Bookcase Hutches
I love bookcase hutches. I have never been without one on my desk. Since they go on the desk top, they don’t take up any extra floor space. I love that you don’t have to go anywhere to get the files you need. You can be on the phone with a client, accessing relevant folders and records quickly and seamlessly.
Whether it’s the right solution for your desk will depend your office layout. Usually, it’s used where one side of the desk (or return) is against a wall, and the hutch is place on that side of the desk. Occasionally, the hutch is used both as a storage solution and to create a partition between 2 desks or between the desk and the rest of the room.
Bookcase hutches are also great to go on top of a buffet credenza. You get extra shelving without taking up extra floor space.
Bookcase hutches are usually used against a wall. Occasionally are used as partition as well as storage (we can do a layout to suit your needs)
2. Mobile Pedestals
I prefer mobile pedestals to fixed pedestals. Is that jargon? I’ve been in this trade so long, I may be guilty of that. I mean I prefer mobile drawers – with 2 small personal drawers and 1 filing drawer to fixed drawers that are attached to the desk. Again, it takes up no extra floor space, as it goes under the desk. The mobile drawers have bigger storage capacity, and can be easily moved from desk to desk should staff move positions within the office. The filing drawer can be used for suspension files, or for larger personal items.
A mobile pedestal under your desk / workstation give lots of extra storage, yet takes up no extra floor space
3. Mobile Caddies as Returns
Mobile caddies create storage, can be used as returns & seats also! (with seat toppa)
This trend has emerged in more recent years. Mobile caddies are brilliant. They have multiple functions.
*They are a storage unit. There are different types, so you have various storage options to choose from (click here to see what I mean).
*They can be used as a desk return, so they give you extra desk top area.
**It can be used as a seat for visitors! Just order with Seat Toppa. Amazing!
4. Compactus / Maxtor / Rolafile / Aislesaver
Takes up less space than bookcases
These have been around for decades. Everyone used to call them a Compactus. Now every brand has invented their own name, so no one knows what to call it anymore. Anyway, these rolling shelf unit things take up less space than bookcases, as only one movable aisle is needed . There are different options here, so contact us for guidance and pricing.
5. Compactfile 80
Incredible Space Saver
These round shelving units are super clever. They take up relatively little space, yet save up to 70% floor space. They increase storage capacity up to 100%. They rotate, and files can be accessed from all sides. Tip: Please remember to register and sign in to see pricing.
