Gone are the days when office desks were simple. They are now very elaborate, made from a variety of materials, and come in all shapes, sizes, materials, and configurations. You will find some that are modular and others are pre-wired, while there are still some that are more traditional. Therefore, when you are shopping for office desks, it is a good idea to first determine what you are looking for.
Size and configuration
Believe it or not, not everyone likes the feeling of being trapped behind an L or U-shaped desk, nor is it appropriate for all working conditions. These can be very nice and certainly allow the owner a lot of space for all their equipment and files. However, they take up a lot of space. Unless you have a fairly large office or are working in an open floor plan, these types of desks can be a bit too much.
On the other hand, you can find much smaller office desks that have a sideboard on top for filing, and cabinets underneath that will serve the same purpose without taking up as much space.
Technology
One of the most important characteristics of modern office desks is how well they work with technology. About twenty years ago, new desks were made for desktop computer users, but you will find that more and more of them are now designed for people who work with laptops. This means there is no sliding keyboard drawer and there is no room for the CPU underneath.
However, you will still want your desktop to be able to connect efficiently. Usually this means that there are cut-out sections inside the desk so you can thread various cables and power cords. If you are going to have a phone, lamp, or computer on your desk, then it is important to choose from office desks that have this functionality.
Modularity
Modular offices became very popular in the 1970s when there were many open floor plans in office buildings. Over the years, they have gone out of style because everyone wanted to have their own “real” office. But in times as difficult as now, sometimes modular is better. This type of office allows you to change configurations at any time, move parts easily, and make an office from parts and pieces. If you look at office desks that are part of a modular system, you could end up saving money in the long run.
Style and materials
Depending on the type of office you have, the look, style, and materials of the office desks you are looking at can matter. Especially if you are buying a desk for an executive (or yourself!), Then you will want the cutest one possible. You can find desks in a variety of materials, from cherry and mahogany to oak and walnut, all of which create a very different look, but remember that functionality is always more important than appearance when it comes to shopping for office desks.
