For Australian rental home offices, size the desk to wall length and chair roll-back first — common Darrah Opens widths sit around 100–140 cm with about 60 cm depth on many Artiss study and standing desks. Measure the room (including skirtings and door arcs), then match live centimetres on the product page. Do not invent a desk SKU that is not listed.
Catalogue note: workstation desks currently verified on Darrah Opens for this guide are Artiss fixed and standing models. Carla Home listings on the store include organisers (for example under-sink storage) that can tidy a rental workstation zone, but desk dimensions below come from live Artiss pages — not invented Carla Home desk URLs.

Measure the rental before you buy
- Wall length between wardrobe and door swing
- Depth — leave chair roll-back (often another 80–100 cm clear behind the desk)
- Power — one double GPO is common; plan a strip or desk with recessed outlets
- Windows and A/C — avoid blocking returns or curtain tracks
- Floor type — use felt pads on timber; check landlord rules on wall anchors
Tape the rectangle on the floor. If the tape looks cramped, step down a width class.
Verified Artiss desk specs (examples)
100 cm electric standing desk (white)
Lists tabletop about 1000 × 600 × 20 mm, height range 735–1180 mm, 70 kg max load, quiet operation under 45 dB, digital panel with memory presets, side hooks. Oak colour twin also appears in the Artiss collection.
120 cm study desk with storage
The bookshelf/drawer white 120 cm listing shows overall about 120 × 60 × 133.5 cm, 60 kg desktop capacity, drawer/cabinet 10 kg, shelves 5 kg, two packages. Useful when the rental has no built-in shelving.
140 cm standing desk (oak)
Lists tabletop about 1400 × 600 × 16 mm, height 735–1180 mm, 70 kg load on the specifications block, memory presets, desk hooks. Choose when dual monitors need lateral space.
Compact / overbed options
For studio beds that double as offices, compare the Artiss mobile laptop overbed desk or small foldable computer desk — open each page for current dimensions rather than assuming 120 cm study-desk numbers.
Rental-friendly layout habits
- Prefer freestanding desks over permanent wall mounts unless the lease allows
- Keep cable runs removable (no stapling into skirtings)
- Use a sideboard elsewhere for printers if the desk depth is only ~60 cm
- Pair with under-desk CPU holders only if clamps fit without damaging the top — check Tooleroo under-desk CPU holder
Size vs storage trade-off
A plain 120 × 60 cm top leaves more floor for a filing crate. A 120 cm desk with hutch storage climbs to ~133.5 cm high on the listing above — confirm wardrobe door clearance in bedrooms. Standing desks trade storage drawers for height range; add a small shelf or buffet if paperwork piles up.
Who this rental desk-size guide is for
Apartment WFH setups, share-house bedrooms, and anyone who cannot drill a wall-full of shelving. Width and chair roll-back matter more than owning the widest RGB top in the catalogue.
Landlord-friendly habits
Prefer freestanding desks, felt pads on hard floors, and cable covers that do not tape paint. If you add a standing desk, check the height range against window sills and low AC units so the top does not collide when raised.
Storage vs footprint
Bookshelf-drawer desks trade floor length for vertical storage; L-shapes trade a corner for wing space. Measure both the wall run and the chair’s pushed-back depth before you buy.
AU buyer reminder
Before you click buy, re-open the live product page and confirm overall centimetres, load ratings, voltage notes and what is actually in the box for the colourway in your cart. Similar titles in the same collection can ship different pack lists.
FAQ
What desk width suits most Aussie rental bedrooms?
100–120 cm covers many nooks; move to 140 cm only if the wall and chair path are genuinely clear.
How deep should the desk be?
Many Artiss study and standing tops list about 60 cm depth. Measure monitor stands and keyboard trays against that figure.
Are Carla Home desks listed on Darrah Opens?
At drafting time, verified home-office desk SKUs used here are Artiss. Use collection search for current Carla Home items (organisers and related) and do not invent desk URLs.
Fixed desk or standing desk for a rental?
If you sit most of the day and move house often, a lighter fixed 120 cm desk is simpler. If posture variety matters, choose a standing model with a listed height range and memory presets — see the next guide on sit/stand habits.
Where do I shop?
What depth are many Artiss study desks?
About 60 cm depth appears on several study and gaming desk listings — still measure your room.
Is a 100 cm standing desk enough for dual monitors?
It can work for compact setups; wider tops such as 140 cm standing desks give more lateral room — match to monitor arms and load limits.
Can I use an overbed laptop table as a full desk?
Only for light laptop use. It is not a substitute for a full-width study desk with chair clearance.
