I got the Seville classic airlift on amazon and LOVE it. Super easy to assemble, great height range so partner and I can both use. I have zero complaints about this desk and I’m one to always find “improvement opportunities”. Looked into some other more expensive brands but couldn’t justify the extra spend. I love the variety of surface and leg color options - it was important that the desk matched my home decor vibe.

I have a bar area in my apartment and it’s basically the perfect height for this.

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.

Soon I will be working on designing a shared home office for my husband and me. Any ideas for the best kind of set up for this? For context, I work from home and he does not, but he is also an attorney who needs a desk and space to be able to work from home when needed. Thoughts on two separate desks facing each other, on separate walls, along a single wall? The only thing that I think would be a little weird is if we were back to back, in case of my video calls for work

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!

Work from home: Any recommendations for a standing desk? I will be placing two large monitors & two laptops on it so I need lots of space. I hear they can get a bit wobbly the higher you raise them, but I’m all of 5’2 so... Also need recs for a supportive office chair too.

Can anyone share their WFH setup so I can get some inspiration on what I can/should do? Any tips are helpful. Our department will likely be moving to WFH permanently in the coming weeks/months.

I already travel a lot and this boundary is super important to me. Am I right or wrong?
