Corner Office Desks

One of the most common types of desks are those for the corner office. The top corner office desks save space by fitting conveniently into the corners of a room, so the room nearly always appears bigger. Additionally, by staying close to walls near electric outlets they are very easy to power without having unsightly wires and cables trailing across the floor. Desks designed face walls or windows such as the Mayline Mira Series Corner Desk often leave a lot of open space to allow plenty of room for any office chairs you might want.

Modern Office Desks

For a workplace that prides itself on a sense of sleek modern design and functionality, nothing says it more than a modern office desk. Todays modern office desks typically feature glass or metal accents to keep things up to date. They provide ample storage space often in the form of stylish cabinets, drawers or shelves, as well as plenty of desk space to work on. Most modern desks like the Mayline Napoli Series Desk seen above feature sharp angles and gorgeous chrome accents that speak volumes about the modern age and so will leave a lasting impression in any workplace!

Modular Workstations

In the realm of efficiency, nothing beats a modular workstation. This nifty new desk style brings together all the parts of a single office into one and often combines multiple desks so that one unit can be used by many individuals. These desks actually save space so a workroom isn't crowded with a bunch of separate desks or office utilities such as bookcases or cabinets. Instead, by integrating desk space with these office necessities, everything is at arm's reach. Easy and very efficient to power, they always provide plentiful storage and instantly clean up a crowded space with style. So if you're looking for an easy way to do any of these tasks, or even all of them, modular workstations are always a brilliant start!

Cubicles

Cubicles have always been great space savers, but unfortunately, they have a bad reputation of being somewhat unsightly. Not anymore! Todays modern cubicles still retain all the characteristics we know and love them for: versatility, easy to power, space efficient, individualized workspace, and able to add or remove units.  Just like the old days, they have the option to be assembled against walls, all together, in lines, islands, or in patterns, but now they've had a complete and total makeover and are perfect as training room furniture or in a traditional workroom! Cubicles have been totally redesigned to reflect the characteristics of most modern decor. Many of them feature wood or metal desks, stylish separators, and even color options! They provide ample desk space as well as small individual cabinets or shelves for storage so nothing is left to be desired!

Modern executive desks have more categories than most game shows and are available with numerous options. You can choose from bow front desks for an elegant touch, straight front desks, traditional styles, U-shaped desks, or ones with a uniquely modern design. They can be  manufactured with a host of materials and are available wood, metal, or glass, sometimes even all three, and with even more options for finishes. Whether you want one that is small, tall, big, wide, or curvy, there are always stylish executive desks out there with exactly what you need!

Saves Space

If space is a problem in your workspace, there is not a more practical solution than a multi user workstation. Top multi user workstations take advantage of limited space by allowing two or more individuals to occupy a work zone comfortably instead of cluttering a room with multiple desks.

A prime example of a wall-desk configuration is the Cherryman Verde Multi User Executive Station. The brilliant design of this workstation saves space while simultaneously allowing enough room for its users to have their own workspace.

With modular workstations like the Rize 3 Person Privacy Station your workstations can remain as fast paced as your workplace!

Office Cubicles vs. Modular Workstations


With advances in technology and office furniture manufacturing, the ergonomic attributes, cost, and value of panel system furniture has never been greater. In today's post we will compare the features and benefits of traditional office cubicles to the modern modular workstations of today.


First and foremost we will compare the cost of these two unique furniture styles. While at surface level these two seem relatively similar in terms of cost, several factors come into play that may point you towards finding value in one style versus the other. For example, buying used office cubicles is an excellent way to save money. Since cubicle furniture has been around forever, there are ample sources online and in your town that provide used panel furniture solutions. This is an excellent way to save money! The only downfalls of purchasing used is that the life span of your furniture will be shorter and the style will typically be dated. That's not to say their aren't some fantastic deals out there! In this economy several businesses have been forced to close their doors and for that reason finding used furniture deals has never been easier. In terms of modular workstations, the upfront cost will be greater. However, you will be buying industry leading furniture with the latest ergonomic features and benefits. New multi user workstations will provide your business with the highest level of working efficiency possible. The decision between these two styles is typically made after setting a budget, meeting with a furniture specialists, and determining what you need out of your furniture. For the sake of today's post we will give a slight edge in cost to office cubicles.


If you haven't heard the term ergonomics at your place of business, then you must have been taking a ton of sick days! That being said ergonomic is quite possibly the most important factor in determining the needs of your workplace. In our current furniture match up, both styles offer value in this arena. Office cubicles can be outfitted with ergonomic monitor arms, and several cool ergonomic add-on type products to keep you functioning properly. However, with the advances in modern manufacturing and the importance of employee health, modular workstations are typically the more ergo friendly choice. Some of the latest styles feature built-in ergonomic technology and workstations allow users to reconfigure spaces to meet their individual needs. Quite frankly if you haven't had the chance to see new modular office furniture collections like Zira casegoods, Mayline e5 furniture, and several others, do yourself a favor and visit a showroom. You will be thoroughly impressed. That being said the ergonomic gold medal goes to modular workstations leaving our battle of these two great furniture styles all tied up!


Now that we have covered cost, and ergonomics, we come to round 3. Our topic... Value! Obtaining value from office furniture can be accomplished by following simple cost vs. reward principles. Knowing your industry and what you need to be effective to succeed is essential. Testing both of these furniture solutions before purchasing and requesting feedback from your coworkers is priceless. You will find that adding every bell and whistle possible to your furniture configuration is unwise and quite frankly, unnecessary! It's said that value is in the eye of the beholder. This principle holds true with office furniture too, and seeing as value is a perception this round must be a tie. Ask this question before purchasing ANY type of office furniture. What will my business gain from this acquisition? If the perceived value is high than you are a winner. If you've answered professionalism, ergonomic efficiency, sustainability, and cost effectiveness, than you are a champion.


In our final round we will cover style! As previously stated, if you have a chance visit a showroom or furniture expo like NeoCon. You will be shocked at the advancements in modern furniture manufacturing and craftsmanship. If you are looking for modern style and unique layout capabilities both of these furniture styles have something to offer. Office cubicles are typically designed with privacy in mind. High walls dictate the look and style of this popular furniture choice. Cubicle furniture typically takes the "as many as we can fit" approach and can look a bit overcrowded if not designed properly. Contemporary modular workstations on the other hand are the complete opposite. They offer an open and distinguished look. This form of furniture promotes the size of your workspace. In the simplest terms, modular workstations make your space look much larger and have a much better "wow" factor. Based on your individual needs this round can go either way. However, all benefits considered modular workstations get the win!
