Tips for choosing
Experts are unanimous in the opinion that a compact computer desk should not be overly multifunctional. Attempts to use it for a variety of purposes at the same time or in turn will lead to nothing. Either all functions will be performed equally badly, or some one will become predominant, and the rest - secondary. Before buying, check whether it is convenient to sit at a table that you like on the outside.Barely noticeable inconvenience during long work will be very painful.
Among all wooden products, those made of strong and durable oak wood are preferred. If you know that you will need to fill out a lot of documents and perform other written work, then it is advisable to buy a table with as many storage places as possible. No matter how important the compactness, remember that safe work at the computer is above all, therefore it is undesirable to take models whose worktop depth is less than 80 cm and height from the floor is less than 70 cm. But the selection of the length of the working surface is a matter of your taste.
When choosing a computer desk for an office or home office, never take models without a roll out shelf under the keyboard. Be sure to think whether it will be possible to put your computer and all the necessary additional equipment on the selected furniture. Also consider the weight of the structure, its stability and strength. Check and quality of facing the edges of the table, if they break or lose their appearance, then solving such problems will not be easy. Check the quality of the wheels.They should not get stuck or make suspicious sounds while moving furniture.
