1. What it actually is

The Saloon Desk is a full replacement for a desk and office chair. Laptop stand, cup holders, room for a 40-inch screen — the full monty.

So why does it help your back? Sitting back on a sofa or armchair with your feet up means you're looking up at a big screen across the room, instead of hunching down over a small one on a desk. Your shoulders drop. Your chest opens up. Your eyes aren't locked at arm's length for eight hours.

Getting in and out takes about three seconds longer than pushing an office chair away from a desk. The keyboard is held in place by magnets — supplied, of course — and the mouse sits on a magnetic side rail, so everything's exactly where you left it when you sit back down. There are even four cup holders, so you've no excuse not to stay hydrated.

2. Why it fits your space

Built for small living rooms, dorm rooms, and anywhere a full desk simply won't go. Setup takes seconds — bring it to the sofa, adjust, done. When you're finished it stows flat beside the furniture or in a cupboard. No tools, no fuss.

3. Why it beats the alternative

Forget expensive so-called ergonomic chairs, and forget wobbly lap trays that cook your legs. The Saloon Desk carries a full-size keyboard, a mouse, a laptop stand and a 40-inch screen — real stability and real accuracy, for a day's work or a night's gaming, wherever on the sofa you actually want to be.
