With summer ending it’s back to work for most of us, and chances are you’re probably doing quite a bit of working from home. Space is always an issue when we need to create a home office that is actually practical, and there is always a compromise on either looks or functionality. More often you will find yourself with no drawers to store items in, or not enough worktop space to rest your elbows on comfortably.

It makes sense then that the best desks have drawers, and when it comes to choosing one for your home office, there aren't many drawbacks. The styles are slightly chunkier, but incorporating drawers into your desk ensures you've got what you need close at hand. 

Here's some of the best you can find right now.
