With the development of information technology, we began to spend more and more time at the computer desk. Therefore, it is necessary to take a responsible approach to choosing it in order to ensure the most comfortable time spent at the computer and not harm your health.
Choosing a table shape
A computer desk can be of absolutely any size and shape. But most often purchased: straight, corner and u-shaped tables.
Straight (linear) - practically no different from a regular countertop. However, it may have bedside tables below for the system unit, books, etc.
Typically there is a drawer for the keyboard. Thanks to its sharp and linear shape, it can be placed anywhere in the room. The prices for such tables are relatively cheap, but it all depends on the configuration.
Corner (L-shaped) - can only be placed in the corner of the room. It is distinguished by its compactness, thanks to additional shelves and drawers, you can conveniently arrange the system unit and all the necessary office supplies. A corner computer desk is perfect for small spaces, but there may be problems with lighting.
U-shaped - has a large work surface on which you can place a lot of office supplies, peripheral devices, etc. Best suited for those who spend a lot of time at the computer.
Models of modern desks
The choice of a desk depends on its purpose, the inclinations and specialization of the owner, the size of the apartment or room where it will stand, the presence of a personal computer, etc.
Models differ in design and functionality - the presence of drawers, bedside tables, niches.
Photos of a desk can be found in the brochures of furniture stores and carpentry shops, numerous fashion magazines, and on the Internet.
Structurally, a desk for both children and adults can be:
Corner. Placed in the corner of the room, a corner desk saves useful space and allows you to expand the owner’s field of activity.
Hidden. The folding tabletop is fixed in a horizontal or inclined position by a special mechanism. These can be folding legs or chains connecting the corners of the table top to the wall.
A type of hidden table can be one built into a window sill. Such a table is well lit during the day and allows you to perform small, precise work, for example, repairing watches and microelectronic equipment.
A desk with shelves is convenient to use for both schoolchildren and professionals. All necessary tools, materials, notes are placed on shelves with free access.
A classic rectangular desk can be made in any size if you order it from a carpentry shop or make it yourself. Placed by the attic window, it will attract you, inspiring creative work.
Office tables take any fancy shape at the request of the customer. Round, concave in the shape of a comma, like corner tables, but with rounded ends, long conference tables, desks with numerous tabletops, niches and drawers.
A computer desk, equipped exclusively for the use of a personal computer, with shelves, niches and a retractable table top for the keyboard. Can serve as an addition to the main desk.
All types of desks should be convenient to work with, preserve human health and inspire him to intellectual achievements and exploits.
Material selection
When choosing a table, special attention should be paid to the material from which it is made, because its durability and reliability depend on this.
Chipboard, the most commonly used material, is created by pressing wood chips. The price of computer tables made from this material is much lower. As a rule, a protective layer is applied to chipboard, so they are resistant to moisture and mechanical stress.
Sometimes such tables can become deformed and become covered with cracks. As a result, toxic materials (formaldehyde) enter the air.
Wood is an environmentally friendly, reliable material. Tables made from it are more durable and pleasant to the touch. It is distinguished by its massiveness and relatively high price.
Glass and metal - tables made from such materials are characterized by an ergonomic and stylish design. Best suited for offices whose interior uses a minimalist style. Glass collects fingerprints, so this surface requires constant care.
