Desks
A desk is the anchor point of any workspace, be it home, office, or a shared place of business. They are a quintessential piece of furniture for any student or professional and they often serve more than one purpose. In small spaces, they can act as a dining room table and provide additional storage. Meanwhile, in an office, a desk can serve as your home away from home.
At Staples, there is a wide array of models to choose from that are designed to fit your needs. Learn more about these desks below.
What are the Most Common Desk Styles?
Desks come in all shapes, sizes and styles. Below are some of the most popular types that are available at Staples. Read on to find out which one will suit you best.
Standing Desks
Standing desks offer the ability to work while standing up in order to improve posture and promote more ergonomic working positions. They encourage increased physical fitness in environments that are otherwise sedentary. Some standing desks offer adjustability, in order to move from sitting to standing during the day or to adapt to different heights for multiple users.
L-Shaped Desks
Corner desks, also known as, L-shaped desks, are perfect for taking full advantage of the space available in your office area by using corners and walls instead of the center of the room. Corner desks also offer the ability to move back and forth between different workstations without having to use separate surfaces.
Computer Desks
Computer desks offer a range of features designed to improve the experience of using a desktop, laptop or notebook computer. With the ubiquity of devices, many models are compatible with computer usage, but these desks offer the most tailored experience.
Writing Desks
Writing desks are smaller than traditional varieties, which makes them perfect for writing, creating arts and crafts and performing other activities that don’t require large amounts of space or storage. A writing desk is a great option for those who don’t regularly work from one space, but like to have the option available.
Executive Desks
