I think only you can know if that will work for you. I know it wouldn’t work for me, since I use 2 monitors and always have two pads of paper to one side. Is there a version of the table with a leaf, so it can be extended out?

I've been working at a 42 inch round for thirty years. : ) I love that I can shove the 21 inch mac monitor back, and have room in front for PAPER....and still a wireless keyboard. Paper? Try a 24 x 36 floor plan for a house. : ) Yeah, it fits So does the excellent Holtkotter desk lamp.

I have a shelved console and rolling file nearby. for the grunge of design.....

Work space is personal. Only you can decide what will be comfortable and also productive and cheerful. There's nothing wrong with a desk and return set up........in fresh clean white

I DON'T keep this much junk on mine : ) Give yourself handy stage alongside

Thanks so much! Here’s the table I like. It’s a little blingy, but I thought my room could use some sparkle! I have a laptop, so can’t shove it to the back... I wish I could try out a round table to see if it’s enough room! I’m working at the 30” end of my dining table now, so maybe it’d work! Thanks for sharing your insight!

Personal choice, but if you deal with a lot of paper, my opinion is that you want a horizontal situation (traditional desk shape). Monitor in the middle and papers on the sides.

It also depends on the shape of the room. What is the floor plan of the room? How will any wires be handled and hidden? What shape/size desk do you have now?

There are a lot of blingy desks that are not round.

I agree with @JAN MOYER workplace is personal. I've also been working at a round table for years. Another thing to consider is if their are children in your house. A round table is less dangerous, since there are no sharp edges.

I would find the base a bit of a nuisance and before you decide, consider a rectangle if you like to have room on either side. May also open up more opportunity in regards to placement/functionality. At your price point or lower, there would be lots of great choices.

I think you need to figure out if you have enough room for how you like to arrange your papers on a table with your laptop. As if it was just your laptop I could see it working but if you need room to have paper next to you, that size in a round could be an issue. Also, note the base in this photo and it looks like it prevents a person from scooting up close to the table, if that would be a concern for you.

It depends on what space you have in your bedroom. If you just want to use this room only for a home office, then the roundtable is not a bad idea. But my concern is that while you are using that round table for the office and you also have some kind of paperwork, then the space of the round table is not enough. Simultaneous handling of documents and laptops is not easy. So it depends on the way you use it.

I am in the same position. I can not decide if I should get a round or rectangle desk. I want a glamourous "cloffice." I am looking at these two desks. I have attached pictures of the space. I have a bookshelf that is a weathered greenish color and white bookcase with my bags. The TV is my security system, but is a Samsung the frame so it also is "art." I can't figure out if a round table wit h2 chairs under the lighting fixture is functional/ office looking. I was thinking of making an accent wall where the window is. The other furniture is just in there for storage. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you

^^^^ After seeing the case with the purses, I don't feel bad about buying a new purse even though I don't have anywhere to go. Thanks.

Thank you for the comment but was hoping for design advice

I agree that you should cut out a round piece of cardboard or plywood and give this idea a try before committing to anything. I use a drop leaf table with rounded leaves to work on in my kitchen with my laptop and iPad. It becomes difficult when I need to lay out more than one or two items, especially when I need to transcribe something and need paperwork close by. I like the aesthetic of your blingy table, though. Good luck!

I'm not sure if a round table would work for you, but I've seen people use them as desks before. It would depend on how much paper you have and how you like to arrange your workspace. If you're worried about it, you could always try it out for a week or two and see how it goes. You can always return it or find another desk if it doesn't work out. You can easily find some interesting options at guys from Eureka Ergonomics (https://eurekaergonomic.com/glass-desks/). The prices are high, but I think their products deserve every penny. Let me know what you'd decide! Cheers!
