Create a practical office

Desks are the heart of any office, and double-pedestal desks provide a large work surface with room for paperwork, a computer, organizational accessories, and personal items. They also offer plenty of enclosed storage. Choose one with two pedestals to maximize available drawer space. Compact, single-pedestal desks are excellent options for smaller offices and they come in flexible left and right-handed designs. They have space beneath them for rolling pedestal files or a computer tower. Add a return to one of these products and turn an unused corner into a practical work area. Most desks accommodate hutches that provide added space for binders, books, or files.

Organize papers and more with pedestal desks

These furniture pieces have plenty of drawer space for small items and office supplies, and many models also hold hanging files. Full-extension, ball-bearing slides and full-width pulls provide quick access to drawer contents. Most office workers use computers every day, and some desktops have waterfall edges that enhance user comfort while typing. Many desks also include features that reduce cable clutter.

• Grommets make it simple to connect computer systems and accessories
• Wire management shelves keep computer cables off the desktop and the floor
• Integrated USB ports provide charging connections for phones and tablets
• Cable knockouts in side panels offer additional wiring convenience

Besides providing storage and organizational options, many executive pedestal desks have locking drawers that secure business documents and personal items when users are out of the office.

Furniture designs for any office

Metal, laminate, and wood pedestal desks come in finishes that match almost any office decor. Laminate desktops feature colors that match existing office furniture and stand up to daily wear and tear. Models with metal bases and cabinets support heavy loads and have durable powder-coated surfaces that resist scratches and stains. Use white pedestal desks to brighten home offices or choose the luxurious look of wood for executive office spaces. A mix of pedestal-style desks and standing desks in the office gives employees a choice of work environments. Most office desks meet ANSI/BIFMA® standards for commercial furniture, and many models are GREENGUARD certified.
