Most office furniture manufacturers are offering  their own version of a bench desking system, ranging from a simple linked desk design to a high end all singing  and dancing cable managed, sliding top affair.

But in general  the main similarity is that the desks are designed as double desk ( two desk facing each other)  setups which can share their end legs with neighbouring desks.

This offers two advantages in terms of price and space as not so many legs are needed when compared to a free standing desk setup.

“OPEN”  is a budget range of office furniture which offers everything that a basic  bench desk range would offer and a little more.

The desks sizes are comprehensive, as you would expect (80 cm, 120 cm, 140 cm, 160 cm and 180 cm)  the systems comes with integral cable management, and the desk frame has been designed to accept a wide variety of central dividing desk mounted screens.

For many years we have been selling height adjustable tables, or more precisely electrically height adjustable desks  from our main office furniture site, but not without some problems.

Our main source of height adjustable tables is a Danish company called Conset, and although cheap, their product range is a not very specialised.

Their products, like all things based on price, are a little compromised and therefore the purchaser needs to make some allowance for this. For instance on certain sizes of height adjustable desk the desk frame actually partly blocks the cable port. To a normal person this would be regarded as a bad design but this height adjustable desk manufacturer is willing to accept slight flaws such as these on the basis of cheaper manufacturing costs ( and presumably less intelligent designers).

The other area where these desks have more serious problems, is where they are purchased, for example, by wheelchair users who need an electrically height adjustable desk in order just to get on with their life. The Conset  height adjustable desks all have horizontal support beams between the height adjustable legs, which reduce the amount of leg room available. This also restricts the amount of under desk space for CPU’s especially when using a CPU cradle, as the CPU has to be positioned in front of the support beam.

So if you are just after some height adjustable office furniture then in most cases their  products will fit the bill.

However, should you be looking for a height adjustable desk which has been specifically designed for a wheelchair user, then Scanflex have some very interesting and very clever products.

We will be dealing with their product range in greater detail later but  one of their products which we are very excited  about is a four  legged height adjustable desk or table, where each of the rectangular legs are height adjustable, and all operated at the same time by one control.
The legs are fixed to a box section perimeter frame, which will support all kinds of standard office desk tops. These box section frames are available in any length which allows for maximum flexibility. And best of all, the perimeter frame gives the user of the desk, the maximum amount of under desk space, and cable ports can be situated anywhere without risking being blocked by the steel frame. Plus there is plenty of room to accommodate a mobile pedestal  ( drawer unit on wheels) under the desk as well

This height adjustable desk or table and many other clever designs can be seen at on their website at www.scanflex.co.uk

Bench desks are a recent innovation in the office furniture world, but there are already quite a number of ranges on the market. Bench desk systems are usually used for more efficient use of space and because they share components, eg legs and desktops, they are often the most cost effective as well.

One of the most cost effective bench desk systems we have come across is the MT60 system from GDB International.

MT60 Bench Desks

This is a stylish, modern design with a arched leg. The innovative leg system means that you can buy a starter unit, and then use add-on units to create a run of desks as long as you need. The add-on unit is considerably cheaper since it only requires a single leg arch. The system is available with aluminium or graphite legs and cherry, beech or maple tops. There are rumours that it will soon be available in additional colours, including white, which is becoming very fashionable in modern offices. The MT60 range includes a full range of matching office storage and meeting room furniture. In a multi-desk configuration, the MT60 can cost as little as £100 per person. Continue reading »

may want to have office furniture which is adapted to suit workers outside the averages or with reduced mobility. In fact, many people interpret recent legislation regarding health and safety at work and disability discrimination as requiring employers to make height adjustable desks available to those who require them. Some classes of workers often want to use sit-stand desks, ie desks which can be easily transformed for use either sitting or standing. Many graphic designers, architects etc prefer to work in this manner.

There are basically three different types of height adjustable desk: fit-and-forget, mechanical and electrical. I will describe each in turn.
