Best standing desk accessories this summer

Summer brings longer days, increased energy, and the perfect opportunity to refresh your workspace. As the season heats up, our team has been testing and loving some standout products that are making their workdays more comfortable, productive, and even a little more fun. Here are six(ish) staff favorites that are earning rave reviews around the office this summer.

1. Envoke Ergonomic chair + Engage Stool combo

The perfect seating duo for standing desk users who want maximum flexibility during summer work sessions. The Envoke Ergonomic Chair combines premium ergonomic support with breathable design elements that make it ideal for warmer months, featuring mesh backing that keeps air flowing even during the hottest days. Pair it with the Engage Stool for those in-between moments when you want active seating without full commitment to sitting. Our team loves this combination because it covers every seating need — from focused deep work in the Envoke to quick perching on the Engage during calls or collaborative moments. The stool promotes natural movement throughout the day, helping combat the sluggishness that can come with hot weather, while the chair provides the ergonomic support needed for longer work sessions.

2. Elevate Footrest

Long work sessions can leave your legs feeling tired and uncomfortable, especially when you're switching between sitting and standing throughout the day. The Elevate Footrest gives you a place to prop up your feet and find relief — whether you're settled in for focused work or taking a quick break between tasks. The adjustable height means you can customize it to your exact comfort level, turning those heavy-leg moments into opportunities to reset and refocus.

3. 3-Drawer File Cabinet

When projects multiply and paperwork accumulates, the 3-Drawer File Cabinet keeps everything organized without cluttering your desk surface. The spacious bottom drawer handles both letter and legal files with a movable hanging bar, while the top two drawers store personal items and important documents. Our team loves the soft-close feature that prevents jarring slams during calls or focused work. Single-lock security protects all three drawers, and smooth-rolling casters let you reposition as workspace needs shift. It's the kind of practical storage that quietly handles the behind-the-scenes organization so you can focus on what matters.

Whether it's paperwork, personal items, or those odds and ends that somehow accumulate throughout busy workdays, everything has a designated home. Clean surface, clear mind, better focus.

5. Desktop Air Purifier

Summer brings open windows, fresh breezes, and, unfortunately, pollen, dust, and the constant tug-of-war between outdoor air and indoor comfort. The Desktop Air Purifier helps you create a cleaner, more breathable workspace by filtering out allergens so you can stay focused and comfortable throughout the season. It's a staff favorite on high pollen days, when closing the windows might help with symptoms but takes away that open-air feeling. With this purifier, you get the best of both worlds — cleaner air and a bright, energizing summer atmosphere. Read more about the benefits of the Desktop Air Purifier.

6. Under Desk Hammock

Perfect for mid-day resets or after-hours lounging, it brings a sense of ease and playfulness to your workspace — a gentle reminder that even busy days deserve a little hammock time.
