What are Bench Desk Systems?
They are simply desk systems whose characteristics and appearance resemble that of a bench. They connect what would be two or more free-standing desks to create longer runs of desks, employing the same frame and centre legs as supports for more than one desk. Employees then sit on both sides of the bench, while still enjoying their own space. These desks have the ability to transform an office from a static and routine environment to a more dynamic, lively, and productive atmosphere.
It's a contemporary style of desk with a more modern look and features some unique attributes. You can place office workbenches in practically any organisational scenario, especially in environments with larger open-plan spaces or in call centres. They provide a functional, flexible, and versatile workspace suitable for the modern office, all while sporting clean lines and clutter-free spaces. These office desks can also merge seamlessly with other office furniture, particularly desking systems from the reception right through to the executive board room.
To help you make the right choice in bench desks, consider the following:
Colour: Colour is of key importance as it's partly how your office furniture represents your brand. White desks are very popular as they tend to reflect a clean, functional, and fresh office feel. If white is not your preference, most office bench ranges on the market come in a variety of frame, leg and top colours.
The positioning of the desks: This greatly affects the amount of space utilised. For instance, 4-person back-to-back desk units require six legs, instead of eight, per set of desks, making them a more practical and cost-effective option.
Central cable access: This helps to protect the cables and keep the space tidy.
Screen dividers: This gives more flexibility, especially to those who are unsure about having a completely open plan setup. Bench desk dividers can be added over time, allowing employees to get used to the idea.
Storage: While the main function of a desk is to provide a place to sit and a tabletop surface to work, it's also meant to provide storage. The amount of storage for your office work benches will depend on employees' storage needs.
Available space: The truth is most modern offices have limited space. That's why many have opted for benching as they're designed to save space. Knowing how much space you have to fit your bench-style office desks into will dismiss some options right away, offering a more manageable selection to choose from.
Benefits of Using Office Desk Benching
Space Efficiency
Whether for one person or more, bench-style office desks are designed to save space. They are available in several different sizes and can easily be placed under a window, up against a wall, or even placed in rows. This utilises as minimal office space as possible, while still providing more privacy than the standard desk open-design layouts.
Encourages Collaboration and Communication
Having several employees sit on a long bench desk with no visual and spatial obstacles encourages communication. This desk system is much preferred in offices where teamwork is necessary as it brings employees together in an inclusive way. It allows them to share ideas, help each other with projects, and boost morale, all of which increases productivity. Also, by allowing junior and senior staff to work together, this bench system can be used to cut across the hierarchy and help engage staff members across the office.
Suits a Wide Range of Modern Technology
Each bench workstation may be smaller than the traditional curved or L-shaped desks, but the system can still accommodate all types of technology, including laptops, tablets, and desktop computers. Modern desktops are much more streamlined and don't occupy much space.
Encourages the Hot-Desking Idea
More and more workplaces are promoting the hot-desking concept, which is when no employee is allocated a specific desk. Everyone gets to sit where they fancy on a particular day or they are allocated workspaces based on their duties on a given day. This can facilitate much-needed communication among employees.
Adaptable to Changing Business Needs
With bench desking systems, you can arrange desks in several different shapes and plans. You can move desks, add to, or remove them from the existing work bench, depending on your office needs. The flexibility that this desk system provides allows businesses to quickly respond to future office design and staffing needs.
Cost Effective
Their ability to join together and share components like dividing screens, frames, and legs, brings manufacturing costs down. This often makes them more affordable than the average desk. Due to the flexibility aspect, office benches are much more likely to last longer. Also, with desks sitting close to each other, they can share common resources like power cables, helping to further reduce costs.
