Modular Benching Solutions for Growing Teams

2026-01-27

As teams grow, office space often becomes a challenge. Traditional cubicles occupy too much space and limit interaction, while completely open layouts can feel messy and unorganized.

A modular benching system offers a practical middle ground. It supports collaboration, keeps the workspace flexible, and makes daily work easier for growing teams.

 

Understanding the Benching System

 

A benching system is a modern office layout solution that replaces closed cubicles with shared workstations. Employees work side by side on long desks, while still having their own defined space. This setup is widely used in open offices, creative studios, tech companies, and project-based teams where effective communication is important.

Why Benching Systems Make Sense for Growing Teams?

 

When a company is expanding, the office layout often needs to change more than once. Fixed desks and fixed sizes quickly become a limitation. A modular benching system allows companies to adjust desk length, seating capacity, and layout without replacing the entire furniture setup.

The open design removes physical separation while still offering personal work zones through partitions and accessories. With benching desks, you can:

  • Share ideas more easily
  • Discuss projects without barriers
  • Work together in real time

Flexible Desk Size That Adapts to Change

 

One important feature of this benching workstation system is the adjustable desk size.

The length can be adjusted from 1200mm to 1800mm using an adjustable connecting bar, which allows the desk frame to fit different workspace requirements. The connecting bar can change size:

  • There is no need to store multiple desk frame sizes
  • One system can support different layouts
  • Office planning becomes more efficient

For office furniture projects, this modular approach reduces cost and simplifies future expansion.

 

Clean Cable Management for a Better Work Environment

 

Cable management has a direct impact on both appearance and work efficiency. The benching system hides both power cables and data cables, keeping the workstation clean without affecting daily use. To avoid signal interference:

  • Power cables and data cables are separated
  • A Keel Tray is recommended to maintain signal stability

This design keeps desks tidy and supports a professional office environment.

 

Power Access Directly at the Workstation

 

Modern workstations depend heavily on power and data connections. Our benching desk includes a built-in power box on the tabletop, allowing each employee to access power and data directly from their own work position. There is no need to:

  • Reach under the desk
  • Share cables across workstations
  • Interrupt others to plug in devices

 

Integrated Power System with Mid Leg Design

 

To further organize cables, the system often uses a mid leg design to collect power cables within a defined area. All power in that area is supplied from the same station, which helps:

  • Simplify installation
  • Reduce visible wiring
  • Improve overall safety

For large office layouts, this integrated power solution makes maintenance easier and more consistent.

 

Stable and Durable Table Leg Design

 

Different office layouts require different table leg solutions. M&W benching workstation allows table leg types to be changed freely.

Instead of plastic, the adjustable foot is made from 3mm thick die-cast aluminum. Plastic parts may crack with temperature changes, while aluminum provides better long-term stability.

The VL series table legs are made from solid die-cast aluminum and can support up to 200kg, making them suitable for daily office use with multiple devices.

 

Accessories That Support Daily Office Work

 

A benching system should support more than just computers. Benching setup allows optional office accessories such as:

  • Writing boards
  • Pin boards
  • Accessory rails
  • Magnetic boards

Small items can be stored in a steel drawer fixed under the table. Different locker options are also available, giving users personal storage in shared workspaces.

Designed for Collaboration with Personal Space

 

The primary function of benching system is collaborative work in open offices. The extended work surface allows multiple users to sit side by side comfortably. At the same time, partitions create clear boundaries between work areas.

Color options include light surfaces, dark panels, and partitions in green, brown, and other modern colors to match different office design concepts.

 

A Practical Choice for Office Furniture Projects

 

The adjustable size, integrated power, durable structure, and flexible accessories of the modular benching system make it suitable for long-term office planning. It fits well into:

  • Open office layouts
  • Coworking spaces
  • Project-based teams
  • Growing companies
