What is a pier vs. a hutch?

A pier is a floor-standing storage tower (typically 18–24 in. wide x 20 in. deep x 65–72 in. tall) that sits alongside a desk rather than on top of it. A hutch sits directly on the desk surface, requiring the desk surface to bear the hutch's weight. Piers are used when the desk surface cannot support a hutch or when additional floor-level storage is needed. OfficeFurniture2go.com carries both piers and hutches — call 1-800-460-0858.
