When you are redesigning the layout of your office, or looking to upgrade your current furniture, you maybewondering how to maximise the space.

In fact we often hear from our customers, that choosing to go with corner desks had made a hugedifference.

Corner desks offer a lot more than just an ergonomic solution. For a start, these desks can be adaptableto go in almost any office. Here’s our definitive guide to selecting a corner desk.

Tip #1

What do you want your corner desks to do?

Firstly you have to ask why you need a corner desk. They are so versatile and their uses are many, buthere’s a short list of reasons why they may be a great option for you.

OK, so by understanding if you really need a corner desk is a great start. Otherwise, perhaps a simplestraight desk or even a wave desk may be a better option.

Tip #2

Work out who will sit where. Ask the question who prefers a bigger work space on their desk to the right.Then you will want a right-hand corner desk.

The very same would apply for someone who prefers a more ‘left’ dominant workspace. But somehow,there will have to be a compromise and most people are fine either way.

Tip #3

REALLY IMPORTANT: Make sure that you measure the length and width of the corner desk.

This sounds so obvious but you would be suprised how often this is over looked. You see, most corner orergonomic desks begin with a 1400mm length. Anything smaller and you risk not being able to add anyunder-desk storage, such as a pedestal. (This really only applies to corner desks).

Yes, you can get a 1200mm. But this is not a standard size and so you may find it will have to be custommade. Most ergonomic and corner desks are around 1200 in width, and length sizes are 1400, 1600 and

1800mm.

So like the old proverb, “measure twice – cut once” you need to be double sure of the right space andlength.

We stock a huge range of different sizes, but if you are ever unsure then you can give us a call or contactus. We can advise you based on the measurements that you give us.

Finally, deciding to go with an ergonomic or corner desk will open up your options. If you are looking tocreate a cluster of desks of around 4 or more then we provide a free CAD drawing based on yourmeasurements. This is 3D and will show you just how your desks will look in your office.

Also, if you are building a cluster, then consider some desk-top screen partitions running along the middle.This gives your co-workers comfortable privacy when they work.
