In Need of a New Office Desk? How we can add value to your office space

Are You in Need of a New Office Desk? We Have Just What You Need at Quantum Office Furniture

Are you in need of a new office desk? We all know what it feels like to have an office desk that just doesn’t make the grade. It’s like being in a long-term relationship that you just know isn’t going to work out! If you love your job and plan to stay in it, chances are that you’re going to have to make a daily and long-term commitment to your desk. And that ultimately means choosing the right type of desk from the start.

Unfortunately, it’s not often that you will get to choose your own desk when you start working for a business. In fact, even after many years of service, you might not be afforded that particular luxury, but as business owners are being scrutinised for their health impacts on staff members through working environments, we have seen many companies take the plunge and start investing in office furniture that promotes health, comfort and productivity.

Out with the old and in with the new! Let’s hope that means in with better comfort and support too. Not just any old desk will do and for this reason, it is absolutely essential to choose a desk according to its function and, of course, where it will be located. For instance, a reception desk will not be the same as a consultant’s desk or a manager’s desk.

At Quantum Office Furniture, we have seen business owners and managers struggle to make the right choices when it comes to office desks. With this in mind, we have put together a few tips to help you choose the right desks for your business. Let’s take a look…

• Identify how the desk will be used. Will it be used for paper work? Computer work? Assisting customers? This will affect the design and height of the desk and, of course, the type of storage or service space that it offers.

• Take your work-style and tools into account. Smaller desks can work for naturally neat work spaces where there won’t be much need for filing or paperwork. If you expect to be working with customer files, paperwork and materials, a larger workspace will be required. If you need to keep tools, accessories and similar at hand for the tasks performed on the desk, the desk will need to offer sufficient storage space options so that you can keep these items out of sight when helping clients or at the end of the day.

• Ergonomics and space are of the utmost importance. Your desk should offer sufficient clearance for legs and should be at the correct height, so that you can sit comfortably without having to reach up or crouch / hunch over. The office chair paired with each desk can assist with the correct ergonomic seating and setup too.

• Consider the desk surface choices. The market caters to a variety of options and while wood and steel are good choices, it is laminate and veneer that are the most popular. Thick laminate is durable to the daily stressors that a busy desk must endure and veneer is better suited to less busy work areas.

• Check the quality of construction. How well the desk is constructed will determine just how long it lasts and how much good use you will get out of it. You can look for tell-tale inferior quality construction on the how the drawers operate, the finishes on the edges of the desks and how the storage doors close and open.

At Quantum Office Furniture, we only stock the best quality veneer and laminate desks. If you are in need of a new office desk, you will certainly be spoiled for choice when browsing through our product catalogue.
