Cubicle Furniture Features and Design

Whether your goal is to create a modern, trendy aesthetic through luxury components or just provide a standard workstation to be shared by mobile employees, every cubicle is made up of the same basic components listed here.

Power and data connections

No matter what type of walls you choose, you'll almost always need electric power hookups and data network connections for every cubicle. "Base feed" style has power coming from a wall outlet, whereas "top feed" style featured wires coming down from the ceiling.

If your cubicles are next to walls or existing overhead sources of power, you may be able to save money just by adding wall outlets or utility poles - non-structural columns created to hide wiring.

Storage and additional add-on components

A wide variety of storage options are available for cubicles, including file cabinet drawers, pedestals with wheels, shelving or cabinets built into the wall and lockable, free-standing bookshelves.

Other current tools for organization include:

• Wire managers that keep cords in place and  untangled
• Built-in task lighting beneath shelves or storage cabinets
• Marker boards, whiteboards or tack boards
• Windows to break up feeling of confinement
• Coat hanger bars or hooks

Some cubicle systems go even further by offering sit-stand work surfaces that can be raised or lowered. These are all options we can discus with you when you request a quote.

Modern ergonomic design

The look, design and style of the cubicle systems you select will play a major role in the attitudes of the employees who use them. Factors such as collaboration and productivity of the modern workforce have shown to be dramatically impacted by the look and feel of an employee's workspace.

Possibly the most significant directional change in systems furniture design is the shift toward more ergonomic support. This may include extendable arms and monitor stands that help workers customize the height of their screen for optimal visibility.

In making the workplace healthier, more productive and more enjoyable, ergonomic design additions also include:

• stands for iPads and laptops
• ergonomic mouse pads and keyboard wrist rests
• specialty comfort keyboards, keypads, and mice
• customized document holders
• anti-glare or privacy filters for monitors
