What you should know before buying a desk
A desk is essential for any office work, whether at home or in the company, providing comfort for carrying out tasks. Here are key aspects to consider when choosing the ideal desk:
Ergonomics for comfortable working or studying:
- Maintain good posture with a straight back and elbows and knees at a 90-degree angle.
- Use a chair designed for work.
- The height of the desk should allow the chair to slide underneath and the eyes to be at monitor level.
- Feet resting on the floor or on a footrest.
Desk Designs:
- Tables without drawers: Ideal for minimalist, rustic or industrial spaces.
- Tables with drawers: One or two drawers to store items, leaving space for the chair.
- File cabinets: Three or more vertical drawers or storage spaces.
- Tables with shelves: Vertical spaces upwards, useful for additional storage.
- L-shaped tables: Ideal for corners, providing more surface area and storage.
Manufacturing materials:
- Wood: Strong, easy to work with and aesthetically pleasing.
- Chipboard: Light and easy to assemble.
- Steel and metal: Common in the base structure, offering durability and style.
How to choose your table correctly:
- Consider height to maintain proper posture.
- Surface depth is crucial if multiple devices are used.
- Evaluate the specific use to determine the best option.
Who should use a desktop:
- Professionals who serve customers, work with computers, study, create content, design or perform repairs.
Organizing a home office:
- Define the essential elements: tables, chairs, devices.
- Choose the style of each element and make sure you cover the basics before decorating and adding elements that beautify the space.
In short, almost any profession can benefit from a desk, especially if a computer is used, as it is designed to provide comfort and improve productivity and health.
