Straight Desks — Expert Answer

What straight desk setup works best for a college professor or university faculty office?

Faculty offices typically combine administrative work (email, grading, course prep) with scholarly work (research, writing, reference use) in a limited space. A 66-inch straight desk with a hutch above provides ample surface and storage for the typical faculty member's needs. A separate bookcase for research materials is often as important as the desk itself. A second monitor helps for toggling between source materials and writing. A comfortable guest chair on the student side of the desk supports office hours. Desk positioning should allow the faculty member to see the door — important in an office hours context. For smaller faculty offices, a 60-inch desk with a wall-mounted shelf unit above is a space-efficient solution. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
