10 Costco Furniture Products You Can Outfit Your Whole Home Office In
Costco may not immediately spring to mind when thinking of home furnishings. An insanely large packet of paper towels you won't have room for? Absolutely. But office items? Not so much. However, Costco has a large and varied selection of furniture and furnishings perfect for any home office. If you are looking for a one-stop-shop to outfit your home office without looking too "matchy-matchy," Costco is the perfect solution. You will find everything you need from a large selection of reliable furniture brands to help your brand-new office look carefully curated over time. And better yet, you'll get a great deal. Costco doesn't mark-up its furniture (or any branded items) more than 15%, while typical furniture stores mark-up anywhere from 20% to 400%.
Below are the best Costco products to cover every home office need, from chairs to chair mats and desks to plants. They are either the most highly-rated options in the category, the most unique, or offer the best deal. Every single item below has at least four stars as well. Furnishing your office entirely from Costco will leave you tons of extra time to tackle other projects or add those finishing touches that personalize your space.
La-Z-Boy Office Chair
Your office chair is where you will spend most of your time, so it must be comfortable. The name La-Z-Boy is synonymous with comfort, and the Manager Office Chair is no exception. This office chair is endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), meaning it has chiropractic-related benefits. The chair features padded, flip-up arms, and height, recline, and tilt tension adjustments. Its 360-degree swivel casters mean you can easily zoom around your office without ever standing up. The chair costs $169.99 at Costco, so it won't break the bank.
Elyse Plush Velvet Office Chair
If you feel a home office should be functional and look good in the process, the Elyse Plush Velvet Office Chair from Lillian August is for you. This lovely chair has a gold-plated base and is offered in pink (pictured), light blue, and beige for $229.99. The Elyse chair is a great option for a small home office and looks less office-y if your workspace is in your living room or bedroom. However, while this chair has adjustable height and tilt features, some comments complained about it being uncomfortable and not very supportive.
Anji Mountain Rug'd Chair Mat
A chair mat is a vital, yet often overlooked item in a home office. Whether your floors are hardwood, vinyl, laminate, or tile, a chair mat will protect the surface from scuffs and scratches caused by chair wheels. It even works to protect carpet from permanent wheel divots and allows you to roll quickly from one part of your desk to another without hindrance. Most mats are transparent plastic, but this highly-rated Anji Mountain Rug'd Chair Mat ($99.99) comes in five decorative patterns. It looks like a rug but performs like a chair mat.
North Haven Executive Desk
Costco offers a large selection of office desks to fit all styles and budgets. This North Haven Executive Desk from Springhill Designs offers some serious gravitas, but will currently put you out around $1,499. It comes loaded with features, such as a drop down keyboard drawer with AC outlets, a locking file drawer, and additional drawers with adjustable dividers. If you love the look of the aged ivory finish, you can purchase the desk in a matching set that comes with a two-piece bookcase and file cabinet.
Harrison Corner Desk
If you have a smaller office space and an even smaller budget, check out the Harrison Corner Desk from Bayside Furnishings. This highly-rated L-shaped desk takes up little space in a room and currently costs only $299. It comes with a lift-top work surface and a power center with two outlets and three USB ports. This piece offers a lot of desktop space and is ergonomically designed so everything is in easy reach. However, it has limited storage with only one drawer. The desk is available in white, blue, and black (pictured).
Tresanti Geller Adjustable Height Desk
If you need a printer stand or extra desk space for hard drives, the Tresanti Geller Adjustable Height Desk ($249.99) is a great solution. It has a cable management system with USB charging ports and adjusts to match your current desk or chair height. It can also work as your main office desk in tight spaces and could be moved if you need to quickly change your office back into a guest bedroom for visiting relatives that gave you little notice.
Tuscan Bookcase
A bookcase is almost always a necessity in a home office. You can store books about your profession (to look like you are still passionate about your job), display collections, or use it as storage for office supplies. The Tuscan Bookcase Wall and Ladder (currently $1,999.99) by Martin Furniture comes with two bookcases in white, black (shown), or gray and a library ladder, adding a bit of grandeur that's sure to impress. If you don't have room for the ladder in your home office, you can use it as decorative quilt/blanket storage elsewhere in the home.
Kellen Ladder Bookcase
If your office is too small for a bookcase wall, try this lightweight, budget-friendly Kellen Ladder Bookcase ($169.99) from Bayside Furnishings. Not to be confused with the library ladder bookcase above, a ladder bookcase (or ladder shelf), is so called because it resembles a ladder. Some are even made to lean against the wall, but fortunately, this Costco version is sturdy and can stand on its own feet. Its open sides aren't the best for holding books, but it is perfect for storage baskets filled with office supplies.
Mesa Storage Baskets
Every home office is in need of storage. Keep the steel filing cabinet or large plastic storage containers in the closet and use decorative storage for the things you need close-at-hand. These Mesa Storage Baskets from Vanderbilt Home Collections are currently only $23.99 for a set of four and would look great on a bookcase, desktop, or even sitting on the floor. They have a beautiful woven look but are actually soft underneath, so they won't scratch wooden surfaces.
Bonsai Live Indoor Plant
Indoor plants can help reduce stress, improve focus, and have been found to increase productivity and job satisfaction. In other words, they are the perfect addition to any home office. The Bonsai Live Indoor Plant from Arcadia Garden Products ($34.99) is low maintenance and will thrive in a small space. It also comes in a cute decorative pot. This plant has many five-star reviews, but keep in mind that there are complaints about the care of the plant during shipping, and it's only available online.
