Home Office workstation

Options
Hi there,

Hoping someone might have a recommendation for good value home office furniture - I'm after a decent quality lockable cabinet that will house the PC etc. I've tried some of the well known brands (Ikea, Staples, few others) but wondered if anyone has any other suggestions.

Cheers for any help.

  • Hi Daisy, I bought a good quality one quite recently from a company. If you send a message I'll give you the details.

    Hi daisyh,

    I used to work in the office furniture industry. A good bet is to go to Costco, if you have one near you.

    They sell lockable storage units at a reasonable price, and they tend to be office quality rather than home office quality, which will generally last longer. Another option is to get a second hand one from a local stationers, generally these things are hard as nails and last for years.

    Other than that, if you are setting up a home business, or working with a charity, you may be able to get a good second hand storage unit from green-works, a social enterprise which recycles the really posh furniture of blue chip companies and sells it onto charities and start-up businesses. You may not want second hand, but it can get you much better quality for a lower price.
