The Many Different Purposes of Office Desks How we can add value to your office space
The Different Purposes of Office Desks
As significant suppliers of virtually everything you need to furnish and finish a modern workplace and home office, we at Quantum Office Furniture include a great range of office desks in our creative collection of modern, innovative products.
Office Desks: Synonymous with the Workplace
While desks are synonymous with the office, they can also have a variety of other purposes, perhaps as an interim, temporary solution for a brief period only. Here are possible different purposes of the all-important piece of furniture.
Because an office desk has a relatively large surface and it’s usually level, it’s perfect for housing a compact photocopy machine, scanner, desktop computer, and similar types of office equipment
Due to most office desks’ considerable worktop space, it’s an ideal surface upon which to collate documents and other paperwork
Can be used in place of a podium
An alternative to a reception counter
Display a flower arrangement or pot plants
You can even use an office desk for reasons unrelated to work, such as:
Used in place of a table in the office or at home
Pushed up against a dinner table to extend the latter, so that more serving dishes may be accommodated on the joined or combined tabletops. Additionally, more diners may be seated at the table
Put to use as a server table
Provide more worktop space in the kitchen
Do double duty as the bar at a special occasion or event
Changing table to dress a baby and change its nappies
You can even get on top of the desk to reach and paint the ceiling or change an LED globe when a ladder isn’t available.
Whilst not all these possible different purposes for which the humble furniture piece can be put to use will take your fancy, it’s nevertheless interesting to note how adaptable this piece may be.
Comprehensive Cutting-Edge Product Categories
In addition to desks, we also offer some other product categories:
Accessories – anything from pin boards, bins, and floor protectors to brightly coloured hat and coat stands, as well as power docks and premier planters
Canteen/restaurant – variety of styles, shapes, and colours to welcome diners
Chairs – every person in the workplace needs a seat, ideally an adjustable, ergonomically designed chair that supports and aligns the posture and the body correctly
Coffee tables – modern designs to perfect waiting and lounge areas
Desking – the quintessential workplace component that typifies the office. Each staff member who is engaged in an administrative capacity requires desk space which is commensurate with their duties
Filing and storage – there is never too much storage space to keep a work environment neat, tidy, and attractive. Filing solutions enable personnel to do so
Reception couches – ensure that visitors and guests feel comfortable and welcome while they wait to be seen by the person with whom they have an appointment
Reception counters – provide receptionists with a surface on which to work, whilst ensuring that visitors know where or with whom to announce and introduce themselves
School furniture – desks, chairs, tables, and bookshelves that add appeal and an element of fun to the classroom
Screens – desk- or floor-based, to provide some privacy, which allows each person to focus on individual tasks at hand
Steel – lockers, pigeonhole and other cabinets, tea trolleys, shelving units, and two types of canteen tables
Training – robust table configurations, some of which fold up and/or stack, standard steel chairs, plus podiums for presenters and speakers
Wall units/servers – we offer a combined total of 28 wall units and servers. The wall units are tall, while the servers are at the perfect height from which to present snacks, coffee and tea, as well as other drinks
In our Décor and Leisure section, we also feature:
Blinds – light control is a must in all workplaces where most personnel focus on a computer screen for hours on end each and every workday. Blinds are adjustable and don’t soil as easily as curtains, so that the office retains a neat and tidy appearance
Wall art – bare walls make the workplace appear impersonal, cold, clinical, and unwelcoming, but the addition of wall art has the reverse effect
If your company is situated in the Johannesburg area, we can currently deliver and install your new workplace setup free of charge, so it’s unlikely that your office desk will be required to multi-task. Contact us to see what our furniture solutions can do for your workspace.
