I think IKEA has a few if you're looking for price-conscious options (and who isn't these days?).

It's hit or miss under $500. I have an Ikea one that had bad reviews but mine is a short term hit. If you are mechanical or DIY-handy you can repair if needed (I did).

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.

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!
