FAQ

1. What are the main differences between desk series or collections?
Different desk series typically vary in style, material thickness, edge treatment, storage options, and how pieces connect. Some lines are designed for simple home or small office use, while others are built for heavier commercial traffic and easier expansion. You can compare finish options, available matching pieces, and connection methods in the description and feature list for each desk.

2. How do I choose the right desk size for my office space?
Measure your room and leave clear walking paths, chair clearance, and space for drawers or doors to open comfortably. As a guide, allow room for your primary work tools such as monitor, keyboard, paperwork, and any printer or reference items you keep on the surface every day. Compare the listed desk dimensions to your available floor space and sketch the layout before ordering.

3. How stable is the desk under heavy daily use?
Stability depends on factors like frame design, leg construction, connection hardware, and overall size. Desks built for commercial use usually have more rigid frames and stronger fasteners than simple home desks. For the most accurate sense of stability, check mentions of commercial ratings, construction details, and customer reviews on the specific product page.

4. What is the maximum weight capacity for the work surface?
Weight capacity is set by the frame, hardware, and thickness of the top and can vary widely between collections. Heavier duty office desks are usually designed to hold more equipment than light home office styles. Exact weight limits, when provided by the manufacturer, are shown in the product specifications on each desk page.

5. Does the desk require assembly, and what tools are needed?
Most office desks require some assembly, such as attaching legs, modesty panels, or storage components. Many kits include the basic hardware and may only need simple hand tools like a screwdriver. The product description will note the assembly level and list any additional tools recommended for that specific model.

6. Can these office desks be combined with returns or credenzas from other lines?
Office desks generally pair best with returns and credenzas from the same series, since connection points, heights, and finishes are designed to match. Mixing lines can work for standalone pieces, but attachments that physically connect usually need compatible hardware and dimensions. Always compare measurements, height, and connection style on each product page before combining different collections.

7. Are cable management grommets or channels compatible with add-on accessories?
Most standard round grommets accept common cable covers, power grommets, and basic wire pass-throughs, while larger rectangular ports can work with more complex power units. Compatibility depends on the cutout size and location, as well as how the accessory mounts. Check the listed grommet shape and size on the desk page and compare it to the requirements of any add-on you plan to use.

8. What delivery method is used, and how are large desks shipped?
Office desks are typically shipped boxed and flat packed to protect the surfaces and hardware during transit. Smaller desks may ship by standard parcel carriers, while larger or heavier desks usually ship on a pallet with a freight carrier. The checkout or shipping section for each item will indicate the shipping method and any special delivery notes for that desk.
