What should I look for when shopping for computer desks?
When shopping for computer desks, you have several options available to you. Some companies offer custom-built computer desks, whereas others provide pre-assembled desk units. Whichever type of desk unit you choose, you should always buy one that suits your budget and space requirements.
Before buying a computer desk, you should take into consideration a few factors:
You should decide whether you plan to place your computer monitor directly on top of your desk or whether you prefer to stand your computer off to the side.
You should figure out if you plan to store all of your electronic equipment (such as printers) under your desk or if you intend to separate them from your computer.
You should consider how large of a workspace you require.
Custom-Built Desk Units
Most companies that build computer desks offer three types of computer desks: standard, executive, and executive plus. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages. Standard desks are typically made of wood, steel, or plastic. They tend to be inexpensive, easy to assemble, and lightweight. However, they lack stability and durability.
Executive desks are similar to standard desks, except that they feature additional features such as adjustable shelves and drawers. Executive desks are generally built with a solid metal frame, making them sturdy and durable.
Executive Plus desks combine the features of both standard and executive desks. These desks include adjustable shelves, drawers, and cabinets. They come with a variety of accessories such as wheels, casters, and ladders. Most importantly, they are designed to accommodate larger monitors.
Pre-Assembled Desk Units
Some companies produce pre-assembled computer desks. Pre-assembled desks are typically made of particle board or MDF. Although they are cheaper than custom-made desks, they lack flexibility and customization.
For instance, you cannot easily add shelves or drawers to a pre-assembled desk. Also, the legs of a pre-assembled desk are fixed in position. Therefore, you cannot adjust the desk's height to suit your personal preferences.
Computer desks are versatile pieces of furniture. Because of this versatility, you should carefully consider your needs before purchasing a particular model.
