Factors to Consider When Purchasing an Office Desk Set

Haworth Desk 3 (total of 5 desks)If you are currently in the market for an executive desk set, there are a number of factors to consider before making a selection, not just price. Factors such as the size of the office, storage options, the shape of the desk, data capabilities and more must be considered to ensure optimal functionality and appearance.

Size – Probably the most important factor to consider when purchasing a desk set is the size of the space it is being installed in. Ideally you would want the space to be large enough to accommodate the desk and two guest chairs. For tighter spaces it may be a better choice to select an L-shaped executive desk set, because it takes up less space. For larger offices a U-shape desk is a good choice because it contains more desk space.

Storage – The amount of storage space with the desk set is very important to consider. Does the desk set come with lateral filing, pedestals, a hutch, credenza, or a freestanding bookcase? If the desk set does not come with one of the following storage options, be sure to ask, does the office furniture provider have the ability to provide them?

Style and Finish – Aesthetically you want to consider a desk set that matches the overall feel of the office. Some finishes include maple, cherry, mahogany, walnut, laminates and more.
