Desk & Table

A floor plan, the number of desks or seats, the types of tables you need and your delivery destination are a good starting point. If you already have preferred product images, sizes or finishes, include those too. Even if the layout is still being planned, sharing what you know helps narrow down suitable options.

The available sizes, finishes and configurations depend on the desk series. If you’re furnishing several areas, share your preferred look, floor plan and the products you want to coordinate. M&W can help you review suitable options before you settle on a combination.

A conference table usually provides one shared surface for discussion around it. Training tables are often chosen when participants need individual places to write or use laptops, and when the room may need different seating arrangements. The right option depends on how the room will be used most often.

Start with your usual number of meeting participants and the dimensions of the room. Allow space around the table for chairs to move and people to walk through. If your team uses screens, laptops or other meeting equipment, consider the space those items will need as well.

Not necessarily. Height adjustable desks are useful where people want the option to change working positions during the day. For other areas, a fixed-height desk may be sufficient. You can decide which workstations need that flexibility based on how they’re used and your project budget.

Benching places multiple workstations together and can work well when a team shares an open area. Individual desks give you more freedom to position each workspace separately. The better choice depends on your floor plan, team size, need for separation and how often the layout may change.

Share your floor plan, the number of workstations you need and any fixed features, such as doors, columns or existing meeting rooms. Desk dimensions can then be checked against the layout, along with space for chairs, circulation and access to storage. This is especially useful before choosing a multi-person workstation arrangement.

Start with how each area will be used and how many people will work there. Single desks suit individual offices, while benching or desk systems can accommodate teams in a shared area. Then consider height adjustable desks, meeting tables and training tables where those activities are part of your office plan.
