Whether you need to furnish a small office, a home workspace, or an entire building - we've got you covered! Before you make your purchase, it's essential to consider a few factors to ensure you're making the right choice:
Who will use the Desks?
When buying office desks, consider the person who will using the desk - just yourself, just one employee or multiple employees? Be sure to ask yourself:
• Desk size: How big is the desk? Depending on your team’s workflow you might need a desk big enough for a laptop, monitors and keyboard and mouse but they might also need extra room to write or design on paper.
• Storage: Do you need draws attached to the desk, under the desk or on the desk? Do you need desk storage at all?
• Desk Height: We have standing desks, adjustable desks, and multiple desks in a variety of heights. Consider how long you or your team will be at the desk, and if they will find it comfortable.
• Availability of space: Do you have the space for a large desk or a row of desks, or do you need a smaller desk.
How much room do you have?
Consider the space you have available. If you don’t have a lot of room, think about a smaller desk or a more compact set up for your team. Utilise corner desks to fill space or use computer workstations to make the most of little space. If it is a home office think about single desks, or even small stylish desks such as the Teknik home desks.
Will it fit in with the rest of your office?
Does the finish and materials match the rest of your office? We offer a range of materials, colours and styles to match your workspace. These desks are guaranteed to be used every working day, to show up in marketing and promotion. Whether it’s for a messy classroom, a busy office or a smart boardroom, your choice of desk reflects your work.
What is your budget?
It is important to invest in quality and longevity. Depending on the material, finish, height, and size of the desk you can expect to spend upwards of €180. Brand, manufacturer, and features play a further role in pricing so make sure you take this into account when purchasing. Think about comfort, productivity, and style - everything you think will make it a worthy investment.
