Think carefully about what your ideal work day would look like while you shop around. Do you want to be able to access various files and papers without having to move around too much? Is it important for you to be able to stand for part of the day and sit for the rest?

Don’t forget to pick out a stylish and comfortable chair to coordinate with your new desk, too.
