What is a glass-top executive desk and is it a good choice?

Glass-top executive desks are an aesthetic choice with real practical trade-offs that we discuss candidly with clients at OfficeFurniture2go.com. The visual appeal — the sense of lightness, openness, and modern elegance — is genuine and appropriate for certain executive environments (design firm principals, contemporary corporate offices). However, the maintenance reality — constant fingerprint and dust visibility, glass-surface cleaning frequency — is something many clients don't fully anticipate. For executives who do significant daily document work at their desk, we consistently recommend quality laminate or wood veneer surfaces with a glass-top reserved for more ceremonial or minimally-used executive settings. Call 1-800-460-0858 for an honest assessment of glass vs. laminate for your specific use.
