Accessories & supplies
The small things that decide the result
Twenty categories of home-office accessories, judged the same way as the chairs and desks themselves: by what they change, and whether the cheap option is already good enough. A chair that rolls badly or an armrest that hurts can often be fixed for the price of a caster set rather than a new chair.
