5 Tips To Pick The Perfect Executive Desk For You

The executive office desk is an essential piece of office furniture.

Executive Desks tend to be larger and more imposing than standard office desks. They are usually manufactured to a higher standard. In some cases, the tops will be thicker and have a different edging eg shark nose edging, which is very distinctive.

Tops may be manufactured from melamine or timber veneer. The frames and legs could be manufactured with polished alloy or chrome. Very often, some form of storage will be built in or can be easily added e.g. Drawers or a Sliding Door Credenza. Executive Desks can be fixed height or height adjustable, with electric push button controls now becoming the convenient norm.

1. HOW MUCH SPACE DO I HAVE?

There is a wide range of sizes available in our Executive Desk range, so you will need to know which one will fit best. Carefully measure your available space, remembering to factor in any skirting boards, power points or other obstacles like support columns.

Straight Executive Desks take up a lot less space than Executive Corner Workstations, but if you have a large office, a straight desk may feel a little lost in the space. In this case, you may prefer to select a corner workstation.

2. How Much Time Will I Spend at This Desk?

The next decision you will need to make is what type of Executive Desk you need. If you only spend a short time at your desk at any one time, then a static desk will suit your purposes. However, if you spend many hours continuously at your desk, you may want to consider a sit/stand desk.

Research has shown that sitting for long periods of time at your desk is bad for your health and well-being. The solution to this is to utilize a sit/stand desk. Currently, electric push button controls are the norm and allow you to quickly and easily switch between sitting and standing throughout your working day.

It’s usually a good idea to ask yourself questions about your storage needs before looking at the options available. Figure out how much storage is required so you can decide on which units to buy.

Storage such as drawers, storage cupboards, credenzas and shelving can help you create a neat and well-organised space. The old adage that ‘an organised space equals an organised mind’ was never truer than in an office space.
