This Colorful IKEA WFH Must-Have Is So Practical, You’ll Want One for Every Room

It’s no secret that IKEA is a gold mine for small-space-friendly designs, from an armchair that converts into a bed to double-duty table lamps. You might not know, though, that they’ve also recently expanded their home office series, and if your living room doubles as your workspace, there’s one lesser-known (and colorful!) product that’s perfect for leveling up your work-from-couch experience. 

IKEA’s BJÖRKÅSEN laptop stand is versatile, compact, and may or may not boost your productivity. The metal table features an adjustable height and tabletop, which positions at any angle you need, including a completely flat 90 degrees to tuck away in a closet or corner. It’s also vibrant enough to leave out 24/7 as a side table alternative, especially in supertight living rooms. 

The BJÖRKÅSEN’s U-shaped base sidles up directly to a couch, armchair, or bed, allowing you to prop up a small laptop, iPad, or notebook nearby. And because IKEA thought of everything, there’s also a cupholder that clips to the legs for convenient coffee, tea, water, or Diet Coke access while you work or study. Honestly, this even makes the perfect TV dinner spot if you’re used to eating around your coffee table. 

I love the orange pop of color, but the BJÖRKÅSEN laptop stand comes in black and beige, too. Whichever you choose, it’s ultimately durable and easy to clean thanks to the steel tray construction. And for just $39.99, you can count on the ultimate work-from-couch (or bed, I won’t judge) game changer that doubles as functional decor — you may even want one for multiple rooms.
