8 Herman Miller Accessories Perfect For Your Home Office

Herman Miller is a premium furniture brand that is known for its ergonomic and trendy chairs. However, the company's reach extends far beyond seating, as it also offers a wide range of accessories that will help make your home office more convenient, comfortable, or stylish. In fact, some of its products are all of those things at the same time.

In this article, we've selected eight Herman Miller accessories that are perfect for your home office. Among the standouts we highlight below are an extremely sleek monitor arm, a gaming desk that can also boost your productivity, and a portable lamp that you'll be able to move to any corner of your workspace.

While the top-notch quality of Herman Miller products is well known, we still gathered insights from professional reviewers to answer the question of why these accessories are worth buying. It's no secret that these products are expensive, so we wanted to make sure you'll be getting your money's worth when you decide to go ahead and make an investment in one of them.

The Jarvis Single Monitor Arm, made by Fully and available on the Herman Miller website for $195 (or for $325 with a laptop tray attachment), is the top pick of Tom's Guide among its selections for the best monitor arms. If your desk has a grommet hole, the gadget comes with components to mount it through that, but it also comes with a clamp to attach to the edge of the table. This monitor arm can hold screens of up to 32 inches with a weight of up to 19 pounds, while the laptop tray can support up to 17 pounds.

Setting up this monitor arm only takes around 20 minutes, according to Tom's Guide, and once you've finished, you'll understand why it's more expensive than most of the other options that are available. It takes little effort to change the monitor's height, move it closer or farther, or pivot it left or right, so you'll be able to easily place it in the position that's most comfortable for you. It also comes with a cable management system that hides the cords for a clean look on your desk.

The Flo Monitor Support is another option for your computer screen from Herman Miller, priced at $305. It only attaches to your desk via a surface clamp, but it also promises that you'll be able to put your screen in the exact place where you want it. It can support monitors weighing up to 20 pounds, and it also has a cable management system to keep cords tucked away. This device also has a more natural look to it compared to other monitor arms with their industrial designs, partly because it's made with powder-coated aluminum.

For PCWorld, the Flo Monitor Support is the best premium single-monitor arm. While other options offer similar features at a more affordable price, adjustments are a breeze with this model. PCWorld said that it will only take "a mere nudge" to move your monitor, so if your workflow requires you to change your screen's position often, this nifty accessory could be money well spent.

If you're thinking about switching to a standing desk for benefits such as increasing thought power and improving posture, you may want to consider Herman Miller's Nevi Sit to Stand Table. It starts at $1,095 at a size of 23 inches by 46 inches and with the standard height range of 28.5 inches to 47.25 inches. You can also opt for a larger surface of 29 inches by 58 inches for $1,315, an extended height range of 22.5 inches to 48.5 inches for $1,150, or a version with both upgrades for $1,365. 

Workspace Group said in its three-month review of this sit-to-stand table that its relatively high price is justified by its quality. The table's minimalist design makes it a seamless addition to any home office, and Herman Miller's seven-year warranty for the mechanical and electrical components adds to its value. Workspace Group also highlighted that the table changes height smoothly even though it only has a single-motor system. The desk also remains stable even at the highest setting, and it effectively hides its power module and cables underneath the surface to keep your home office looking tidy.

The Jarvis Bamboo Standing Desk is another option from Herman Miller if you want an adjustable desk. Made by Fully, it starts at $1,245 for the basic model with a rectangular shape at the smallest size of 27 inches by 48 inches, standard grommets, a two-stage height range from 30 inches to 49.5 inches, an up/down handset, and no cable management system. You'll be able to choose various upgrades for the standing desk, with the most premium version featuring a contoured shape at the largest size of 30 inches by 72 inches, powered grommets, a three-stage height range from 25.75 inches to 51.25 inches, a programmable handset, and a cable management system for $1,775.

