The big items that every office needs - desks and chairs
This is the literal chair I use now in 2026, I got it second hand, it's no longer available commercially. It's so comfy, having my feet up stops me from curling up into weird shapes on the chair, and it's the perfect height for my body (165cm)
Childcare Metal Glider Rocker + Ottoman - Sand
Looks like a good dupe for my actual glider chair, it's also low profile. And it's got scratch resistant fabric unlike mine
Babyhood Diva Glider Chair with Ottoman from Bubs n Grubs
This is the actual desk I use, except its no longer for sale. I have it extended to 160cm wide. Usually I have it in sitting mode, to use with my glider chair. Sometimes I'll put it in standing mode and use my stepper with it. I put my own wood top on it, that I bought from Bunnings.
Giantex Electric Dual-Motor Stand up Desk Frame Width & Height Adjustable Base
This is the closest match to my electric desk that Giantex still sells, as at August 2026. Its fixed at 160cm wide, unlike mine that had adjustable width. But it's the same lift mechanism and controller.
Giantex 160x60cm Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk on Ebay
This is what I used for the sit stand desk's top. $92.13 per metre. I used a piece 160cm wide. I love the variations in color, and it's been strong enough for supporting my dual monitors.
SpecRite 2400 x 900 x 33mm Brown Acacia Multi-Use Timber Panel at Bunnings
I got 2 of these second hand, black outside with white drawers. I have one on each side of my desk. The right one has my computer tower on it, the left has my drawing tablet. The drawers have nice smooth runners, and together I have plenty of space f...

The Accessories
Smaller items that elevate the office setup, like lighting and cup holders
A solid functioning lamp. I like the moveable neck so I can point the light where I need, and the footprint isn't too big. I used a velcro strap to hold the switch higher on the neck for ease of access.
LERSTA Floor/reading lamp - aluminium chrome effect on Ikea
This cup holder clamps onto my desk, and can be easily unscrewed and moved. Fits big cups, is very sturdy and stable. It's a shame its out of stock though
Creative Memories Cup Caddy - Memory Crafting Australia OUT OF PRODUCTION
Surprisingly solid and effective for a Shein item. You can adjust the resistance of the stepper with a twisting knob, and it has elastic straps to add arm workouts. I use this when my desk is in standing mode, makes for a good workout
