Office Desk

Create Your Best Work Spot With Amart's Desks

Feeling scattered when it's time to sit down and work? The right desk can change that.

Our range of home office desks suits everything from student study spots to full-scale workstations. Designed with function and style in mind, they help you stay focused and feel more organised.

At Amart, you’ll find quality desks that fit your routine, your room, and your budget. From compact corners to wide work zones, there’s a setup here that works for you!

What type of desk fits your home office?

Not all desks work the same way. The best fit depends on your space, routine, and how much storage you need.

These are some of the desk types you'll find at Amart:

• Home office desks: Designed to handle everyday tasks, perfect for building a reliable workstation or even doubling as gaming desks in tighter spaces.
• Corner desks: A smart use of awkward spots, ideal when you need room to spread out as you would on executive desks, without taking over the whole room.
• Student desks: Also known as study desks, these suit bedrooms or shared areas where simple setups are key.
• Desks with shelves: Great for keeping devices, books or supplies off the surface without needing extra furniture around your workstation.

What materials make the best desks?

Shape isn’t the only thing that matters. What your desk is made from can change how it feels, lasts, and fits into your space.

Amart’s collection covers everything from tough metal frames to wood-look finishes and easy-care laminate. You’ll find soft grey, black and white desks, and timber tones in light, medium or dark.

Each tabletop is made to handle daily use, whether it’s a compact study spot or a larger computer desk.

Picking between compact, standard and large desks

Size plays a big role in how your desk works day to day. A great finish won’t help if it doesn’t fit the room.

To help you choose, think about where it’s going and what you need on it. Amart’s range of office desks includes everything from compact student desks to oversized surfaces for serious multitasking.

Think about how your space works and match the desk to fit:

• Compact desks: Best for small apartments, bedrooms or tucked-away study nooks.
• Standard desks: A good fit for most home offices with space for a laptop, lamp and a few extras.
• Large desks: Suits multi-monitor setups or executive spaces where more surface makes work easier.

How high should a desk be?

If your desk height isn’t right, your body feels it by midday. Most seated desks sit between 70 and 75cm, which suits most adults. For standing desk or sit-stand desk setups, aim for a height where your elbows stay bent at 90 degrees.

Some people add a riser to lift their screen or keyboard, especially for longer days. An ergonomic setup supports better posture and makes focus easier.

How deep should a desk be?

Desk depth can make or break your setup. Too shallow, and you're cramped. Too deep, and things feel out of reach.

For most Australian home offices, 60cm is fine for a laptop, while 75cm or more suits desktops and wider writing setups. If you need extra storage space, look for built-in shelves or a return that keeps things close but tidy.

What should you consider when buying a desk?

Your desk needs to suit the way you live and work. The perfect desk feels right in your routine, whether you work from home daily or just need a space to study.

Start with these core checks:

• Room use: Think about how the room functions. The desk’s functionality should match the space it’s in, whether it’s a shared zone or a dedicated office.
• Work habits: Your setup should support how you work, from writing and laptop time to task switching.
• User type: A student needs simplicity. Remote workers may need more storage, surface area and durability for everyday use.

Features that separate good desks from great ones

Good desks do their job. Great ones feel built for how you live and work. If you're chasing quality that lasts, watch for these details:

• Sturdy materials. Timber looks or metal frames give strength and help create a more stable work environment.
• Smooth drawer construction. Drawers that glide well and hold their shape help keep your setup clutter-free.
• Refined finishes. Clean edges and balanced colours suit a modern office, whether it’s black, white or natural timber.
• Style that holds up. Scandi and Industrial touches bring personality without going out of style.
• Reliable warranty. A clear warranty shows the desk is made for real, everyday use.

What should you add to your desk setup?

The right desk is only part of the picture. A few smart additions can turn a basic setup into something that works better every day.

To keep things running smoothly, think about adding:

• Supportive desk chairs. Look at office chairs that suit your height and posture for long stretches at the desk.
• Extra storage. Use bookcases, drawers or a hutch to clear the clutter without losing reach.
• Better lighting. A desk lamp helps reduce eye strain and keeps your focus sharp.
• Tidy cable management. Clips or trays keep cords out of the way and off the floor.
• Ergonomic accessories. A raised screen or footrest can make long hours feel more comfortable.

When is the best time to buy a desk?

Once your setup plan is sorted, timing your buy can help you save.

In Australia, the best deals often land around EOFY, back-to-school season and big events like Black Friday. Amart also runs regular sale offers, so it’s smart to keep an eye on our online store.

If you’re flexible on timing, waiting for a sale can mean better value without cutting corners.
