Whether establishing an office from scratch or revamping your working environment, combine an office chair with an office desk, and there you have it, the fundamental makings of an office workspace. Or is there more to setting up or providing your workplace with a facelift? Is this really all it takes to ensure that you have an adequately equipped place in which to concentrate, apply your skills and talents, face business challenges, and spend your working hours?
Of these two essential workplace components, it’s undoubtedly the office desk that defines an office. Without a desk, it’s just not the same. A table may serve temporarily as a desk, although it’s not an ideal worktop solution. Nonetheless, there are significant similarities and differences between trendy, functional office desks and dining tables. Traditionally, both have four legs and a flat top, serving as a surface on which to work or from which to dine.
Their primary functions differ distinctly: office desks prioritise utility and ergonomics, often featuring drawers, compartments, and cable management, while dining tables emphasise social gatherings and meal sharing, usually lacking storage or specific workspace accommodations.
The design of a trestle desk doesn’t typically accommodate integrated storage space, meaning that a more traditional leg arrangement and worktop that’s designed to incorporate storage facilities is preferred for typical office desks. At Quantum Office Furniture, we offer quality workplace furnishings with which to revamp your premises to reflect the latest trends, while catering for storage too.
Even though separate and useful credenzas, bookshelves, and filing cabinets may also be included in the workspace, many customers still choose to opt for a desk that features integrated storage facilities.
Respective heights of desks and dining tables tend to vary in South Africa. The average height of a dining room or kitchen table is usually about 710 mm to 760 mm, while office desk heights are somewhat lower and considerably more important, because the desk’s ideal height is relative to the height of its corresponding office chair, as well as the height of the seated person.
This aspect affects the posture, comfort, well-being, productivity, and support experienced by the desk’s user. Because these elements are truly significant, our Quantum Office Furniture consultants have the essential experience and expertise to help customers create optimal desk/chair pairings.
