How to choose a computer desk with wheels?

When choosing furniture, most people are interested not only in its compactness, reliability, durability and design. No less important is such a circumstance as the mobility of interior items. It is especially important for a computer desk, which often has to be moved.

The main advantage of movable furniture is the ability to change the environment in the house very quickly. Any self-respecting manufacturer has such models in its assortment.

A computer desk on casters has such undeniable advantages as:

• mobility (not only for rearrangement, but also to simplify cleaning);
• no risk of damaging the floor during any movement;
• the presence of additional functions (especially for small-sized products);
• ease of transportation when moving;
• the presence of additional features that a stationary table of the usual look does not have.

Computer tables on wheels are represented by such varieties as:

• angular model for students;
• large structure with drawers and auxiliary shelves. It is especially useful for those with a lot of work;
• miniature (mini-model).

The corner solution will look great not only in small-sized children's rooms, but even in reputable business centers. In addition to the PC or laptop itself, you can put MFPs, speakers, projectors and other necessary devices without overfilling the tabletop. Miniature tables for placing laptops appeared in the range of manufacturers not so long ago. Structurally, they differ little from the usual desks, but at the same time they are outwardly unique and are able to organically enter the most sophisticated environment.

Many options for computer desks, including wheeled ones, can be found in the Ikea catalogs. So, the "Goodmar" option is very inexpensive, and when the work behind it is over, you can remove the system unit under the table top by freeing the top panel.

Most often, wood, metal and glass are used in the manufacture of tables. All other materials are still quite expensive and impractical.

Glass work surfaces look very stylish in a modern interior, especially if the supporting elements in them are chrome-plated. Wooden structures of different colors will also fit well into many ensembles. Chipboard and MDF options are relatively inexpensive products, but due to veneer or decorative plastic finishes, they can look much more attractive.

When choosing a mobile table, be sure to consider its style, as well as its relevance in your home. In a minimalist environment, a small wheeled table is ideal, especially if it is made of high-strength glass. Dark tones are aesthetically correct when light colors dominate around. Smooth lines are capable of modernizing the design. If there are children in the house, rounded computer desks that do not have sharp corners will be more attractive and practical.

You can even put a small computer desk in niches, walls or under stairs. This step will help save space, but you will need to carefully consider how the furniture will look. Bright and original tones will be demonstrated: sonoma oak, wenge, milk oak. They look elegant and beautiful.

Experts are unanimous in the opinion that a compact computer desk should not be overly multifunctional. Attempts to use it for a variety of purposes at the same time or in turn will lead nowhere. Either all functions will perform equally poorly, or one will become dominant, and the rest will be secondary. Before buying, check whether it is comfortable to sit at the table you like. A barely noticeable inconvenience during long work will become very painful.

Among all wood products, those made from strong and durable oak wood are preferred. If you know that you will have to fill out a lot of documents and perform other written work, then it is advisable to buy a table with as many storage places as possible. No matter how important compactness is, remember that safe work at a computer is above all, therefore it is undesirable to take models with a countertop depth of less than 80 cm and a height from the floor of less than 70 cm. But the selection of the length of the working surface is purely a matter of your taste.

When choosing a computer desk for an office or home study, never take a model without a roll-out shelf under the keyboard. Be sure to think about whether it will be possible to put your computer and all the necessary additional equipment on the selected furniture. Also consider the weight of the structure, its stability and strength. Check the quality of the table edges, if they break or lose their appearance, then it will not be easy to solve such problems. Check the quality of the casters. They should not get stuck or make suspicious sounds when moving furniture.
