AUXILIARY OFFICE FURNITURE. THE MAGNIFICENT 7

Auxiliary office furniture is a basic piece of furniture for a correct distribution of space. It is clear that desks and chairs are essential accessories in an office or work centre. However, there are a series of accessory pieces that can complete the distribution of spaces and the installation of equipment and material.

At DESMON we are experts in office furniture and we have a wide range of auxiliary furniture. Our experience has allowed us to identify a series of elements that can be very useful.

Certainly, the activity in a workplace is very diverse and it is not just a question of having a computer, desk and chair. You also need printers, scanners, tablets or storage space for documents, files or forms. And you need furniture to put them in.

In this article we would like to talk to you about the 7 essential office auxiliary pieces of furniture in any company or corporation. Take note of the proposal.

Auxiliary office furniture is a small or medium-sized piece of furniture that adds functionality to the premises. It is true that they tend to go unnoticed but, when they are not available, they are missed. It is hard to imagine an office without space to place support material. These are the 7 most useful auxiliary office furniture.

1. CABINETS

Cupboards are an essential storage area in any workplace. It makes no difference whether it is a company dedicated to administrative or manual work. Cupboards are always necessary.

Built-in cupboards are a good option. Their design makes it easier to optimise space by making the most of nooks and crannies. In principle, it seems to be an option for homes, but more and more offices are opting for these storage models.

On the market there are models made of wood or metal. The opening system can be with hinged, sliding or roller shutter doors. Another option is to opt for glass doors but, in this case, it is always advisable to maintain a certain amount of order inside.

Finally, it is interesting that the shelves can be adjusted in height.

2. SHELVING

Shelving is a basic part of any warehouse. At Desmon we always advise you to choose the model according to the weight and type of load to be stored. There are models made of wood, MDF, chipboard or metal.

Regardless of the material, it is always advisable that the shelves can be adjusted in height. And these variations should be easy to make without having to use tools. Ideally, the shelf can be lifted with a simple hand movement and adjusted to a different height. A simple assembly system makes installation much easier.

3. DRAWER CABINETS

When choosing a model of drawer unit, it is advisable to analyse the amount of documentation to be stored. Once this question is clear, you can choose one with a different number of drawers. In addition, in many cases the bottom drawer can be of a suitable size for hanging folders with a viewer.

On the other hand, it is possible to choose models that incorporate a lock to keep documents safe.

Finally, it is always a good idea to get drawer units with wheels. That way they can be easily moved and placed under the table or next to the cupboards.

4. FOLDERS

File cabinets are very useful for storing plates, photographs, drawings, illustrations or engravings. They are usually structures with a large number of drawers of low height. There are metal models that include plastic or polystyrene trays.

If they are not fitted with wheels, they can be stacked one on top of the other because they can support a lot of weight. In the case of single units, it is always a good idea to include wheels.

Professional photographers often use them to store negatives or slides. The height of the drawers is adjusted to the size of these holders.

5. LOCKERS

Lockers are essential in workplaces where there is a lot of physical activity. Operators use them to store personal items such as rucksacks, clothing or safety equipment.

Most models are fitted with padlock or combination locks. In addition, they are usually made of phenolic material. This means that they are highly resistant to impacts, knocks and high humidity. They may also include a ventilation grille and a wide variety of colours are available.

6. TROLLEYS

Trolleys are auxiliary pieces of furniture used to transport different parts or documentation. They are usually made of steel and have wheels. Depending on the type of flooring, you can choose industrial castors or soft rubber models that do not scratch the parquet. In addition, most of the time they incorporate brakes to ensure a stable stop of the piece.

Handles are usually included to make it easy to move them around. The shelves can be adjustable and in tray or basket format.

7. COMPUTER STATIONS

The last of the auxiliary furniture is the computer station. It is a structure designed for the regular consultation of data on a computer. It includes a height-adjustable support for the monitor, a stable table for the keyboard and mouse and a shelf at the bottom.

Without a doubt, it is designed to work sitting or standing and can be fitted with wheels to move it around the office, warehouse or warehouse. It is an accessory that bears some resemblance to a lift-up office desk.

It is clear that depending on the activity carried out, there will be auxiliary furniture more suitable than others. However, what is clear is that they are very useful and versatile pieces.
