- Determine your needs. Choose either a modern design or wood grain. Writing surfaces are pieces of furniture that are used quite a bit, so you’ll want a choice that finds and combines the best form and function.
- Measure your workspace. If it’s a small area, you’ll need to take a look at a compact desk, possibly with a hutches and lower storage compartments. If it’s a larger area, L-shaped or U-shaped might be an option.
- Look for European connectors if you’re buying ready-to-assemble furniture. Global makes assembly easy – all you need is a screwdriver.
- Avoid tangles. Make sure your desk has at least one grommet hole to keep computer and telephone wires out of the way.
- Give your business an edge. Each Global desk series come with its own attractive edge design.
- Island worksurfaces let you meet with more than two people at once with ample leg room for all.
- Choose one of Global’s height/angle adjustable keyboard trays to go with your desk. Your arms can maintain a comfortable position, reducing shoulder, back and neck strain.
