subject: Glass Office Desks - Stylish Computer Desks [print this page] A glass computer desk is basically a regular computer desk, with glass components and glass desk tops. It is popular among style conscious users, as most glass computer desk structures make use of traditional to modern designs. Fancy models even have frosted surfaces and customized designs, giving the glass computer desk an edge among other classic and traditional styles. A glass computer desk may have similar components as other regular computer desks, depending on the style and make of the structure. The basic designs have typical glass desk tops with keyboard trays and additional compartments. Although way more fragile than other forms of computer desks, a glass computer desk is still sought after by modern designers and users for its sophisticated appearance and style.
A glass computer desk may also come in basic table top designs, L- and U- shapes, as well as mobile and corner styles. It is often supported by metal or steel frames for better stability. A wood framed glass computer desk on the other hand, is less common.
A metal office desk is a sturdier form of computer desk, perfect for rugged use. Metal desks are often designed for utilitarian use, such as computer carts and even corner units. Unlike a glass computer desk, metal office desks are not as fragile, and are perfect for rugged working environments as well as for youth rooms and quarters. Metals are often used for sturdy computer desk framing, although all-metal desks are also available.
Glass and metal materials are often used side by side, in order to achieve a more stylish design and sturdy structure for a computer desk. Metal, on the other hand, is a more stand alone and sturdy material.
