Office

An ergonomic office chair? A printer that just works? We test 54 office products for a more productive workspace.

74 reviews

Office products focus on ergonomics, day-in-day-out durability, and UK home-working realities. We cover office chairs, desks, office machines (printers, shredders, 3D printers), and supplies. For chairs we verify lumbar adjustment range, seat depth adjustment, and gas-lift certification to BIFMA or EN 1335. For printers we track real-world cost per page including toner yield drop-off over time — an £80 printer with £40 cartridges that last 150 pages is worse value than a £200 one with £60 cartridges that last 500. Sit-stand desks are rated on motor noise, lift speed, and cable-management thoughtfulness. All recommendations assume UK electricals (3-pin UK plugs, 230V).

Frequently asked questions about office

Are ergonomic chairs worth the price?+
For anyone sitting more than 4 hours a day, yes — a £400–£700 chair with proper lumbar support and seat-depth adjustment dramatically reduces lower-back strain. Below £200 you're usually paying for styling, not ergonomics. Herman Miller and Humanscale hold resale value if bought new.
Laser or inkjet printer for home office?+
For mostly text documents and occasional photos, a colour laser is cheaper per page long-term and doesn't dry out between uses. For high-quality photo printing, inkjet is still the only choice — but go for an ink-tank model (Epson EcoTank, Canon MegaTank) to avoid cartridge cost shock.
How much desk height range do I actually need?+
A sit-stand desk with 70–120cm range covers 99% of adults. If you're under 160cm or over 195cm, check the low or high end of that range specifically. Motor lift speed (mm/s) matters only for frequent switchers — a 30mm/s desk takes 15 seconds to move between positions.
Are 3D printers viable for home office use?+
Yes, for prototyping, small parts, and hobby projects. Entry-level FDM printers (Bambu Lab A1, Prusa Mini) are now plug-and-play and produce usable parts in PLA without tuning. Resin printers (SLA) give higher detail but need ventilation and more post-processing.
