Computer tables with shelves

In organizing a workplace at a computer, one cannot do without additional accessories, therefore one cannot simply use one or another structure. That is why computer tables with shelves are much better than concise options that do not have such details. Comfortable characteristics of furniture depend on the correctness of your choice.

Of course, you can take a chance and put the computer on a regular desk, but this decision is unlikely to be justified, because soon you will find that it is inconvenient to use a PC and that the stand for it is impractical. Being in a special compartment, the system unit is less dusty, and in the case of a desk, it is open to all contaminants. It will be extremely difficult to pull the cables, connect the devices to each other, and then have to follow, so as not to hurt or knock over anything.

There is only one minus for a model with shelves: you will need to pay a slightly larger amount for it than for a regular table. But this, in essence, is hardly a disadvantage. We need to figure out now what kinds of computer tables with shelves are.

Desk for the company will be useful for students. A logical requirement is the availability of a sufficient amount of space for storing stationery and teaching aids to perform tasks. People who are actively working with texts, including at a professional level, should choose solutions with the longest table top possible, then no problems will arise.

• Table with drawers can be very different in performance, but the best is the presence of two boxes. One of them is most often placed on the left of the workplace immediately below the main worktop (so that you can have frequently used items on hand), and the second or several additional items are placed in the pedestals, superstructures that come with the miniature lockers.
• Quality Worker table with pencil case allows you to conveniently store books, other printed publications, and even with a tabletop narrowed compared to office options, it is quite convenient to use it. Large tables of this type have shown themselves well in living rooms, offices and home offices. Still, keep in mind that the cases are in demand mainly by schoolchildren, and the cost of furniture, where they are present, is very high.

• Table with chest of drawers - this is not a classic model, but a bureau. The back wall is made very high, and the boxes are installed, both downwards from the tabletop and upwards from it (to keep there stationery and other trifles). Such a design is considered obsolete by both technologists and designers, therefore it should be used only in a baroque-style room or classicism. The upper shelves and in other versions are not too important, where lower superstructures bring much benefit, the choice of which should be given more attention.
• Retractable Computer Desk (equipped with numerous retractable elements) is very functional and allows you to store many things that do not interfere in the usual time, but are easily retrievable when needed.

• Option with bookshelves like working and students. If the table is large, it can even become a replacement for a separate cabinet. But even with a small amount, the benefit is unquestionable - reference books, photo albums, atlases, encyclopedias, dictionaries and other books can be kept at arm's length.
• Side Tables, installed from the bottom, should have a tabletop not shorter than 1.3 m. Often, retractable blocks are complemented by open platforms, which make it possible to install various office equipment. It is on such surfaces that modems, routers and other equipment are installed, access to which is not required every day.

• Shelf add-on for the table (most often equipped with lockers) is also a very good element. Depending on personal taste and environment, it can be made in a classic office design, and can be a fruit of almost unlimited imagination. Often, designers "play" with geometric shapes and curves.Located on top of the design can almost reach the ceiling and how to use this place, decide only the users themselves.
• Shelving tables PCs have a characteristic feature: the rack, as a rule, stands at a right angle to the plane of the tabletop. Think about whether he will not block the path of light rays.

Solutions with mounted shelves have their strengths and weaknesses. So, they are independent of the main part of the table and can remain in place if moved. For the same reason, you will definitely need to drill the wall, fix the product on it, and later it will not be so easy to move it.

A table with closed shelves is, for example, a cabinet-table transforming the construction, on the shelves of which a monitor, a system unit and other bulky devices are placed. This option is optimal if the room has a severe lack of space for a computer desk. In the closed compartments can also get out the paper and printed literature, toys.

Always study the delivery set carefully, so as not to overpay for unnecessary functions and not to lose sight of absolutely necessary things.

Having made a mistake with the selection of the dimensions of the computer desk, it is easy to cause damage to the vision and the spine. An overly high variant is not needed, but it also does not make sense to take models with a tabletop less than 0.7-0.8 m from the floor. The smallest permissible depth of the working part is 800 mm, and the length of the structure can be limited only by your needs. Consider the likely written work, and space for speakers, scanners, joysticks, and the like equipment.

For keyboard shelves, the ideal width is 70 cm, this is not too much, and the elbows will not hang in the air, becoming extremely tired during normal work.

Make computer tables from:

• DSP, MDF (both of these materials can be finished with veneer or decorative plastic);
• natural wood;
• high strength glass.

The final advice on choosing the optimal material is impossible to give, but you should pay attention to the advantages and disadvantages of certain types. Chipboards and MDF are available and relatively cheap, they allow you to create a beautiful appearance, but do not tolerate moisture or heat.

Glass is also perfectly safe in environmental and sanitary terms. It looks beautiful, but is expensive, easily deformed and broken, quickly gets dirty. General conclusion: if you do not strive to demonstrate their unusualness and luxury, but simply want a reliable and functional table, you need to focus on chipboard. It is recommended to give preference to this inexpensive veneered material. Also recommended to purchase more environmentally friendly options from chipboard class "E-1".

The possibilities of modern industry in painting furniture are almost unlimited. And yet, any specialists, whether designers or psychologists, believe that neutral tones are preferred for computer desks.

With practical capabilities, materials and the necessary size is more or less clear. But this data is not enough to choose a high-quality computer desk that will serve you for a long time.

• If you like to organize the space of the house under a personal taste and often modify it, you should stop the choice on the modular system. Removing and adding individual parts, it is very easy to transform it beyond recognition. For obvious reasons, the same solution is also recommended for frequently changing computers, disassembling and reassembling people.
• Consider that custom designs can not cost less than 10 thousand rubles. You must first understand whether you can pay the required amount and only then contact the master.
• For a small room, modular or corner solutions are ideal. It does not matter whether the workplace is created for a student or for an adult, it is necessary to take into account natural and artificial lighting. In this case, the table should become so that sunlight falls on its surface from behind the seated.

For all the importance of functional considerations, aesthetic, too, should not be overlooked. Monochrome designs are considered universal. Almost any interior will be in harmony with them. It makes sense for young users to donate a computer desk that looks similar to bar counters or is decorated in accordance with another fresh and bold plan.In modernist interiors, a table in a stepladder format will manifest its external appeal.

A computer desk-secretary with a folding console (which in the folded state acts as a cabinet door) will logically fit into a minimalist room. Warning: put a stationary computer is unlikely to succeed. In any case, the color should correspond to the general tone of the room, so that the table does not seem unnatural and absurd.
