Recommendations for choosing a computer desk with an add-on

Many people do not have enough space at the computer. Every now and then you have to write something, read something, go through documents and handwritten notes, and you need to store both of them somewhere. In order to have where to put the necessary things, just a computer desk with add-ons serves, but you need to choose it correctly.

The add-on affects not only the size of the working area and the price of the entire structure, but also the functionality of the product. It should not be too high, otherwise it will block the lighting, and it will be inconvenient to reach very high tiers. Tables with shelves can be unstable, so check carefully before buying for balance. Sometimes outwardly beautiful furniture requires an obligatory emphasis on the wall or even attachment to it. An important advantage of tables with an extension is that they allow you to organize, streamline work at the computer, even for a large family.

The table should, no doubt, be comfortable. This means that the tabletop must abut against the solar plexus, be at its level. It is very bad when there is no clearance from it to the knees, this significantly reduces the comfort of the user. You do not need to buy an excessively wide table, but both elbows should be free and calm on it - it will be more convenient to write and read this way. The height is selected individually, it is unacceptable that the superstructures go to the very ceiling - this is not only impractical, but also ugly, cumbersome. Think about whether it will be possible to carry this or that product through your doors.

White is completely impractical: no matter how you try to clean up the mess, the table will still quickly become covered with dust and dirt. It is more appropriate to choose imitation of solid wood. It creates the optimal mood for work and does not overly distract. Choosing flashy, saturated colors is undesirable, because they will cause emotional stress.

Painting under wenge can be used if you want to emphasize the aristocratic and elite atmosphere, to highlight a piece of furniture in the room. Please note only that this color shows its capabilities well only in intense light. If there is not enough light, it begins to seem gloomy and unnecessarily heavy. Country and Provence lovers should choose a color that imitates expensive natural wood.

A chipboard computer desk is cheap, but it doesn't make much sense to buy it - this material is toxic and not practical enough. Within a couple of years, you will find that you need to buy new furniture. So in the budget category, it is more correct to stop your choice on MDF. And if there is an opportunity to spend a large amount, buy a construction made of natural wood, it will look better and will last for a long time. Attention: there is no place for a lacquered or painted table in the children's room, but unpainted wood should still be well sanded.

Natural wood and MDF will come in handy if the room is decorated in the following styles:

• Country;
• Provence;
• Ecological style;
• Ethnic styles;
• Classic motives.

The modernist environment is ideally compatible with glass and plastic products, aluminum, they will look even better in avant-garde, high-tech, minimalism interiors. A very good move is to make all the fittings match the facade frame.

Narrow tables are more practical than classic options, they can be placed in a relatively small area, and it is important that this will also be the least demanded part of the room - its corner. This should not affect the spaciousness, the well-thought-out design of the computer tables allows you to freely place books, notebooks (notepads, folders), and writing instruments.

Rectangular tables differ in that they fit better in a variety of interiors. The addition of shelves and cabinets frees up the countertop for work. The table in the shape of the letter P will be exclusive in appearance, in addition, it is convenient to use. But there is one indispensable condition - the availability of free space around the entire structure. The shape of the semicircle looks soft and can be very interesting, but it must necessarily overlap with the rest of the interior.

Desks with add-ons are suitable for schoolchildren and students, researcher, engineer, writer, journalist - in short, everyone who constantly works with a large number of documents - printed or handwritten. You can also choose solutions that are optimal for those who are fond of handicrafts, crafts, filming videos about their hobby. Each item will always be at hand and can be immediately filmed.

Small-sized tables often have only one curbstone, then there is a compartment for the system unit in it. All versions with roll-out boxes are large enough. The ratio of boxes, add-ons, niches is in no way connected with each other, and you can always choose the optimal configuration for yourself. Almost always, pull-out drawers are placed at the bottom of the table, with the exception of the need to constantly work with paper filing cabinets and catalogs. A mobile cabinet will help you move documents, records to the right place in the room, if the need arises.

A table with a superstructure, drawers and cupboards, allowing you to place many useful items, quickly becomes covered with dust. Choose and place it in such a way that you can get to the entire surface and any storage location without unnecessary tweaks. If possible, you should focus on the simplest design. If you still want to order a complex structure, be sure to ask the sellers to demonstrate it in a 3D simulation. The table top should be large enough so that you can safely put the keyboard and mouse on it, use them and not touch anything.

Versions with a roll-out keyboard shelf are not only convenient, but also make it easier to keep clean. All other things being equal, take furniture with footrests. This will make long-term active work more comfortable and will allow you to maintain your health. It doesn't matter whether it is a corner table or a straight one, a special compartment with free air access must be provided for the system unit, otherwise it will become too hot during operation. The monitor is always placed at eye level, you do not need to take such models that require you to lower your head to read text or watch a video, because constantly being in this position, you can provoke osteochondrosis.

The shelves for the installation of monitors are the lowest, mostly stationary; they can be rotated only in single corner and transforming tables. Important: the shelf should be located strictly opposite the seat and not move to the sides. Speaker positions are useful because these devices can take up a large proportion of the tabletop, and placing them on symmetrical stands not only frees up space for work, but also improves sound quality.

Multi-tiered superstructures can have a very different appearance and structure.; if you do not keep documentation, you should confine yourself to a disc holder and niches for small accessories, notebooks. It makes no sense to consider the cabinets separately from the shelves, there is no strict and clear line between them. Most often, cabinets are called shelving compartments, starting from the very base. Closed sashes are quite rare, glass or made of matte plastic are much more often used.

Pencil cases are sometimes used as replacements for cabinets, with which both straight and corner tables are equipped. When there is a high superstructure and a pencil case at the same time, the product becomes very capacious and outwardly elegant. Unfortunately, due to the high consumption of construction materials, the cost cannot be low. The choice of a computer desk with add-ons has many subtleties and nuances. But now, having understood them properly, you will definitely make the most correct and adequate decision.
