120 x 60cm at 75cm high is the most widely used desk specification in the world, and for good reason: it holds a computer, documents, stationery and daily work equipment while fitting into a spare room, a corner of a living room or a small office without dominating it. The 75cm working height is the international standard, so it pairs correctly with any ordinary office chair. This is the desk to buy when you want the job done properly without over-specifying — enough surface for real work, a footprint you can actually accommodate, and nothing you are paying for and not using. Available assembled or flat-packed in a box.

Buying guide
A 60cm depth is the minimum comfortable distance between your eyes and a monitor, which is why it is the standard — any shallower and you end up sitting too close for long sessions. Leave about a metre behind the desk for the chair. Set the chair so your forearms are level with the desktop and add a footrest if your feet do not reach the floor flat; that one adjustment resolves most desk discomfort. Route cables along the back edge with a clip or tie rather than letting them hang. Re-tighten fixings after a month of use.
How it compares
Against a 140cm desk, this fits smaller rooms and costs less, with correspondingly less spread-out space. Against a height-adjustable desk, it is simpler and sturdier but fixed. Against a dining table used as a desk, a proper 75cm desk is markedly better for your back over a full working week.
