Folks, recommendations for adjustable home office desk? Currently, thinking between “autonomous smartdesk 2” and “Tresanti adjustable electric desk” at Costco. Welcome any reviews and/or suggestions. Thanks in advance!

I went with autonomous. I was a bit hesitant as they come off as more of a marketing company than a quality desk company. With that said, I’ve used the desk for a few months now and I’m very happy with it. Definitely a recommend from me.

I use the Tresanti in black, great desk the outlets on the side of the desk are lifesaving. Along with the glass desktop it’s nice to write on it with marker.

Try progressive desk. I have it for 4 months now. Very sturdy. You can customize the table when you order. Delivery was smooth and on time. You have to put together the desk and that might take 2-3 hours. Overall I would give it a 4.5/5. I think the table will last for 2-3 years easily as it is strong and well built. I feel bad that they don’t market it enough which makes people not recognize the brand and buy it more.

Find it’s to pricey compared to other tables in market. Tho the custom built aspect is a good sell.

Thanks guys. I’m going ahead with the Tresanti one, will keep you posted on it.

Poll: What dress code do you follow at your home office?

Trying to avoid paying an accountant, can I actually write off home office space/mileage if I was just permalancing for 3 months last year? Shouldn’t the 7 months of W2 take care of this 1099 shit?

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.

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
