Shopping for an office computer desk

Renovate homes and workplaces with classic or modern desks, available in a variety of shades and materials. The main thing to consider when looking for a new computer workstation is the size of the space. Measure both the room and the size of the desk to ensure it will fit. Maximize your space by pairing a big desk with a large room, and opt for corner desk designs in areas where space is a concern. A wall desk tucks out of the way and takes up less space within the room, making it ideal for spaces with narrow walls.

Executive desks have a professional appearance, and they typically feature wood or wood accents for a classic look that matches well with leather chairs. Streamlined metal desks deliver style and durability and stand up well in a variety of environments. They also look good when paired with metal AV carts.

Considering the options for a multimedia desk

Multimedia desks come in many different styles, including models that allow you to place multiple screens or a complex audio system on them. Standing desks focus on health and keep you mobile throughout the day, while height-adjustable tables let you lower or raise your work area to allow you to sit or stand. Corner desks maximize the use of space and keep necessities in a central location for easy access. They also provide a dual-workstation function, which makes it easy to complete varying projects.

A student workstation offers ample storage for notebooks, writing instruments, and other necessities for studying and maintaining grades. Laptop desks, on the other hand, make it easy to relax on a bed while watching TV. They also provide a comfortable place for taking notes or writing urgent work papers. A laptop cart also makes it possible to move from room to room as needed, and when coupled with a comfortable ergonomic chair, a portable desk can turn any space into a functional study area.

Choosing from popular brands of computer workstations

The type of desk you choose depends on the use and the age of the user. An office computer desk made from quality materials and with functional features helps tailor a work area to the need. Consider choosing from one of these popular brands:

• Safco®
• TechniMobile®
• Virco®
• BALT®
• Wood Designs™
• KFI®
• Bush®

Find a desk for every use, including gaming, office projects, or working on school assignments.

Versatile options of desk designs and materials

Look for wooden or metal desks to match the decor of your file cabinets, closets, and other office furniture. The cut-away desk design makes it easy to be closer to the computer monitor, which is convenient for gaming and browsing through volumes of data. Having a chair mat also helps in terms of an enjoyable gaming or working session as it helps with maneuverability and protects floor surfaces. Engineered wood provides durability and the ability to hold heavy computer hardware without bending. Minimalistic desk designs in a classical style are convenient for laptop use and for storing paperwork, personal documents, and sketches. Some desks in the selection feature locking casters for simple moving across the room without leaving any scratches on the floor.

Characteristics of multipurpose desks

Some large-sized office desks come with casters, making them ideal for classrooms and promotional events. Media towers are another example of a useful furniture piece for school purposes, including a cable management system and doors that are easy to open. Grommets on the top and sides make it easy to guide cords to a projector or laptop and keep them tidy.

Create a fully functional working environment by having your printer, computer, and hanging files in one unit. Bulkier desks with a solid surface offer plenty of storage space, especially models with additional drawers and keyboard trays. Search for light-color desks to match them with dry-erase boards in the classroom, or choose darker options like cherry wood. Rectangular desks are convenient for rooms of varying sizes, giving you a chance to place them in a corner or closer to the center of the room. High-end models with oval-top surfaces are a practical choice for reception areas and lobbies, presenting an elegant and sleek design to guests and employees.
