How do I measure my office for a new desk?

Start by measuring the longest two wall dimensions with a steel tape. Note all interruptions — doors, windows, HVAC registers, and electrical outlets. Record measurements in both directions to identify your usable floor zone. Subtract 36" on each open side for chair pull-out clearance and aisle passage. The remaining rectangle is your maximum desk footprint. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we ask every customer for a simple sketch with four wall dimensions before recommending a desk size — it prevents the most common ordering errors. Call us at 1-800-460-0858 and we will walk you through it.
