Computer desk with add-in

Computer is an indispensable attribute of modern life. People of different ages, professions, interests and attitudes will certainly find how to entertain themselves or how to work while sitting at the monitor. It is important that the process is fun and convenient. To the aid comes specialized furniture that can create a comfortable environment for a person at the computer. The most successful in this regard will be a computer desk with add-ins.

Kinds

The superstructure is an additional piece of furniture, which is presented in the form of an open shelf, cabinet, bedside tables, but is not a separate unit, but rather is provided for by the structure. Table with add-ons very convenient for both schoolchildren and for the user of more advanced age. Add-ins are able to accommodate all the necessary attributes, and in some cases it may even remain a place for items that do not belong to the main occupation.

We give the characteristics of the following tables.

Student table

The student desk must include a written area. In general, experts recommend separating the written and computer workspace. Children of school age are very easily distracted from their lessons, and when such a “neighbor” is near, switching attention is simply inevitable. To prevent this, you need correctly plan a room and use add-ons to divide zones.

Thus, two small worktops will be separated by a pencil case or open shelves, or the table will have one sufficiently long tabletop so that the activity does not affect one another. The design may have a built-in character, thereby acquiring a complete look.

In a small space, two countertops can take up too much space and clutter up a room. In this case, the tabletop should be at least 1.5 meters to leave room for a computer monitor and keyboard, and the student can freely decompose notebooks and textbooks.

Desks with drawers and with lockers

An indispensable attribute of the interior of the children's room, because all the books, notebooks, pencils, albums,paint and secret records will be safely hidden from prying eyes, and the appearance of the room will be neat and cozy.

Corner table

Another way to save space and get a large tabletop is to choose a corner table. Options for the execution of the corner tables for the computer and the letter at the same time very much. The monitor is usually placed in a corner, and the straight part is intended for reading and writing. The upper superstructures occupy the writing zone, and the lower cabinets and cabinets can be located on both sides.

Tables with lower superstructures

A lightweight version are written and computer tables only with the lower superstructures. This option is more consistent with the classic performance, and are suitable for work more solid and age users.

The advantage of such a table is the opportunity to place it in the center of the room, as we used to see in the director's office.

The table top can be either straight or angular, but there is a particularly convenient option when the work area is shaped in the shape of the letter “P”, then the work is in full swing.

Small table

For mobile young people who have already learned, it is preferable to have a small table that will be designed only for a monitor with a keyboard and mouse or for a laptop.The minimum set of add-ons for such furniture: an open top shelf, in the form of an extension on a computer desk, cells for disks, a sliding table top under the keyboard. But the table, for example, with a mobile pedestal will allow you to organize space for storing paper, DVDs, wires and other things.

Tips for choosing

Before you think about buying a computer desk with add-ons, decide who will use this table. Each person has his own set of requirements for such furniture, due to the type of activity.

Once the user is determined, you should calculate the approximate size of the table top. Remember that a student or a person who, in addition to working at the computer itself, has to read printed books at the table or write something, you just need to take care of good lighting. A table lamp occupies a certain place, but a lamp on a clothespin can fit on a shelf of a superstructure, without occupying space. It is important to provide access to natural light.

Make sure that partitions and vertical racks do not block the light from the window, best of all,so that its direction was from left to right.

To save space, select options with add-ons that will be above or below the table top. Variants with a pencil case and high racks from the floor are more bulky, they assume more space for storage. A good option would be a corner table. Such a table can be either symmetrical or have one side of the tabletop longer than the other.

In the second case, try not to make a mistake, clearly imagine, along which wall the future furniture will stand. Unfortunately, this option is very “one-sided”, if you like to make frequent changes, the corner table with an asymmetrical table top will “stand your ground”.

Computer desks with top add-ons can only be located along the wall, while desks with lower cabinets and lockers can be conveniently placed by the window.

Combined version - tabletop full-length windowsill, with racks around the window. This option in the interior looks very stylish and exclusive, suitable for both the office and the children's room.

The variety of models, materials, colors will allow you to choose the necessary furniture, taking into account the interior features of your home.

Size and shape

Large selection of different models will make you think about which table is right for you. First of all, evaluate the basic parameters of the product. The ideal workplace means a comfortable stay for a long time. For a child and an adult, the basics are the same, but because of their different physical build, the practical implementation is different. So the basics:

  1. Height. Sit down at the table. Adjust the height of the seat so that the legs at the knees form 90 degrees, while the foot is fully rested against the floor. The table top in this case should be exactly in the solar plexus area. If so, then this indicator is perfect.
  2. The length of the table top. In the same position, place your hands as if you are writing something, the hand should not hang down. Thus, the minimum size of the writing area for a child is 60 cm, for an adult it is 80 cm. Wider countertops are preferable, since they allow you to place the necessary equipment.
  3. Width. For comfortable work at the computer without much harm to the eyes, the monitor should be located at least 70 cm away. Too narrow table top can cause problems with the back of a child.

