Office Desks

Are you shopping for an office desk, but have no idea which one to buy? Office desks are one of the most important pieces of furniture you can add to your office. They are the focal point that needs to be ergonomically designed for comfort, and robustness, and offer good practicality too. Continue reading to learn how to select an office desk that checks all of your boxes and answers the most frequently asked questions by our buyers. You will also discover why you should purchase your next office desk from us.

How to Choose an Office Desk?

Before you are able to choose the right desk you need to figure out how it will be used. For example, desks for home use with limited space should be smaller than office desks where there is a lot of room to work with.
Once you have a visual image of where your desk will be stored, what will be placed on top, and who will use it, then you are on the right path to choosing the right one.

1. Type of Desks

• The first decision to make is the type of desk that you pick, and here are the most common ones:
  Corner Office Desk: as the name suggests, corner office desks are suited for corners. They have a 90-degree angle that slots in perfectly into the desired space. However, you can use office corner desks anywhere in the office that makes the most sense.
• Built-in Desks: these are attached to walls and other furniture, which allows them to be integrated into the office. It is a space-saving measure that might be the best choice if you have limited room.
• Multiple Workstations: are you buying for a team of employees to work in a tight-knit group? Then consider desks with multiple workspaces. These desks also save space and help groups of employees work together based on their roles.

2. Price

Consider your budget, and how to get the most bang for your buck. You can get great deals when you shop around. However, don’t always go with the cheapest office desks on the market since you may have to replace them more frequently than you would like. Solid wood desks are an option that also provides good durability and longevity – for long-term use.
Furthermore, consider buying in bulk if you need to fill large office space. We offer discounts for bulk orders, so the more you buy the more you save per unit. Get in touch with us to find out how much you can save on the office desks of interest. We love making deals!

3. Desk surface

The surface contributes to the durability and feel of the desk while working. Here are 3 of the most common desk surfaces:

• Timber: Timber-based desks and tables, or ‘timber veneer’ can be very attractive. However, they can also be prone to damage if you opt for one at the low end of the market. Solid wood tables are the best choice if you want long-term durability, but do require maintenance from time to time.
•  Metal: These tables don’t always provide a professional look that’s suitable for executive offices. However, they are great in high-traffic areas for long-term use. The excellent durability means metal office desks are perfect if you need to place heavy items on them.
•  Melamine: This is a plastic laminate finish with a particle board or MDF substrate. It’s also an affordable choice that offers the best durability and a good choice of colors and finishes. Opt for high-pressure laminates if you want long-lasting durability.

4. Ergonomics

The average office workers generally sit for hours at a desk in the same position with little moving around. Therefore, desks must be ergonomically designed to avoid injury. Here are note-worthy factors to consider:

• Space: around 1 meter of space is required for your feet. Also, at least 1 meter around the table should be provided for the office worker to sit down.
• Desk height: around 720mm to 750mm is more than enough for the average office worker in terms of desk height. The leg clearance means employees can sit comfortably without having to bend their legs awkwardly.
• Computer use: will the table be used for working on a keyboard? Then the office table height must be chosen accordingly for the person. Too high or too low and muscle pain or fatigue will set in sooner.
• Space: choose a desk that can easily store all required items and leave room for unforeseen storage requirements.
