Boll & Branch's standing desks and ergonomic chairs deliver straightforward functionality without unnecessary frills, making them sensible picks for anyone upgrading a home office setup. The range focuses on adjustable height desks and supportive seating, with prices ranging from £415 to £749, and meaningful discounts available on open-box items.
Why Boll & Branch?
Boll & Branch specialises in height-adjustable standing desks and ergonomic office furniture designed for home and professional environments. Their Duo Standing Desk range features motorised height adjustment, dual-motor stability, and finishes in woodgrain and walnut veneers paired with sage, white, and charcoal leg colours. The Ergonomic Chair Pro is built around lumbar support and comes in leather and vegan leather options. Rather than competing on design novelty, Boll & Branch emphasises practical adjustability and material durability — their desks support up to a standard weight load, and chairs offer 12+ hours daily use comfort.
Top Picks
Duo Standing Desk — Woodgrain/Sage 36×24 Inches — £549
Best for small bedrooms and compact home offices. The 36-inch width (0.91m) fits snugly against walls without dominating the room, and the 24-inch depth (0.61m) leaves floor space for movement. The sage green legs add visual warmth to minimalist décor while the woodgrain top feels more premium than laminate.
Duo Standing Desk — Woodgrain/White 58×27 Inches — £749
Best for dual-monitor setups and shared desks. The 58-inch width (1.47m) accommodates two screens side-by-side with room for keyboard, mouse, and documents. The 27-inch depth (0.69m) gives genuine legroom, and motorised height adjustment means both sitting and standing posture are fully supported.
Open Box — Duo Standing Desk — Woodgrain/White 58×27 Inches — £415
Best value for larger workspaces. This is a 45% saving on the full-price equivalent (£749), and open-box items are cosmetically perfect but unboxed or slightly returned stock. If you don't mind the paperwork, this size at £415 is exceptional value.
Ergonomic Chair Pro — Black Leather — £649
Best for long working days and premium comfort. Genuine leather resists wear and cleaning is straightforward with a damp cloth. The Pro model features adjustable lumbar support and seat height, making it suitable for 8-12 hour shifts without back strain.
Open Box — Ergonomic Chair Pro — Canyon Vegan Leather — £412
Best budget ergonomic option. Saves £237 compared to black leather, and vegan leather is animal-free, durable, and easier to maintain. Open-box pricing brings premium ergonomics to under £420.

What to Look For
- Desk size and your monitor setup: The 36×24" desk suits single-monitor work; the 58×27" handles two screens comfortably. Measure your monitor width before ordering — two 24-inch monitors need at least 55 inches of desk width.
- Height range and adjustability: Boll & Branch desks feature motorised dual-motor systems, which are more stable than single-motor designs when fully loaded. Check that your desk's minimum and maximum heights match your seated elbow height (typically 28–48 inches for most users).
- Leather type for chairs: Black leather ages well and hides wear; vegan leather is cruelty-free but may show dust more visibly. Both require occasional cleaning with a soft cloth.
- Open-box discounts: These are genuine savings (up to 45% off) on unboxed or returned items in perfect condition. They carry the same warranty as new stock and are ideal if you prioritise value over unboxed presentation.
The Bottom Line
The Duo Standing Desk in 58×27" Woodgrain/White at £749 is Boll & Branch's strongest all-rounder for most home offices, offering enough space for dual monitors and robust motorised adjustment. Pair it with the Ergonomic Chair Pro in Black Leather at £649 for a complete, professional setup totalling £1,398. If budget is tight, the open-box 58×27" desk at £415 combined with the Canyon Vegan Chair at £412 delivers equivalent functionality for £827 — a £571 saving that justifies minor cosmetic wear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Boll & Branch good value for money?
Yes, particularly on open-box items. A new 58×27" standing desk at £749 is competitively priced against other motorised options, but the same desk as open-box stock at £415 offers exceptional value if you accept unboxed condition. Ergonomic chairs at £649 (leather) are mid-market pricing; savings of up to £237 on vegan leather versions make them accessible.
Can I fit a Boll & Branch desk in a small bedroom?
Yes, if you choose the 36×24" model. This is genuinely compact at 0.91m wide and 0.61m deep, making it suitable for bedrooms under 12 square metres. The 58×27" models are better suited to dedicated office spaces or large living rooms.
Do Boll & Branch chairs come with a warranty?
Yes, the Ergonomic Chair Pro includes a standard manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, typically 5 years. Open-box items carry the same warranty as new stock, though terms should be confirmed at purchase.
What's the difference between open-box and new Boll & Branch products?
Open-box items are returned or unboxed stock in perfect working condition, often carrying cosmetic wear from handling or packaging. They're priced 30–45% lower than new equivalents and come with full warranties. New items arrive sealed and unboxed, with full presentation packaging.
