Other factors such as the space height, flooring, and ceiling material also affect conversational privacy. Types of Worksurfaces Worksurfaces are constructed using a number of different materials, including plastic and wood laminates. Generally, plastic laminate will be the less expensive option. Storage Options Companies can choose to offer storage above, below or next to the worksurface. These either hang from the panel wall or are placed on top of a worksurface.
Pedestals consist of regular and file drawer units that are placed under the worksurface.
To increase mobility, pedestals can be purchased as wheeled units. When adding storage under a worksurface, keep in mind that there should be enough leg space so as not to constrict movement. Lateral files, bookshelves and credenzas can provide additional storage for a workstation. These can be useful for workers who require a lot of easily accessible filing space.
