What is the best material for a straight desk work surface?

High-pressure laminate (HPL) over a particleboard or MDF core is the industry standard for commercial straight desks. HPL is durable, easy to clean, scratch-resistant, and available in hundreds of finishes. Wood veneer is more premium-looking but requires more care and is susceptible to moisture. Glass is sleek but shows fingerprints and lacks the impact resistance of laminate. OfficeFurniture2go.com primarily stocks HPL and veneer options — call 1-800-460-0858.
