Desk Jargon
We understand that some of the terms below may mean nothing to you when we mention them, so we have put together a few useful diagrams and descriptions that hopefully help you understand a little better.
Rectangular desk A straight edged rectangular desk typically 800mm deep. |
Single Wave Desk Left hand (LH) and right hand (RH) single wave desks allow users to sit closer to their workstation, maximising space and increasing ergonomics. |
Double Wave desk Double wave desks like single wave desks allow the user to sit closer but feature a central curve that provides ergonomic support |
Radial Desk A great desk to maximise space whilst also increasing desk size. Providing full ergonomic support a radial desk reduces the need of movement, as full 90-degree desk access is available. |
Height adjustable desk Growing ever more popular, height adjustable desks can be adjusted vertically to allow the user full control. More recently height adjustable desks have been used for sit/ stand desks operated by manual crank handles mechanisms or electronically. |
Cantilever desk A very popular type of frame for desks (and chairs). Two cantilever legs either end of the desktop support the whole unit. |
Freestanding (Four Leg) desk A more typical desk/ table design. The desk is supported by a four-legged frame. |
Bench Desk Not to be confused with rectangular or stand alone desks, a bench desk allows for multiple users using only one frame- fantastic for maximising space and creating team environments. Usually 800mm deep per user |
Slim desks/ bench desk Much like a standard desk or bench desk a slim desk or bench desk allows users to share one frame with multiple workstations. A slim bench desk is just 600mm deep per user- perfect for small offices or tighter spaces! |
