The final model of reception desk we’ll discuss will be the grand table reception desk. The grand table style, is once again, how it sounds. This is a grand flat table of a desk. On this style, there are no cubbyholes, shelves, or different levels towards the desk. It’s a flat table. But, it’s typically a table in the grand style, meaning it has the intense carved legs as well as corners and front area. This style of desk, is easy, yet represents class all the way.
Self Assembled L shaped Computer Desk – Made by companies like Sauder, these desks are the ones you find in big box retail stores as well as major office supply retail outlets. These desks are fairly easy to assemble, but can be flimsy. They are often made from particle board, fiber board, or other wood product materials, rather than solid natural wood. They are very economical and fit well in most small corners. For a little extra (but less than $150), Techni Mobili has some very stylish alternatives.
Make a list of the major activities you do at your desk, and list the supplies that you need. Make sure that you have all of those supplies within your prime real estate.

If you will be working in an office, or if you will be meeting clients or customers while you are working at your desk, a hutch desk definitely will not do. In this situation, you want a desk that is closed in the front, so clients can not see your knees, and, ideally, your feet. L shaped desks are especially nice here because you can have a clear space on the top of your desk to focus on client paperwork, and another half of your desk for your keyboard or your other projects.
Fortunately, I managed to turn things around and transform Oscar the Grouch to a neat and responsible boy. I no longer have to tell my son, who is 12 years old by the way, to clean his room, or tidy up his Creativity In education (smftricks.com) (smftricks.com). As a matter of fact, I don’t remember the last time I saw trash scattered somewhere in his room.
More confusing than the standard office desk is to use a standard cubicle desk. If it’s at all in your budget, please try to avoid this. It simply yells unattractive.
Go through every thing, right down to each document that you keep in your desk. You may find expired or old papers you have no use for. These should be tossed out. Anything of importance can be put back in. Also, consider anything that should be placed in a fireproof box, such as car titles and deeds.
Lifespan Fitness is another company that makes a variety of treadmill desks to fit different needs and budgets. This company also sells a “standing desk bike” for pedaling in place at your standing desk. An interesting idea! This would work well for someone who prefers pedaling to walking and who already has a standing desk.
