Companies construct worksurfaces using a number of different materials, but plastic laminate is the most commonly used material and will be the less expensive option. The manufacturers offer a variety of colors and finishes. Systems furniture offers a healthy typing environment, which is the most critical aspect of designing a workstation for computer users. The key is to mount the worksurface at the appropriate height. You can purchase keyboard trays from the systems furniture manufacturer, or from other sources such as Boise Cascade.
Keyboards vary in styles and options, but they all are attached to the underside of the worksurface.
Systems furniture offers storage above, below or next to the worksurface. Open shelving and overhead bins offer convenient storage that is easily accessible without taking up valuable floor space. They can be mounted on the panel at varying heights. Pedestals consist of regular and file drawer units that are under the worksurface. When adding storage under a worksurface, keep in mind that there should be enough leg space so as not to constrict movement.
