One of the favorite series on this site \u2014 at least, as far as many of our staff are concerned \u2014 is\u00a0\u201cWhat\u2019s on your desk?\u201d<\/a>\u00a0where we look at the home workspace of some of the people here at\u00a0The Verge<\/em>. (For one thing, it\u2019s reassuring to know that most of us share the same clutter syndrome, and that\u2019s after<\/em> cleaning the space up for the photos!) <\/p>\n<\/div>\n We checked to see if any of the interesting stuff that we found in our staff\u2019s home offices \u2014 office chairs, string lights, drawing tablets, etc. \u2014 was on sale during this fall\u2019s Amazon Prime Day sales, and we came up with these.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I just had to look up the name on Amazon: it\u2019s the \u201cHON Office Chair Black | Ignition 2.0 | Ergonomic | Adjustable Tilt, Swivel Wheels, Comfortable for Long Hours<\/a>,\u201d which should tell you basically everything you need to know about how good and fancy it is. I bought it in 2021 for $332, after a huge amount of research because I just couldn\u2019t splash out on a properly high-end desk chair. I\u2019ve had back problems forever, and this one has actually served me quite well \u2014 it\u2019s starting to tatter a bit, and one of the arms just split open a few weeks ago, but I sit in this thing for too many hours a week, and I\u2019m living to tell the tale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I once read a study that green light can help reduce migraines<\/a>, and while I wasn\u2019t aware of that at the time of decorating, it\u2019s certainly correlated with my own experience as a chronic sufferer. I have a dimly lit space to hide in when needed, and with all the color-addressable lighting available these days \u2014 the ceiling lights being Twinkly\u2019s Strings<\/a> \u2014 I can switch it up if I want a brighter environment. [Editor\u2019s note: to see what she\u2019s describing, check out the top photo in this article.]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I have an Amazon Echo Dot smart speaker. We have several around the flat to control various smart home settings, but having one in my office also keeps me alerted to any deliveries. I even use it as a speaker output for my PC when I can\u2019t be bothered to wear headphones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
