Any desk recommendations?
Preferably the cheapest, whether that's the base price or how things come out with the fitness subsidy if it's a standing desk.
Doesn't need to be too big but would like...

To be able to use a separate monitor.
Also, drawers or a shelf underneath a surface of the desk would be a plus. Not crazy about aesthetics as long as it's homely and not hideous.

I see some stuff in the $100 range that's not standing and I'm not sure if getting a more expensive standing desk would make things come out either cheaper or nearly the same price, post tax, if I want all the same features (size and drawers)

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Anyone have a good office chair recommendation? Really not trying to spend more than $150 but willing to go to $200 if there is a really good recommendation.

Thanks!

Looking for a home office chair…I need something really ergonomic/comfortable but given the visibility of the office in the house the wife wants something stylish.

I feel like I’ve looked everywhere (Steelcase, Herman Miller, humanscale, Haworth, xchair, etc).
