It goes up and down smoothly with a slight wobble. Full also offers a wide range of add-ons so you can customize the table upon purchase.

The stand is only on one side so it won’t be difficult to place near a couch or bed and the height is adjustable. It works pretty well and you can move it aside when you’re done.
This is a pretty comfortable chair for the price. It’s completely mesh, so it’s great if you tend to get hot in the room as the mesh will allow for better airflow. You also get a headrest and the seat is also adjustable. It comes with two sets of wheels—rollers or slides—so you can make it work on different types of floors.
We love this height-adjustable footrest for people who spend hours at a time at their desks. The plush cover is machine washable and available in velvet or mesh.
Arielle Pardes by WIRED be a fan of this under-desk treadmill, which she used to burn miles every day while doing her usual job. Equipment team member Medea Giordano also loves under-desk walkers, which can help keep your body active (and mind sharp) while you work.
Table mats are a great way to keep things looking classy in your space, and these are like a giant trackpad. This microfiber rug isn’t too fancy, but at this price, it doesn’t have to be.
This polyurethane leather rug is beautiful, especially the pink color. You can flip it around to see a different color if you want to change things up. It’s easy to clean and smooth to glide.

WIRED Senior Review Editor Julian Chokkattu tested this with both Android and iPhone, and this wireless charging dock lamp met his needs. It has a USB-A port on the back for charging and has color temperature settings to set the mood of the room (warm or cool tones). It works fine after almost a year of testing.
It can be uncomfortable to lean on electrical strips on the floor. This strip extender comes with six large sockets and USB-C and USB-A ports, which is great for the office that needs to plug in a lot of things at once.

Attach this 13-inch portable display via magnet to the back of your laptop and slide it out whenever you need an extra display. It doesn’t take up any extra desk space and is great for airplane tray tables (though maybe not so much for your neighbor) and it simply connects to your laptop. you via the included USB-C cable. It’s a smart system that works reliably well.
It’s a surprisingly compact 15-inch portable monitor, and we really like the built-in kickstand for overall stability. There are plenty of connectivity options for Macs, PCs, smartphones, and gaming systems, as well as built-in stereo speakers (though you might not want to rely on them).
Need to plug multiple devices into your PC? This is especially great if you’re using an older laptop or PC that doesn’t have a USB-C port. Plug it in via USB-A, and you’ll now have access to six additional USB-A ports, two HDMI, gigabit Ethernet, and a headphone jack. If you upgrade to a machine with USB-C, you can use the adapter that came with the cable.
This is a nice entry-level wired gaming headset that we like. It works well for zoom meetings, and you can use it to share your friends online after work. It comes in a wireless versionalso.
This four-port hub has two USB-A jacks, a 100-watt USB-C port that can power a MacBook Pro, and 4K HDMI output. That’s not a lot of ports for such a large adapter, but this thing has an M.2 port for external hard drive functionality in this dock, which is pretty awesome! Note: This hub does not support NVME M.2 cards and does not include an SSD.
