Nine Home Office Upgrades Under $300

You don't need to rebuild a home office to fix it. Most complaints — sore neck, tired eyes, mid-afternoon slump — trace back to three or four fixable things.

Start with monitor height, then lighting, then a chair or desk that lets you change position during the day. A sit-stand desk is the single biggest change most people can make, and dual-motor frames have fallen well under the old premium price.

Cable management sounds cosmetic but it's the difference between a desk you want to sit at and one you avoid.
