This $40 IKEA side table is probably the best way to take a meeting on the couch while working from home

a living room with side and coffee tables

Working from home is now pretty commonplace. Those of us who do it regularly like to pretend that we're sat in the home office, toiling away at our desk 9 'til 5 but in reality, some of the best work-from-home days are done - at least in part - from the comfort of the sofa. Comfortable though it may be, however, this does usually mean sacrificing the practicality of a desk. 

You might move from your desk to the living room for a change of scenery or perhaps you don't have the space for a home office at all - whatever the case may be, working from the sofa is totally permissible. Heck, even WFB if you want to (that's work from bed, if you were wondering); if being more relaxed makes you most productive, even your boss can't argue with that. But let's be honest, a level surface of some kind would certainly make life easier.
