For two monitors, a desk around 1500–1800 mm wide is usually ideal. A 1500 mm desk suits most dual-monitor setups, while 1800 mm provides extra room for documents, accessories and other office equipment. Desk depth also matters, with 700–800 mm generally providing comfortable viewing distance.

A standard office desk is typically around 720–750 mm high. The correct ergonomic height allows your elbows to sit at roughly a 90-degree angle when typing, with your shoulders relaxed and feet supported. Because body heights vary, an adjustable chair or sit-stand desk can help achieve a better ergonomic position.

A commercial-grade straight desk is designed for regular workplace use and typically features a durable desktop, strong frame, stable construction and hard-wearing finishes. Commercial desks are generally built to withstand heavier daily use than lightweight residential furniture and may also include features such as cable management, adjustable feet and compatible office storage.

Most commercial office desktops are approximately 25 mm thick, which provides a good balance of strength, durability and appearance. Thinner tops may be suitable for lighter applications, while thicker desktops can provide additional rigidity for larger desks or heavier equipment.

Yes, many straight desks can be paired with a desk return to create an L-shaped workstation with additional work surface. Compatibility depends on the desk design, frame and available space, so it is important to choose a return designed to suit the specific desk range and configuration.
