How to Select the Right Executive Desk for Your Office?

There are various kinds of executive desks and they are designed around the main activities of executives who do a combination of computer work, paperwork, and meetings. The following is a list of things to consider when planning an executive desk for executive officers.

L-Shaped Executive Desk

Allows for both work and meeting space.

Combined with one side desk or a return cabinet, even with back credenzas.

Open Executive Desk Plan

Combined with two desks (one is for small meeting table), two credenzas, or a desk and credenza.

Ergonomics and Space

As an executive desk, it should provide clearance for seating. You should consider an executive desk which might meet the sizes, including width and height, to find an appropriate space for the user.

Optimally, there should be at least 3.5 feet of space behind an executive desk. A minimum of three feet of space should also be available in-between the executive desk and another set of office table.

For computer-users keyboards need to be placed at a comfortable height. Computer desks should either be equipped with a keyboard platform or legs that can be adjusted. Be sure that any keyboard platform is large enough to hold a mouse.

Desktop equipment and materials should be reached to within an approximate distance, and should have sufficient space for work freely and comfortably.

Executive Desk Surface

Laminate

A laminate finish, as the mainstream of material for tops, that is applied to a wood core, comes in a wide array of colors swatches and wood grains. Usually, for a quality laminate and high end offices, high pressure laminate (HPL) is also becoming more and more popular.

Wood or Veneer

Veneer is a thin surface layer of wood, widely applied in executive tables. Veneer desks generally look more attractive, more modern, which are preferred among bosses and corporate leaders.

Quality and Durability of Executive Desks

How to identify whether it is a quality a desk, besides of the main top, another is evident in the construction of the side cabinets and credenzas.

Drawer design cabinets

Drawers should open and close. Optimally, the drawers can slide out to their full length to allow full and easy utilization of space.

Cabinets

High quality wood drawers are assembled with an interlocking (dovetail) construction; this is stronger than drawers put together with just staples or glue. Also, this also reflects on the storage spaces, wooden doors, glass doors, with in-built lights, etc.
