Desks

Desks offer a variety of options tailored to different needs and space conditions. In addition to the classic rectangular desk, there are also space-saving corner desks or height-adjustable versions. If you want your desk to fit into the room concept because you only need to use it rarely, options such as a folding desk or a secretary are also available. The most ergonomic desk solution for all age groups are height-adjustable desks.

At a young age, these desks grow with your body size. As an adult, you can change your working position individually and alternately work standing up. A desk supports your body optimally and can prevent or counteract poor posture, back and neck pain. In addition to the desk variants mentioned, there are, for example, computer desks that were developed specifically for the needs of digital media users. These desks often offer built-in cable management solutions and enough space for computer hardware. For fans of minimalist design or for those who have limited space available, there are particularly narrow desks. These are often only as deep as a laptop or a notepad and can therefore be integrated into almost any room. A desk that is playfully designed and adapts to the needs of the growing child is suitable for children. Another interesting option are desks with a built-in shelving system. This combination of work surface and storage space is ideal for small apartments or offices as it allows for efficient use of the available space.

It is often difficult to estimate which size is the right solution for you. However, there are some clues that you can use as a guide.
From Desk for children to the computer desk to the huge one Conference table you have the choice between a wide variety of shapes and sizes. So you should first think about where the good piece will be and for what purposes you will need it.
Would you just like to set up a desk corner in the living room or do you have your own room? Do you need a large desk with plenty of work space or do you want everything to be as compact as possible? Do you have separate cabinets for your files and documents or does an additional rolling container have to fit under the table?
If you run a regular home office, the classic one is ideal Computer desk with cable ducts and additional attachments for PC monitors and files. If, on the other hand, the desk is to be placed in a living room, you will probably choose a more inconspicuous model that fits the style of your interior and blends in elegantly. Take a look around our online shop – you're sure to find what you're looking for!
When it comes to the size of your new desk, you should always keep the spatial conditions in mind, because the basic rule is: not everything that is possible makes sense. A large desk offers a lot of work space, but can feel overwhelming in the living room. A harmoniously fitted PC desk corner, on the other hand, takes up little space and, if well thought out, can replace an entire office. The appearance also plays a role in the size effect: if the desk is white, it appears lighter and less bulky - even if it has the same dimensions as its black counterpart.

The desk must be high enough that not only any existing ones Drawer containers fit underneath, but especially your legs. Finally, you should sit comfortably while working and not hit your knees. By default, the height of the work surface of desks is usually 72 cm. If you are unusually tall or the PC desk is used by different people, a height-adjustable version could make sense.

Wood is generally a very popular material for desks. This looks natural and elegant at the same time. It can also be designed and combined in many different ways. MDF boards are often used as a cheaper alternative.

You can consider a desk made of solid wood as a high-quality purchase for life. You can recognize solid wood by its individual grain, which makes each piece unique. A solid wood panel is timeless and looks high-quality and stylish in any office. Because of the real wood, a desk made of solid wood requires special care. Desks with an MDF board, on the other hand, are easier to maintain.

MDF boards are medium-density fibreboards with a special coating for a desk. These score points with their weight and easy assembly. A plastic coating on the wood material makes it more resistant to water. This means you can easily wipe a desk with an MDF board with a damp cloth. Even though the panels lack the natural grain of solid wood, the panels are available in a variety of colors and patterns for your perfect desk because of the coating.

Be sure to take a look at the colored painted models in our online shop. A white desk can make a dull and dark room seem bright and friendly. If you choose black as the base color for your desk, it will certainly look elegant. But in this case, make sure to add bright accents elsewhere in the room. For a modern, very elegant office desk, glass can also be considered as a material for the work surface. Whether you prefer an oak or beech look desk depends largely on your existing interior design and your taste. As a guideline, we recommend combining things harmoniously for your desk and not using more than two different types of wood per room. A massive desk is almost a status symbol. It takes up space, expresses personality and conveys values ​​such as tradition, success and stability. A modest, small desk, on the other hand, looks better in a light and light material such as pine wood. In addition to white desks made of different materials, the inexpensive beech imitation is also popular with young people.

When setting up your office, make sure your desk is well made and uses high-quality materials. The more time you spend in this room every day, the more important it is that you feel comfortable in it.

Ergonomics in the workplace: What should I pay attention to when buying a desk?

In order not to overload your back muscles and spine from sitting for long periods of time, you need a healthy sitting posture at your desk. Ideally, you sit upright, your forearms are horizontal on the desk, your leg angle is about 90 degrees and the entire surface of your soles is in firm contact with the floor. It is also important that you can move your legs freely under the desk without bumping into them or getting tangled in cables.

For everything to work like this, desk and Office chair must be perfectly coordinated, and the chair must also be able to be individually adapted to the user. Depending on how long your legs are, the optimal seat height is between 42 and 53 cm. The seat width, on the other hand, should be between 40 and 48 cm. Your thighs must rest horizontally on the seat and the backs of your knees should extend at least two finger-widths beyond the front edge of the seat, even if your back is against the back of the chair and sitting in front of the desk.

Sitting at a desk for hours is generally unhealthy and the more time a person spends in a sitting position, the worse not only their physical but also their mental and emotional well-being becomes. It is therefore advisable to purchase one for the office height-adjustable desk, on which you can also work comfortably while standing. Try it out - you will have noticeably more energy, you will no longer tire as quickly and you will simply be able to concentrate better! Going up and down is also easy with one electrically height-adjustable desk.

So when you buy a desk, include the health aspect in your selection criteria right from the start. This also includes the correct lighting of your workplace and sufficient humidity. Above all, remember: It doesn't matter to your back whether your desk is black or white. Even the most beautiful designer table is worthless if you can't work on it without any symptoms!
