Furniture & storage

A place to sit. A place to put things.

Desks, chairs and storage that fit their contents as well as the room.

Freestanding shelves that can move with the office

Choose storage that can be relocated without assuming that freestanding means it can remain unanchored.

Check the monitor's base, viewing position and mounting options before pairing it with a small desktop.

Look for clear disassembly instructions and replaceable fittings before treating flat-pack furniture as repeatedly portable.

Compare the finish with the work, spills and wear it will actually encounter.

A grommet is useful only when cables can reach it, pass through it and continue along a safe route.

The desk needs an unobstructed moving space, not merely enough floor area for its feet.

Look past surface scratches and ask whether the structure can survive another move.

A second chair should support the conversation without closing the route through the room.

Low dividers and a few measured compartments usually beat a collection of tiny boxes.

Shared storage needs a few visible agreements, especially when people's work looks similar.

The furniture's final dimensions are only part of getting it into the room.
