What is the difference between a mobile and a fixed desk pedestal?

A fixed pedestal is built into the desk frame — it is a structural component with no casters, typically attached to the underframe and not removable without disassembling the desk. A mobile pedestal is freestanding on casters and can be repositioned independently. Mobile pedestals offer more flexibility for reconfigurable offices. Fixed pedestals provide more stability and a cleaner appearance. Many commercial desks offer both attached and freestanding pedestal options.
