🔨 Multifunction computer desk with add-in: size, modification, materials, popular models

More recently, we have done relatively lessons and worked for the common writing desks with one or two tables, which were boxes of papers and various office supplies. But here there were computers, and there were some problems with their accommodation. On an ordinary desk it has become difficult to simultaneously perform the usual tasks and work with a personal computer as a standard countertop ceased to hold everything you need. Therefore, furniture manufacturers have proposed a new design that allows you to fully engage in their studies or work PC. We offer to understand what is computer desk a superstructure and cupboards, its variants, manufacturing materials, use and advantages of the leading manufacturers.

Configuration and dimensions of computer desks with add-ons

If previously we were only available classic rectangular tables, but now the furniture industry offers a wide range of models of various shapes and sizes. The two most popular options of computer desks with add-ons, shelves, Lockers and pencil cases.

rectilinear table

Computer table is considered a classic rectangular design and is an excellent choice for pupils, students and staff. He has a relatively small width and can be installed almost anywhere in the room. The presence of the superstructure, shelves, cabinets, sliding board for keyboard and mobile stands for the system unit makes computer desk more functional.

corner construction

Corner computer desks differ from direct classical models not only form, but also a larger area countertops, functionality, as well as those that enable more efficient use of space in the corners of rooms, which often empty. Such designs allow to place the monitor, keyboard, organizers for the documents, the IFIs and stationery. Corner table - the best option for the organization full-time jobs.

Standard sizes of computer desks with add-ons

In the comfort of your stay largely due computer desk depends on its size. Therefore, when it is selected should take into account the anthropological characteristics of the user and the size of the room in which the design will be installed. If space allows, it is better to equip a separate home office, for which you should choose a model Tables made of natural wood valuable species.

Due to incorrectly selected design in the first to suffer and the posture of the user. Therefore, when buying a table the following parameters must be considered:

• Depth - 600 mm;
• the height of countertops - 700-800 mm from the floor;
• Working width - of 1000 mm.

These depth and width values ​​are generally applicable to the classical rectangular tables. For other designs: corners, Transformers or auxiliary structures are slightly different standards:

1. Width - 1 500-1 700 mm (corner) and 1 200-1 350 mm (narrow).
2. Depth - 550-700 mm (with small ins) and 850 mm (with superstructures and lockers).
3. The height of a superstructure or pencil cases - 1 200-2 000 mm.
4. The cutout in the inner corner to the user - 500-650 mm.

According to experts, for convenience, comfort and health of users sitting at a computer desk, their body should be in the following position:

• back - straight;
• knees should be bent at an angle of 90 °;
• hands placed on the table top and thus in the forearms, and shoulders should be no voltage;
• All muscles should be relaxed.

Modification of computer tables

As we have said, the classic computer desks, more reminiscent of the usual written, go to the the past, and they are replaced by more functional models with add-ons, cabinets, shelves and tables with boxes. Add-ons are generally open, which is caused by the peculiarities of operation.

Add-ons

Add-on for a computer table - as a rule, open design, mounted on the countertop. They are made of the same material as the rest of the table. There are models in which the sidewalls are used instead of the deaf chrome pipe which impart ease of construction and refinement. For add-ins include:

• shelf under the monitor. Typically, low and it may be stationary or mobile pivot;
• shelves for speakers. Such designs, depending on the column size, can take up a lot of space. They allow you to raise the speakers above the table and thus free up space on the worktop;
• stacked structure. Have a complex configuration, can be an open or closed. Sophisticated design with plenty of shelves for CDs, MFP, books and folders with documents more suitable for offices and those working at home. If all this is not necessary, it is possible to choose a simple and lightweight model.

Cabinets, cupboards, shelves and drawers

The difference between the computer desk with a superstructure or the cabinet is almost imperceptible. wardrobe, rack pencil case or called constructs that are installed on the floor. They can be completely open or closed, and there is a model in which there are "dull" facades and open shelves. In most cases, the door to the canisters are made of opaque or tinted glass. Narrow cabinets can be integral with a superstructure arranged on the table top, or be a separate structure that can be installed in any other place.

Computer desks, as usual, in writing, equipped with 1-2 tables with drawers or roller bearing guides. Instead of one of these bollards, some manufacturers install a stationary section to the chassis. For podsistemnika may also be used to support the mobile furniture castors. As supports to be used countertop curbstones Box, podstole sidewalls and made of the same material as the rest of the table, as well as chrome metal pipe with an adjustable footrest.

The materials used for the manufacture of computer tables with add-ons

Previously, desks made of solid wood or multi-layer thick plywoodBut with time range, the materials used, improved markedly. These added laminated chipboard (chipboard), MDF, plastic, metal and glass, and combinations thereof.

natural wood

Written or computer made of natural wood tables are distinguished by reliability, attractive design, environmental, safety and durability. They can fit perfectly in virtually any interior. Tables made of natural wood are very expensive, which is caused by the high quality and performance products. The surface structures in the protective and decorative purposes is coated with special structures and varnish. Such computer desks bought mainly for home offices and workplace design company executives.

Chipboard and MDF

construction of chipboard considered the most affordable due to low material cost. However, plates with low environmental safety class can release toxic formaldehyde. Computer tables from laminated chipboard are not of high quality and durability, in addition, the material is very sensitive to moisture and bad treatment of the ends of parts prone to failure.

Among the available materials for the manufacture of furniture MDF It occupies the second position. However, unlike chipboard, it is more reliable, durable, safe for human health and the different wear. As decorative and protective layer used film PVC, enamel and veneer. Material has a wide variety of colors and textures.

Metal and glass

To create computer desks metal is not used in pure form - only in combination with other materials. From it to create the framework and support, and countertops, drawers, shelves, supports for monitors are made of chipboard, MDF, wood, plastic or glass. The weak point of the structure is considered to place the metal compounds with other materials. Tables with metal frame are durable, resistant and are designed for heavy loads.

Glass blends with chromed metal racks, in addition, such designs look very light. Table top and sides are made of very strong, thick, and tempered glass. Through a combination of these materials, you can create computer tables of various configurations. However, these products are very expensive, have a load limit and need constant care.

Advantages and disadvantages of structures with superstructures and lockers

Computer tables, and even more with add-ons, unlike standard written, have a large work surface and many other advantages, namely:

Criteria for selecting the optimal model

Going to the store to buy a computer table, you need to consider some important points to help you choose the right model. The first step is to determine what size you need a design based on the dimensions of the room in which it is installed.
