A Tiny Studio Apartment Has the Chicest Standing Desk (for Under $50!)

"Joseph loves hosting guests, and while he has a full-size mahogany desk, he found himself having to put his computer on the floor when using it as a table, which wasn't ideal. He needed a solution. "Incorporating a standing desk allowed me to free up my main desk for dining and entertaining while not having to worry about kicking over my computer," he explains."

"Joseph's apartment is over 100 years old, so it was important for him to find shelves that matched the existing details, like the crown molding above the radiator. He landed on a set of two Axeman shelves from Amazon. The shelves come in five sizes, ranging from 24 to 72 inches, and in two colors (white and black). What attracted Joseph to these shelves is the timeless crown molding look, which doesn't stand out from the rest of the room's details."

"Another bonus? The shelves are deep enough to fit his laptop, keyboard, and mouse. Plus, the brand boasts that they can hold up to 40 pounds, so he doesn't have to worry about his computer falling. Now, he can stand while he works, host friends at his main desk without moving his setup, or use the shelves for extra storage. A win-win!"

""The shelves introduced flexibility. I now have a dedicated area for focused work while keeping my primary surface open for hosting," Joseph says. "In a small space, that kind of adaptability makes the entire apartment""

Joseph needed a way to use his computer without placing it on the floor while keeping his main mahogany desk available for dining and entertaining. He created a standing desk by using two Axeman shelves from Amazon that matched the apartment’s historic details, including crown molding proportions. The shelves are available in multiple sizes and in white or black, and they feature a timeless crown molding look that blends with the room. The shelves are deep enough for a laptop, keyboard, and mouse, and they are rated to hold up to 40 pounds. The setup provides a dedicated standing work area and extra storage while preserving the primary surface for guests.