This standing desk is "a great example of form meeting function," as described by Laptop Mag. The review said that the bamboo finish is "simply beautiful," with a coating that makes it smooth and easy to clean. It also has a sturdy metal frame that supports a maximum weight of 350 pounds. Laptop Mag said that if you choose to get the programmable handset, you'll be able to preset specific heights for standing and sitting that you can access with the press of a button, and it will only take a few seconds to move up or down. Despite a motor in each leg, this Jarvis device is quiet, with a noise level of 50 decibels — just as loud as a quiet conversation.

Herman Miller's Coyl Gaming Desk was designed for gamers, but it could be the perfect addition to your home office. Its price starts at $1,095, but you can get it with its cable trough for $1,475, or the trough with its modular shroud for $1,635. While the upgrades are optional, Tom's Guide said that you'll want to spend extra for them because they provide additional organization and customization. The cable trough spans the whole width of the desk, which measures 60 inches by 28.5 inches, so it provides enough room for its surge protector and other power bricks that you'll need for your computer setup, as well as for other gadgets if you have some leftover space, said Tom's Guide. The modular shroud, meanwhile, can hold the Coyl gaming accessories that you can buy from Herman Miller, including display shelves for $31, phone mounts and controller mounts for $38, and planters for $44.

Unlike other adjustable desks that use a control panel with up/down buttons, the Coyl Gaming Desk has a rotary dial with a screen. You rotate it to your preferred height between 22.5 inches and 48.5 inches, and the desk will move until it reaches your chosen setting. The desk also has a red coiled cable spinning down one side, which is the power cable for the surge protector, and it will give your home office a pop of color.

Herman Miller's Flute Personal Light was tagged by The New York Times' Wirecutter as one of the best desk lamps on the market. The slim and angled design means it won't take up too much space on your desk, and, despite a rated output of just 226 lumens, Wirecutter says it's still excellent for your home office because the light is concentrated. With a head that swivels 180 degrees from side to side, the light lets you point it towards any documents that you're reading or down at your keyboard. The nearly flat base and extended arm mean you can place it in the far corner of your desk, but it will still light up whatever you're working on in the middle of the table.

Herman Miller said that you can expect to wait 24 years before you need to change the bulb of this desk lamp, which partly explains its price of $320. The Flute Personal Light stands 14 inches high, weighs three pounds, and comes completely assembled. As Wirecutter noted, this light is also a minimalist gadget, as it only has a single button near the top, which you press to turn it on or off.

If you prefer a small light that you can place wherever you need it in your home office, you might appreciate the PC Portable Lamp, which is designed by Hay and available from Herman Miller for $115. It measures just below nine inches in height and 5.5 inches in diameter, and it weighs only 0.75 pounds. According to a review by New York Magazine's The Strategist, the gadget provides just enough light to read a book comfortably, so it should be enough to illuminate your desk on nights when the ceiling bulbs feel too bright. 

The PC Portable Lamp has a touch-controlled button at the bottom to turn it on and cycle through its three brightness levels. The placement may seem awkward at first, but The Strategist pointed out that this prevents you from accidentally pressing the button when you're moving the device around. This lamp is a rechargeable gadget that you can still use even while it's plugged into its USB cable since it doesn't get hot, according to the review.

For those who don't like being tethered to a single location in their home office, Herman Miller's Oripura Laptop Stand might be a very helpful accessory. There are no tools necessary to use it, as you just fold it out and place your laptop on top, and your mouse and keyboard in front. The $55 product also has open slots for simple cable management, and it won't cover the vents of your device, helping maintain proper airflow and preventing overheating. The stand can accommodate up to 16-inch laptops and support weights of up to 6.2 pounds.

Wired tagged the Oripura as the best portable laptop stand because of its stability. Other options may be hard to trust to securely hold your expensive gadgets due to flimsy materials or wobbly designs, but that's not the case with this one from Herman Miller, according to the review. Wired said that the best thing about the Oripura is that it folds completely flat once you're done, so you can easily store it in any of your desk drawers until the next time you need it.
