Here at Office Furniture Direct2U we understand it can be a struggle choosing the right office furniture. With so many products, and product variations available in the market today it is understandable why consumers become confused, particularly with office desks.
On average employees spend around 35-40 hours a day at their office desk, often more in control rooms and call centres. This is why it is essential to get the choice right!
We have therefore, wrote a short post on how to choose the right office desks. We hope it helps!
- Comfort – it is widely known in the office furniture market that comfortable office furniture has a great impact on productivity, improving employee morale and motivation.
- Space – whether purchasing a single office desk or investing in an office full of desks, you need to consider the space you have available. You need to ensure that the office desks will fit into the office, giving employees the space to move around the furniture freely. Extra’s such as office storage should also be considered at this stage, as you will need enough space to be able to open drawers and cupboard doors.
- Think to the future – in the future are you expecting for the office to expand in employee numbers? If so, plan ahead. Many companies such as us offer quantity discounts on large orders. You could save yourself and a lot of time in the long run!
- Style – choose something that looks good. Your staff, customers and visitors will have to look at the office furniture for years to come. Add a splash of colour.
- Functionality – just because something looks good it doesn’t necessarily look good. As we mentioned above, you should choose office desks with style, buy you must ensure they offer both functionality as well as style. Different office desks suit different office environments better, choose the right style for your environment.
- Ergonomics – you should ensure that the office desks you choose meet health and safety requirements, especially in environments where there are long hours of work. If our products do not state on the website whether they meet such requirements, call our sales team and they will do our best to find you the information. Ergonomics is also an important feature when buying an office chair, something we will look into further in the future.
- Extras – on many occasions, there is not just office desks in an office. Storage is often needed such as drawer pedestals, filing cabinets, office cupboards and office bookcases. Many of the office desk ranges available offer complimenting office storage. Office storage is both a practical way of keeping a tidy office and making your office look complete!
