Benching and cubicles are both exceptional options for maximizing the use of space in an office. Cubicles are individual seating areas with a dedicated desk surrounded on one or more sides with partitions. These partitions can create a compartment or an office, or they may be lower on one or more sides for a more open area. Cubicles can also be of various shapes and sizes, which provides significant flexibility in effectively using any office space.
Benching includes a shared work area, such as a large table. The large table can be divided into different work areas through the use of different heights of permanent or optional dividers. In a small office, benching can be used to create individual work areas using the same large table. For collaborative or team projects, the partitions can be moved, allowing for a large central area for multiple people to work together.
