We often get calls from customers asking what size office desk they should be buying, but it is an impossible question to answer easily without more information .

It’s a bit like someone asking a car dealer what type of car should they buy. There are so many factors that to answer the question you do really need to give your office furniture dealer as much information as you can.

You need to think about this question logically, which means starting with factors that you cannot change.

One of the most common terminals was the DEC VT52, a tiny monochrome screen in a huge box with a built-in keyboard.

Quite often this type of computer terminal had a mobile stand of its own, so that it could be wheeled around to where it was needed, or could be stood at the side of a desk. Initially they were used in laboratory and dedicated IT environments but they soon spread to offices where they were used for accounting, manufacturing and office automation. They were very expensive and often shared amongst users.