Most often the table has a rectangular shape.This form fits well with any interior and is convenient to use. Corner tables with add-ons are also popular, they offer more space for work and study, they contain all the necessary office equipment (printer, scanner, speakers), they have a dedicated place for the system unit.

The table with the letter "P" is suitable for the director's office, meeting room or a hall for presentations.

Transforming tables have become an interesting solution. with folding or sliding table top. A shallow box with shelves and small cabinets is hung at the required height on the wall with the help of special fasteners. At the right moment, the tabletop is simply extended and used for its intended purpose. The rest of the time - it's just a wall module, which has a place to store and to accommodate the decor.

There are also folding tables, tables with a double secret drawer in the tabletop, where you can remove the laptop. For lovers of minimalism, there are lightweight options that do not have deaf cabinets and cabinets, and the design resembles a step ladder, which has shelves and a tabletop for a monitor and a letter instead of steps.

Another “light” option is to use shelving as a superstructure, and a more fundamental and durable one is built-in furniture.

Colors

Color variations in the modern furniture industry weight. Highly valued furniture, color close to natural. therefore All shades of wood and wood imitation are always relevant.

For fans of something "sharp" manufacturers are ready to offer tables of bright colors: yellow, red, green, blue, blue. Such motley furniture can quickly get bored, but the version in which the white color harmoniously combines with one of the rich colors will look stylish and trendy. For example, all superstructures are made of white, and the tabletop is bright yellow.

In combination with the appropriate decor on the open shelves, the table will attract attention, and it will be pleasant to work with it.

However, you should not do such design experiments with the student's table. A bright tabletop will distract from the classes, dispel attention.

More restrained, but not less Fashionable combination - glossy white surface and glossy finishimitating wood pattern.Already the classic wenge and bleached oak continue to occupy the leading positions of the charts of furniture colors. The combination of both these shades in one product also looks very elegant and harmonious.

Metallic gray is very modernizing, gives lightness to the product and fits perfectly into the interior in a loft style.

Materials

In the manufacture of computer tables with add-ins the following types of materials are used:

  • Solid wood. Products from natural raw materials are always attractive, because they look solid, are extremely neat, beautiful, have a beautiful edge line, serve for a long time and are completely environmentally friendly. Of course, such a table will cost more than those made from artificial materials, but there are options that are able to surprise you.
  • The most valuable products are made from mahogany. Mahogany, it is also mahogany, is forbidden for cutting down almost all over the world, however, some countries of Indonesia, by virtue of traditional features, still continue to make furniture from such a rare material. This table will be equipped with drawers and side tables.A noble look, special style and refinement will be appropriate in the home office of a person of solid age and high income.
  • More affordable option - solid oak. Products from this material are fundamental, have a pronounced woody structure, a characteristic golden color.
  • If the desire to purchase a table from an array prevails and the budget is limited, consider the option of a table with add-ins. from pine. It is light, thin, elegant, and, most importantly, created from environmentally friendly raw materials.
  • Furniture objects are very popular, made of MDF. This material is made of wood dust, which is formed into plates using special glue. Such raw materials differ in wear resistance and strength. One of the main advantages of MDF is the ability to make products of any color and texture. An eco-layer, which is applied on top as a decorative coating, can have a relief that repeats the wood pattern, it can be smooth, glossy and have absolutely any color.
  • The cheapest and most primitive option - Chipboard. It is made by hot pressing wood chips.This material is prone to opening, does not tolerate high humidity, deforms and loses an attractive appearance. Above it is decorated with a special film that helps protect it from water, but the detachment of the film over time is inevitable.
  • Is possible veneer, paper, laminate claddingbut it does not affect the general properties. The main disadvantage of such raw materials is the use during the production of resins that are unsafe for humans, which release harmful formaldehydes to health.
  • Glass Tables are beginning to gain popularity. Fully glass worktops and superstructures gracefully hold thin metal struts. This table literally dissolves in the interior. You can choose any color of glass. Very popular darkened, frosted, completely transparent, white, glass, material of the color of bronze. The variety of forms of glass tables is shocking: rectangular, angular, with oval edges and even arbitrary shapes.
  • Due to the popularization of loft-style, manufacturers tend to conquer the market segment in this direction. Metal tables in combination with a wooden tabletop now occur quite often.Such an industrial-type construction is unusually combined with household objects such as flowers, textile decorations (pillows, carpets), personal photographs, and books. A metal ensemble consisting of a table and several shelves is an excellent variant of a computer table with add-ons in the loft style.
