The New Way of Working: Today, work is, apart from the office, done from home, restaurant, car... – in one word, from any place, so the work only from the office is long forgotten. The number of people who chose the “home office” increases on a daily basis.

To the increased need for work at home, the producers came up with a furniture named home office, which appear in the following basic types:

• Home office writing desks
• Secretary

• Laptop stands
• Console tables

At home conditions, elements of furniture with other basic purpose can also be used for work. They have undergone certain changes and have acquired new characteristics to meet the needs of a modern user.

I will present you my choice of desirable Home office writing desks. Each desk will help in showing their most significant characteristics , and not in fully presenting each chosen desk.

Characteristics

Bulky writing desks are “out” of fashion and from use. They have been replaced by desks of harmonious dimensions, primarily functional and flexible.
