Now more than ever, we spend longer hours seated in front of a computer screen. And, since we are in this position most hours of our day, a computer table must be an ergonomic fit. This might necessitate added features, more than just being a plain tabletop. Read through our list below to help you decide which features of a computer table to look for.
Identify what you will use the table for, in conjunction with your PC. Rarely will you use the computer alone, especially for work. This will help you know your needs and come up with solid answers for the considerations you'll make after reading this buying guide.
You might be a writer or researcher and you need space to annotate books as well as shelves to stack them. You might be an artist and need more space to draft and draw. Maybe you're a gamer or streamer and need space for other devices such as mics, cameras, and more monitors.
If you only use a computer and nothing more, a small table would do. Make sure your pick can accommodate all your essential PC paraphernalia without having to cram everything into a tight space. It would be important to consider, too, if you'll be using a laptop or a desktop.
For a laptop, a small desk with a 60 cm background or width would do. For desktops, it is preferable that you have about a 75cm background to allot for the bigger, separate components.
We suggest getting a slightly larger desk than you need so you have more freedom to arrange and design your desk. Plus, you might need the extra space for writing, placing other gadgets, or reading. Rectangular tables tend to be the best choice. But, with this being said, always consider the room or floor space you have.
An organized table allows you to be efficient because you'd know where to find what you need. This creates a better atmosphere for work and a more comfortable atmosphere for play and rest.
Since it is a computer table, the desktop or laptop must and will take up a good amount of space on the main tabletop. So, our advice is to look for one that allows you to organize books, mount your speakers, place your printer, or pile your paperwork on its added drawers and shelves.
These features don't only make for a neater looking computer table. They will also allow you to create a system in your work or play station that will make your tasks flow smoother.
Preferably, your table should have a monitor stand. This will place the computer monitor at an ergonomic height wherein there is little to no stress on your neck and upper back musculature. An adjustable table is also recommended because it will help create a level surface and add or subtract inches to the height, depending on how tall you are.
We spend a huge amount of time looking at and typing away on our computers. Therefore, we must not only make it comfortable but also healthy. An ergonomic computer table will allow you to toil for your dreams while keeping you away from the detrimental effects of posture dysfunction.
Starting off with the frame, you can never go wrong with metal frames. They do not need to be thick to be sturdy, plus they are very durable. The less space-consuming the frame is, the more floor and leg space it gives you.
The battle of materials is on the tabletops. Most manufacturers use fiberboard for this. They are lightweight and are fairly durable. Then, they are sandwiched between plastic sheets for waterproofing and to make them more durable. These types are called laminates and are the most common.
A metal tabletop can be a durable option, but they are heavier and more expensive. Wood tabletops are great for aesthetically conscious people. They are also on the heavier side. If you opt for wood ones, choose a varnished finish.
Your table's two main shapes would be the conventional rectangle table and then the corner L-shaped table. Regardless of which shape you opt for, make sure you maximize the floor area you have. Also, you don't want it to ruin the room's functionality by obstructing the foot traffic and blocking windows and outlets.
The rectangle table is basically a place-it-anywhere piece as it won't take up much space. They are the better choice for a really small room. You can put them in a corner, in the middle of a big room, and even beside your bed. They are the most versatile type.
An L-shaped table is best for maximizing an open corner in a room. While the default idea would be to let the L-shaped table follow the corner, you can also choose to create your own little office by creating your own square workspace.
