Computer tables can be not only direct.

People working at home hardly need to explain the importance of competent design of the workplace. It should be ergonomic and comfortable. However, in stores people often make compromises, believing that the table in any case remains the table, there is nothing wrong with buying a model that does not quite correspond to the initial desires. Maybe after reading this article, someone will think about it and still be able to find for themselves truly comfortable and convenient furniture for the workplace.

Dimensions

There are several main criteria for choosing a table. If, for example, it is planned to use not a laptop, but a personal computer, for installing the monitor it will be necessary to provide for a tabletop depth of at least eighty centimeters. The monitor must be located at such a distance. In addition, in front of you on the table space, you can also freely place the mouse and keyboard necessary for paper. Sixty centimeters in depth will be enough if you plan to work only with a laptop.

In general, the table should be approximately one hundred and twenty centimeters long. This will be enough for a mouse, keyboard, desk lamp, as well as papers, books, a cup of tea or coffee, a phone. Authentic furniture is required if the work involves a large number of documents printed on paper. The length of the table for such work should be one hundred fifty or more centimeters.

Seventy to eighty centimeters is the comfortable height of such furniture. The spine should not bend while at the table, it should be convenient to place your hands on the countertop. Of course, you can adjust your position relative to the table and having a height adjustment computer chair, however, higher tables in any case, you need to choose people with high stature, lower - with small.

The form

Computer tables can be not only direct, but also U and L-shaped. Rectangular desks, that is, straight lines, can have any size. In the corner are L-shaped, that is, angular models. This option is considered optimal for small apartments. Such tables may have a diagonal-perpendicular or diagonal arrangement. In the first case, a person can sit perpendicularly and facing the corner, in the second - only facing the corner. Three work surfaces has a U-shaped table. By capacity, he is a leader. There are also desks. They can have several tiers and a small countertop. For a laptop, this is quite a suitable option.

Shelves

There must be a drawer shelf for the system unit so that you can easily connect headphones or something else. In addition, the ventilation there should be good. Often, compartments on wheels are offered for the system unit.

You can abandon the shelf for the keyboard, if the countertop is enough space for it. By the way, a special shelf will be necessary if the countertop is narrow, the table itself is compact. Under the monitor, the shelf is often made in the form of a pedestal, it rises above the level of the countertop. However, this approach is not correct, you need to install the monitor either just below the countertop, or on the table itself.

Useful “shelves” also include a footrest. Thanks to her, she can take the most comfortable position at the table. For a child, it will be especially useful if his legs simply do not reach the floor. Shelves for books, papers and peripheral devices can be provided on the sides of the table or on top.

Stand

You can save space on the table if there are cabinets in the kit, because there you can remove all the documents. Roll-out models of cabinets are more convenient, as they make moving and cleaning easier. Most often, there are several drawers in the cabinets. Reliability of accessories here needs to be paid special attention, all shelves should be opened as easily as possible.

Materials of manufacture

Different materials can be used to create the frame of computer tables. Most often this is wood, particle boards, glass or metal. Protective compounds laminate chipboard tables. Thanks to them, the design is more protected from various influences. But at the same time, in terms of parameters, such plates are significantly inferior to natural wood. They can swell when wet. In addition, chipboard tables do not tolerate assembly and disassembly, may contain harmful resins. In this case, attention must be paid to the ecological class. In addition, the thickness of the material should be more than seventeen millimeters.

MDF is more expensive wood-based panels, but they are more environmentally friendly and durable. Tables made of such material look quite presentable, serve for a long time. It is important to ensure that the edges are glued at a high quality.
