Shallow 35 cm deep office desks

Measure the width and the depth of the floor space where you'd like to place an office desk. The most accurate way is to use a measuring tape. Hold the start down at the edge of the area, and let it run to the other edge. Make sure the tape is parallel to the side of the space, as otherwise you would overestimate the available space. If the distance is larger than what you can stretch to, ask a friend to help, or split what you need to measure into multiple parts. This can be done by either holding the tape down partway through and continuing running it while letting the first end go, or by marking how far you measured on the floor or wall, and reposition the tape to complete the measurement. If you would not like to draw on the floor, try putting down a pointy object like a pencil there. You should avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't go like pipes. Also it may be necessary to take the height of the space and the item into account wherever the ceiling is low like in loft rooms.

Many tales could be told by these desks of use, then of abandonment, and of final resuscitation. Here is one said to be true, but the ending is not as it should be. For many years Mr. Samuel Tilden had, in his office in Nassau Street, a fine old walnut desk with innumerable pigeon-holes and some secret drawers of which he never would confide the wbereabouts, nor would he tell if he hunted in spare moments for others. There was nothing remarkable about the desk, except that it was a good one, and that it was adding to its years of service by growing still older under the con stant use of a famous man. After Mr. Tilden's death the desk, with some other pieces of his office furniture, was put in the loft of the office building and forgotten. As time went by the room in the loft was demanded, and the furniture was put in the cellar. Moving about and lack of care had not improved the looks of the desk, and though it was still staunch and strong it did not seem to be of much value, for now the roll-top desks had come to the front. One day even the room in the cellar was needed for vaults, and the furniture in the cellar, of which the desk was a part, had to be disposed of.

The janitor not knowing just what to do in the matter at last had the poor old desk broken up and fed to the furnace, watching its destruction as the old walnut flamed high in the furnace. Years passed by, and the time came when old-fashioned things and the relics of famous men were much in demand. Still another year went past, when one day a note arrived from the former private secretary of Mr. Tilden, aaIio wrote in behalf of the family that they were anxious to secure the old walnut high-topped desk which had been used so many years by Mr. Tilden in his office. Would the janitor, so the letter ran, kindly get out the desk and ship it to them, after having it carefully crated? The family would of course pay all expenses.

Questions and answers

How much space must I leave behind an office desk?

Placing an office desk needs a larger area than just the size of the item itself, as you will also need approx. 50-76 cm behind the chair. Keeping this area free means that you can push the chair back to stand up, or turn around to a cabinet or bookshelf behind you. Together with the chair, this means keeping a space 100 cm deep free behind an office desk. In other words, 35 cm deep office desks would require a 135 cm deep floor space in total. The area behind the chair doesn't need to be dead space, as it can also be used as the space you need to access a dresser, filing cabinet, or a bookshelf.
