Standard Desk
Overview
A standard desk is the everyday rectangular workstation, with enough top for a monitor, keyboard, and notes without dominating the room. It is the versatile default for most home offices. It shines against a wall in an office, bedroom, or study.
Sizing & placement
It is 48 inches wide and 24 inches deep at a standard 30-inch height, a comfortable middle-ground footprint. Plan the 24-inch front clearance it specifies so the chair can roll back and you can stand up.
Where it works
Home offices, bedrooms, and studies; modern, transitional, and contemporary styles.
