Since more of us are working from home it was only a matter of time before the big retailers caught on to the demand for affordable office furniture. And some of the ranges on offer are, to be fair, pretty appalling quality. Not so with this Abacus collection from John Lewis though.
Although reasonably priced, the units are decent quality with a predominance of oak veneer panels and solid oak drawer fronts. Maybe not quite up to the spec you’d expect in a commercial office but not so far off – and for a lot less money too.
Whether you just want a bookcase or simple desk there are a few options to choose from. So no matter if your home office is a makeshift affair in the corner of the bedroom, or if you have an entire spare room to play with, you should be able to get exactly what you need.
