Office Cubicles

The world of office furniture is vast and ever growing. The pace is so speedy it sometimes feels like you can barely keep your head above water. One can attribute all the movement is due to the constant evolution of an evolving business climate. And with strong staples like office cubicles, to new and cutting edge products like benching desks, to a happy balance between the two with partition desks, there is never a dull moment when it comes to outfitting your work environment.

When you envision a traditional office space, there is one piece of furniture that always comes to mind, a cubicle. Growing in popularity from what feels like decades ago, cubicles have been a long time safe and reliable alternative to office spaces that do not cater to individualized, private offices. Cubicles come in many different sizes and styles. The one characteristic of cubicles that holds true are the high partition walls that provides their occupants privacy and distance from sound and visual distractions. Another benefit to cubicles is that they often come with some sort of storage like drawers, cabinets, and/or filing cabinets.

Similar in appearance to cubicles are partition desks. However, the convenience of partition desks are that they act as a middle ground between a full cubicle setup and a solo traditional office desk. Like cubicles, partition desks come in lots of variations in size and style depending on what is needed for the office environment. Partition desks also offer employees quiet and privacy when working, with their sturdy and agreeable-in-height partition walls. On the flip side, a key difference between cubicles and partition desks is, partition desks do not take up as much space as cubicles do in the office space, making this product more popular for smaller businesses.

A fast growing product type that holds its own are benching desks. Benching desks are commonly found in open office floor plan spaces. Unique in appearance, benching desks come in packs to seat multiple employees at essentially one connected desk area, often a row or shape like a circle. In addition to their one-of-a-kind look, benching desks really promote collaboration among deskmates, having only a desk privacy panel at minimum to divide each section of the desk. Some benching desks come with a storage space like open drawers and/or shelves.
