The pandemic shows no sign of abating in the US, and thus, neither has remote working nor remote learning. And according to Business Insider, that's led to a boom in the 'office in a box' market, in which people install minuscule 'home' offices in the backyard. In a recent survey of just over 2000 American consumers, 54% of respondents said they would buy a tiny office. Among them, 62% said they'd purchase a backyard unit. 30%, reported that the ideal tiny office would fall between 200 to 299 square feet. In terms of pricing, 26% said they'd spend less than $8,000 on a backyard office unit, while 23% said they'd fork out between $10,000 to $19,999.
