1. Computer armoires are designed to be all-in-one home office workstations: They will often have space for your computer, printer, hanging file folders, office supplies, books, and knick-knacks.
2. Out of sight, out of mind armoires feature handy doors so you can attractively and quickly hide your clutter when company comes over or you need a mental break from work. When you're ready to tackle your tasks again, the doors will fold back and in some cases flush to the sides of the armoire so they won't interfere with your work space.
