What is a partner desk and how does it differ from a standard executive desk?

Partner desks are a historically significant and functionally distinctive product in the executive furniture category — and one we carry at OfficeFurniture2go.com for the law firms, medical partnerships, and family businesses where they remain appropriate. The defining characteristic is the bilateral symmetry: two complete sets of pedestals, two fully usable working surfaces separated by the desk body, designed for equal co-occupancy. This is a fundamentally different product from a standard executive desk with a visitor configuration. Partner desks require rooms of at least 14' × 16' to accommodate their footprint plus adequate circulation. For organizations reconsidering the partner desk due to space constraints, we offer configurations that replicate the collaborative positioning with smaller individual desks facing each other.
