Office desks for a team are a fit-out decision as much as a furniture one. Frame type, desk size and how desks join together affect how many people fit in a room, how cables are run and how easy it is to change the layout later.

BS EN 527-1:2011 is the current British standard for the dimensions of office work tables and desks. BSI notes it does not cover storage units, other office tables or reception desks.
The DSE Regulations Schedule requires a work desk with a sufficiently large, low-reflectance surface that allows a flexible arrangement of the screen, keyboard, documents and other equipment, with enough space for the user to find a comfortable position.
HSE guidance on the Workplace Regulations sets a minimum of 11 cubic metres of space per person, based on the empty room's volume divided by the number of people who normally work there. HSE adds that this may not be enough if much of the room is taken up by furniture.
Bench desks fit more people into a room. Listings marked as extension kits are add-on units meant to join an existing bench, so make sure you order the starter desks as well.
Ask the supplier about delivery to the floor, assembly, lead times and whether they take away packaging. Matching finishes across two orders can be hard, so buy a few spare desks of the same range if you expect to grow.
On our shortlist, the Office RH Corner Desk Steel Single Cantilever 1600X1200 Grey Oak/White is the best overall pick at £253.18 from UK Office Direct Limited. For a tighter budget, the Office Rectangular Desk Steel Double Cantilever 1400X600 White/White (£194.06) is our best-value choice.
Most of the 2,410 UK listings we screened sit between £225 and £471, with a middle price of £343. Trade suppliers often show prices before VAT, so add 20% if you can't reclaim it.
A VAT-registered business can usually reclaim the VAT on equipment bought for business use, as long as it holds a valid VAT invoice from the supplier. Ask the seller for one at checkout.
The picks here come from UK Office Direct Limited. Most UK trade suppliers offer next-day delivery and VAT invoices; some offer credit accounts for regular orders.
BS EN 527-1 is the British and European standard for the dimensions of office work tables and desks, covering seated, sit-stand and standing work. It does not cover storage units or reception desks.
HSE sets a minimum of 11 cubic metres per person for the room as a whole, and says this may be too little if furniture fills much of it. Plan desk size, walkways and storage together.
A bench is a run of desks that share a frame, often back to back. Extension kits add extra positions to a starter bench, so you need at least one starter unit.
The DSE Regulations require a low-reflectance work surface, so a matt finish is a safer choice than a high-gloss one.
