Baroness Maria Augusta von Trapp has them. So does Oprah.
And now, BELAY has them, too.
We’re talking about our favorite things – but there aren’t any ‘whiskers on kittens’ or ‘276 free Pontiac G6s’ to be found on our list.
Because with remote work now (finally) becoming so popular, our BELAY team wants to help you set up your home office to be efficient and enjoyable. And with 10 years of experience working from home, we know a thing or two about setting up a home office.
So we surveyed our 100+ corporate team members for their favorite, can't-live-without-’em office items for creating a home office sanctuary.
#1: Adjustable-Height Standing Desk
No need to worry about finding a trendy table surface and desk frame that are sold separately, hoping they fit together. This complete height-adjustable workstation was created to make your search for an electric sit to stand desk easier and more convenient. The large size provides space for multi-monitor setups and important work materials.

This monitor is brilliant from every angle no matter where you sit with colors that stay accurate and consistent across the wide viewing angle – whether as your primary or secondary monitor – to make split-screening a breeze.
What BELAY says: “I always need to have countless tabs open and since I'm always writing, it helps me see everything easily. I honestly don't think I could ever go back to a laptop screen or smaller monitor. #spoiled” Get it From Amazon!
#3: Erasable Pens
Unlimited do-overs allow you to write, erase, and rewrite repeatedly without damaging your documents, and the eraser tip won't wear down or leave crumbs behind.
