Tips to choose the perfect wooden office table for your space

The right furniture is key to making your office a productive and comfortable space. In terms of office furniture, a table and chair are non-negotiable. When it’s time for you to go furniture shopping, here are a few tips that could help you choose the perfect wooden office table for your space.

Match the table to your working style

Does your work involve sketching over large sheets of paper or working on the computer? The type of work you do determines the type of table that is best for you. If your work is mostly computer related, you should make sure the desk has wire managers. On the other hand, if you generate a lot of paper work, you need a desk with a large surface area and drawers to manage your files. The type of work you do will also influence the type of storage your table must have. Do you need cabinets to store reference books or drawers to store stationary?

How many people will use your desk?

Office tables can be constructed from many different materials. If the table will be used only by you, a solid wooden office table would be a great choice. However, you should be aware that wood is easily scratched and may be considered high maintenance. Hence, this may not be the best choice for a table that will be used by multiple people. In such cases, table with a veneer or laminate covering may be easier to maintain. Of course, the number of people using your desk also influences the table size needed.

How much space do you have available?

When you’re setting up a home office, space is an important consideration. Your table should be sized such that it has enough desktop space and yet leaves enough floor space for you to move around it. If you have a very small space, you may want to consider wall mounted tables or folding tables. Ideally, you should have atleast 3 feet of space between the office table and other furniture in the room. If you’re planning to put your chair between the table and the wall, the table should be at least three and a half feet away from the wall.

Match the table design to your office décor

Your table will be one of the biggest pieces of furniture in the room. Hence, it is essential for the table to table to match your décor style. An ornate table with carving detail would suit a classic space while a table with sleek legs is better suited to a modern space. You may want to buy your table and chair together to ensure the design styles matches.

Like other types of furniture, you can shop for a wooden office table online. Browse through different designs and picture them in your office space to find one that matches your décor and functionality needs. When you’ve found the perfect piece, you can have it delivered to your office. Depending on the style of the table, you can get help assembling and installing the table as well.
