All about Desks

Your guide to picking the perfect kind

A couple tips: 1 Decide the best space for you to work in. Ask yourself questions like: Do I want to sit near natural lighting? Do I want to sit away from the door to avoid distractions? 2 Measure the dimensions in your room. Leave at least 3-4 feet around the desk to allow room to move and remember to note windows, doors, electrical and phone outlets and other details that may affect your decision. 3 Check that the desk configuration and any matching pieces you choose will fit your desired setup.

Great for a single worker with box and/or file drawers for organization.
