1. Computer desks and armoires are the foundation of an
efficient workplace. Here you'll find a wider variety of computer desks that
will suit your business mentality and meet your organizational needs. A
computer armoire is similar to a clothing armoire in that it typically has two
doors which close to hide the workspace when not in use. These are ideal for
office spaces that do double duty.
2. The key to a good computer desk is storage. Most desks offer a variety of
pull-out keyboard trays, tower shelves, and speaker stands that let you organize
your entire CPU without having to take up extra floor space.
3. A great feature included on many computer desks and armoires is cord
storage. Look for desks and armoires that have holes for cord threading as well
as those with cord organizers and even built-in power strips.
4. Your computer desk doesn't have to be boring. While traditional
wood desks look great in formal offices, a funky, light metal desk may be a
great option for the home office or for a small commercial space where a modern
aesthetic is a must.
5. Laptop
carts are lighter, more portable versions of computer desks. They have
casters and are designed to roll easily from workspace to workspace, eliminating
the need for a set area where the computer is stored.
6. L-
and U-shaped
computer desks wrap around the corners of rooms and typically offer tons of
storage. Keep your printer, files, CPU, monitor, and more organized in the same
unit with these types of desks.
7. Because they often have shelving underneath the monitor, computer armoires
don't always look like great workstations. It looks as though it might be
difficult to sit at the computer since there isn't always a desk space beneath.
But most computer armoires are designed with pull-out keyboard trays so that you
can sit comfortably.
8. If you have a small office, consider a computer desk with a glass
table top. The lightness of the glass will help keep the room from feeling
too crowded and will add a fresh, contemporary touch.
9. Roll top desks are standby
classics that are still beloved today. The roll top slides down easily to cover
the entire work area, eliminating clutter and keeping things organized when not
in use. They're a great choice for home as well as commercial offices.
10. Computer desks and armoires differ from basic writing desks in that they
are specifically designed for use with computers. They usually include specific
areas for monitors, keyboards, and computer towers. Make sure to measure your
computer components to ensure that the desk will be the correct size before you
purchase. Choose from a wide variety to make your office more
productive.
