Where should cable management grommets be positioned on a straight desk?

Grommet placement on a straight desk matters for practical cable routing. The most useful position is toward the rear corners or back center of the desk surface — cables from monitors, docking stations, and peripherals run from devices at the back of the desk, through the grommet, and down to power strips below. Some desks offer two grommets — one on each end near the back corners — which is ideal for dual-monitor setups with separate cable runs on each side. A single center-back grommet works fine for most setups. Front-of-desk grommets (near the user) make sense for frequently connected devices like laptops or charging cables. Check grommet diameter (minimum 2 inches is practical) to ensure USB hubs, surge protectors, and thick cables fit through. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
