night to use the restroom or navigate the house without turning every light on. I love that the USB ports are built-in — no more looking for an adapter. AND the plugs are set far enough apart you can plug some of the bigger things like Google assistant or large AC adapters and still have plenty of room!!! These are a must-have in a tech or smart home." —SeiranCrow Sleek Socket is a small biz focused on sleek power outlet solutions for the home! Promising review: "This product is awesome! We bought one in the office to stop a nearby chair from continuously hitting the outlet plugs. It solved the problem right away. So we ordered three more to use anywhere there is bulk on the wall. It saves space, makes arranging furniture and desks easy, it's clean looking. Someone is a genius. Thanks so much!" —Jay Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in three lengths, a dual cord option, a "smart" style, and an inverted outlet style). Promising review: "For anyone with cable clutter, this is a god-sent solution. You can even stick it if you're mounting it to a wall. These days everything is electric and there are just too many wires in my house. I can used this to make everything look clean again. I love how my house looks now. Lifesaver!" —David Rizk Get a pack of six from Amazon for $16.97+ (available in three colors and two sizes). Promising review: "One of the best things I have purchased for my home office. This box is large enough to hold my large and wide power strip and all the cords plugged into it. I have a large monitor, a laptop, a docking station, 2 Dyson lamps, a pencil sharpener, and a couple of other electronics to plug in — everything looks organized and tidy now. I equally love the long fabric organizer that came with it — it tied up all the cords leading into the box for the perfect finishing touch. I love that it's real wood. So happy with this purchase!" —J. Davis Get it from Amazon for $45.97+ (available in four styles and two sizes). Covogoods is a Utah-based, woman-founded small business that specializes in storage solutions crafted from up-cycled books. Promising review: "This is perfect for hiding our router and accessories in our bookcase. Love it!" —supergirl Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $39+ (you'll choose your customizations before adding to your cart!). I've had this exact lumbar support pillow since 2018, back when I was still working in an office, and I can't express enough how much it's improved my posture and reduced back pain after long hours of sitting. I initially got it because I was stuck working in one of those awful office chairs with zero lower back support, and years later, I still use it at home, even though I have one of those fancy gaming chairs with built-in adjustable lumbar support, simply because I prefer how soft and comfortable this pillow is. It fills the curve of your spine *perfectly*, and you can adjust the positioning as needed, with straps that go around the back of your chair to hold it steady. I personally use it in conjunction with an ErgoFoam footrest, and I never have back pain after working anymore. Promising review: "Both my fiancé and I work from home. He has a proper office and office chair and I work at our dining room table. I figured it was time to invest in something to help my back while sitting all day. Works really well! I should have done this months ago." —Emily Racioppi Promising review: "I have a cute but not great desk chair that I sit in all day in my home office, and my back was KILLING ME — it was making an old tailbone injury worse, and my spine was hurting a lot. I didn't want to spend $$$ on a new desk chair, and I figured this pillow was a good way to bridge the gap. I've been using it 8 hours a day for two months, and it's fantastic. I have zero back pain at all anymore, and it's sturdy and hasn't worn out or gotten less cushy. Highly recommended, and much better than getting a fancy new ergonomic desk chair that costs hundreds of dollars." —Bee_87 Get it from Amazon for $47.99+ (available in six styles). I've been using this particular footrest for years, and I can say I didn't realize how uncomfortable I was while sitting until I had this. I'm 5'3" and use the full height of this footrest to ensure my feet are completely supported, but you can remove the bottom part to adjust the height if needed. The velvety cover also comes off and can be tossed in the washing machine for easy cleaning. Promising review: "GAME changer. I have slowly built up my perfect ergonomic setup at home and this was the last piece! It has helped my circulation and relieved pressure on my lower back." —Brian & Hannah Kim Get it from Amazon for $41.95+ (available in three colors and velvet or mesh styles). Some reviewers compare this to the Hue LightStrip and prefer this option, considering it's a fraction of the price! I own the old version of this light (before this newer model released) and still absolutely love it. First of all, it's SOOO easy to put on the wall — it comes with these little adhesive plastic brackets that you just slide onto the rope and then press against the wall, and continue adding them as needed to support the shape you're making. The Govee app makes it so easy to program the lighting however I like, and it's upgraded my nighttime cozy vibes in a MAJOR way. Also, I recently moved apartments and re-mounted my Govee rope light in a different shape on my new wall, and it was just as easy as the first time (just be careful removing the adhesive brackets as it can rip paint off — this happened to me with one of them, but we patched it easily). I'll probably come back for this improved model eventually, which is made of even more flexible, softer materials and has improved lighting effects and upgraded bend clips. Plus, they now only offer this light in 9- and 16-foot lengths, which totally makes sense — mine is the old 6-foot version that they don't even sell anymore, probably because it's not quite long enough to make elaborate shapes with. You might not think you need that much length, but once you start creating waves and shapes on your wall, you'll realize it's very much needed to get the full effect! Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in three lengths). The distance determines how wide and intense the light is — position it farther away for a softer diffused light, or closer up to focus the colorful beam on a specific spot. Promising reviews: "Easy to use and set up. Originally we bought this lamp for the cold and dark winter months to give a nice sun glow in the office room — we loved the warm light so much we moved it into our living room and use it almost every day! Highly recommend!!" —Alex Harris "This lamp really exceeded my expectations. I bought it on a whim and honestly wasn't expecting that much, but I'm really happy with it. Feels like it's made of durable, quality material and emits a strong light, but it's not *too* bright. Highly recommend — really does feel like you're watching a lovely sunset :)" —amazon customer Get it from Amazon for $13.29+ (available in three styles). Check out an unboxing and review on TikTok. Promising review: "This chair is unique because it has a large, wide seat that allows you to sit in different positions, including cross-legged. It is also supremely comfortable with the quality of cushions. I'm 5'8" and I find it spacious with an appropriate amount of height adjustability for feet on the ground. So far great for all day office use!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $101.52+ (available in genuine or faux leather, a fleece style, a brown color, and with or without wheels). It's recommended for people ranging from 5' to 5'11" tall. If you have a tall desk that isn't adjustable and you find this chair a bit too low to the ground, you can pick up leg extenders to add extra height. Promising review: "I have issues with my lower back and have struggled for years to find the right office chair for my home office. I sit and work about eight to 10 hours a day. Never thought about a ball chair until my doctor said maybe I should try it. Oh my goodness. Why didn’t he suggest this sooner?!! It works fantastic. Because it forces you to sit in an upright position and not slouch it relieves the pressure on the lower back and shoulder blades. While my pain is not completely gone it has gotten better and will probably continue to improve the longer I use the chair. While everyone has different issues and different pain who knows if it will work for you but it did for me. Try it! You might just be amazed." —Katy Get it from Amazon for $75.98 (available in five styles). Promising review: "I had this blank corner in my living room and I just knew this ladder desk would be a gorgeous addition to the area. I don't have an extra room for an office or even the kind of space in our small home to designate to a bulky desk. It was very easy to assemble, it took maybe 25 minutes to put together. I love having my own spot to get my work done on my MacBook. Plus, this spot is perfect to work on any crafts/DIYs. I added a pouf seat instead of a chair just to save even more space since it easily slides underneath the desk. Anyway, I'm so stoked about this purchase! I highly recommend it." —Heather Nicholson Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in two colors and two-packs). Promising review: "I just moved into a house with a boring view of the side of the neighbor's garage from my home office, and I spend WAY too much time in my office. This stuff makes a rainbow migrate throughout the day from the floor to the wall and makes my long work day a lot more tolerable! It also blocks my boring view of the neighbor's garage and their view in my window. It looks cool at night too." —Ariel Dutton Get it from Amazon for $5.51+ (available in 14 sizes and four colors). Promising review: "This product works really well! I needed a quick fix to my home office situation. I live in an apartment in Manhattan and never noticed how much sound comes in and out until I had to be on conference calls working from home! This little tape made a big difference, took me a couple of minutes to install." —Sandra Revueltas Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in four colors and two lengths). The shelves come in two separate parts that can be arranged close together or spread further apart, depending on what you need! Promising review: "Excellent product! I have been searching for an organizer to put on the top of my dresser, and I could never find anything unique, functional and not too big. I came across this organizer and took a chance since I wasn't seeing it in person. I am so glad I did! The product arrived overnight (instead of two days) and was super easy to put together... just follow the pictures exactly as shown. They even included a screwdriver, so you don't need anything extra to put it together. It is super cute, fun and fits perfectly. I definitely recommend." —lmeglin Get them from Amazon for $23.39+ (available in six colors and packs of two). Reviewers suggest turning the heat down from high to medium once the drink gets down to about the halfway point so it stays a comfortable temperature! After seeing this coffee warmer all over BuzzFeed Shopping and even gifting my dad one for Christmas, I finally decided to buy one for myself. Based on all the reviews, I was pretty confident I'd soon be kicking myself for not getting it sooner, and that proved to be true: This thing not only looks good, but works great for keeping my coffee warm all day long (because yes, I'm one of those people that'll sip on coffee until 5 p.m., all right!!). I was kind of worried it'd be too small for some of my larger mugs, but the center plate is bigger than expected and accommodated every mug in my (very eclectic) collection perfectly. I can confirm that flat-bottomed mugs are the best option for using with this warmer as they do stay hotter, but it still keeps my concave-bottom mugs warm enough for my taste. Also, I looove how sleek the white version looks on my white desk, and the auto-shutoff function is a nice safety feature as an absent-minded person. Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in 13 styles). Psst — If you pick this up, check out this reviewer's great installation tips for applying it to a desk! Promising review: "I purchased this for the sit-to-stand desk that I recently got to dress it up a bit and couldn't be happier with how it turned out! The contact paper is thick and great quality. It does not easily tear and easy to install! Adhesion is amazing! Easy peel, yet would stick again with no problem! Glossy finish and seamless look!" —NotSoChillMom Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 11 sizes and six styles). This USB-powered ring light has three light colors (warm, warm white, or white) and 10 different brightness levels, with an anti-scratch metal clamp. Promising review: "Being new to the tech world I was concerned about being able to use this light to best effect, but turns out it is so simple to set up and has made all the difference in how I look and how people can see items I want to show them on Zoom calls. I did find the clamp to be too tight for my older hands to manage but found it works quite well sitting on the desktop." —me Promising review: "I just invested in a new custom-built laptop for my job and was seeking a lap desk that was comfortable to use while laying in bed (I work from home, for the most part). I'm generally on my computer for at least 10 hours a day, so it was important to me that I selected the right lap desk that fit my needs. This product was the answer! It is lightweight and comfortable on the legs (and stomach) due to the foam padding on the bottom. It also provides the perfect elevation for typing. Highly recommend! —Kiki Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in six colors and two sizes). Promising review: "Simple straightforward product. Easy to mount and run wires to a power source. Works awesome under my standing desk and adds additional USB support for my gear." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four colors). You can also work with your MacBook store below by putting it in closed-display mode — this holder is designed so that USB, HDMI, and power cables can be plugged in while the laptop is stored and closed, and it provides ample ventilation as well. Beyond 3D Creations is a Boston-based Etsy shop that specializes in 3D design and electronic accessories. Promising review: "Excellent! I use a second monitor as my primary screen when using my laptop, and this device has been amazing for two reasons: 1) It saves valuable desk space, and 2) the laptop tucked under the desk still allows air to flow through the laptop vents, which helps prevent it from overheating. This clever little gadget has solved so many problems and I’m loving how clean my desk setup is. 10/10 would recommend." —Emma Ayau Get it from Beyond 3D Creations on Etsy for $15.88+ (available in three colors and two sizes, or a custom size). Promising review: "This is definitely a hit! I installed it horizontally because my desk has a square frame under it that I couldn’t put it on as the instruction, but it still does its job. Now I’m so used to reaching my phone from this holder without looking down at my desk, and my screentime has decreased a lot during day time. I work remotely from home, this really helps in terms of being more efficient so that I can finish my work early and get more me time back at the end of the day. Highly recommend it if you want to be less distracted while working!" —Shelby Cedrone Get it from Beyond 3D Creations on Etsy for $11.88+ (available in six colors; custom sizing available). This holder also has grippy pads on the bottom so it doesn't slide around or scratch your desk! Promising review: "I bought this for all of the Zoom meetings I was conducting at home. It works great! It’s very sturdy and allows me a good angle when speaking to clients. Would recommend." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in five colors). Of course, you can use it as a phone stand too. Promising review: "I got this for my iPad. It is compact enough to sit on my desk without wasting space, but large enough to hold the iPad securely. I love the tilt feature and the fact that it holds the iPad vertically and horizontally. I have a case with a lid and bumpers around the edge, but it fits perfectly." —ShortGirl86 Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors). It also comes with a digital display that tracks time, speed, and distance, as well as eight different modes of resistance, so you can tailor it exactly to your needs. Promising review: "No assembly required! Took right out of the box and put it under my desk. Spend long hours on the computer and suffer from hip and leg pain. Use the exerciser on and off all day especially first thing in the morning to loosen up joints. Felt the different in just a couple of days. Just what I needed." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in two colors and other styles). See it in action in this TikTok! Its speed range is 0.5–6mph and its weight capacity is 220 pounds. Promising review: "This thing is awesome. I'm a small, not technical person and managed to haul this thing up two flights of stairs (slowly), unbox, turn on and even connect my phone to the Bluetooth in it. No assembly. Simple instructions. Distance and time measurements seem to be accurate, but the 'calories' might be missing a decimal point. No squealing or groaning under my walking. Not too loud. Slides right under my bed. Didn't need to adjust the belt, though the tool to do so is included. Packaging says to oil every 30 hours. The remote is needed to make the treadmill function. It is extremely cheap — like dollar store cheap. I hope the company has a remote replacement for if/when the remote bites it. Even still, I would 100% buy this again. Great treadmill!" —Crowells Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in four colors and a mini style). A Command strip is included with every purchase. And BTW, the sliding options can be customized, too! Just make sure to select "Custom" under "# of Choices" and note your preferences to the seller.

OMG it’s better than I imagined! The quality is...so good and really well made! I was giggling when I personalized it with 'big boss Gregor' and couldn’t wait till it got here. Shipping was so fast!
