Most desks ask you to pick a size and live with it. This one extends, so the working surface grows when you need room for a second monitor and moves back in when the room has to do something else — with a safety fitting that keeps the extended top steady rather than letting it give under your elbows.
Storage is divided three ways: open shelves, drawers and cabinet doors, so books, stationery and everyday items stop sharing one pile. The right-hand cabinet includes an open bay with an adjustable shelf and a cut-out in the back panel, which is where a PC tower or printer tends to end up.
A cable hole in the desktop and a built-in socket put power where you sit, cutting the extension-lead sprawl, while a multi-colour LED strip shifts the mood from working to unwinding. Finished in a light wood effect over a particle board carcass. Assembly takes two people around 90 minutes.
