Frequently Asked Questions
What should I buy first for my home office?
An ergonomic chair is the #1 priority — you sit in it 8+ hours daily and it directly impacts your health and focus. Second priority: a good monitor at eye level. Everything else can be upgraded over time.
Is a standing desk worth it?
Yes, but not because standing is 'healthier' than sitting. The value is in movement variation — alternating between sitting and standing reduces back pain and increases energy. An electric sit-stand desk at $300-600 is worth every penny.
What's the minimum budget for a decent setup?
~$500-600 gets you a solid foundation: ergonomic chair ($200), a 27" monitor ($250), and a keyboard/mouse combo ($60). Use your existing desk temporarily and upgrade to a standing desk later.
