Computer workstations have become so ingrained in the business world, it’s hard to imagine an office without them. And because we all spend so much time at our computer workstation, it’s important to create a space that is comfortable, aesthetically pleasing and ergonomic. With the variety of desktop workstation styles and computer workstation vendors, this can easily be achieved, if you do your homework.

Before purchasing business computer workstations for your company, keep the following in mind:
  1. Understand the needs of your employees to ensure you buy computer workstation furniture that will help employees be productive and comfortable.
  2. Learn about the benefits of an ergonomic computer workstation.
  3. Determine a budget. You don't need to break the bank to get the computer workstations you need for your business.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Search for a computer workstation online


The Internet is a great resource to explore the wide variety of computer workstation furniture available. Whether you need a basic PC workstation or an office full of custom computer workstations, chances are you'll find what you need online.

I recommend: Hertz Furniture Systems has a huge inventory of computer workstations, including compact computer workstations, cubicle spaces and more. Check out Spacify for modern modular computer workstation furniture.

Check out computer workstations with ergonomic designs


Ergonomics is not a passing trend - studies have shown that providing a safe, ergonomic computer workstation for each worker helps to reduce stress in the workplace.

I recommend: The Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA) offers an eTool to help you create a comfortable and ergonomically correct computer desk workstation for each employee. Build your own ergonomic computer workstation at ERGOSOURCE.

Consider discount and used suppliers of computer workstations


Can you afford custom computer workstations? Or are discount computer workstation vendors more in line with what you can afford? Fortunately, computer desk workstation options are available at all price points.

I recommend: National Office Liquidators takes high-end computer workstations from companies going out of business and resells them at a discount. Furniture25 is another great online source for a modular PC workstation, a mobile computer workstation and much more.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • When in doubt, opt for the functional desktop workstation versus the fancy one - unless, of course, your office space is easily visible to clients.
  • Leave room for growth. Don't choose computer workstations that eat up every square inch of your office space. You never know when that next business boom will happen.
