The credenza created with the 5-unit work surface has over 6 feet of space to spread out. 3 I need space for two people to work without getting in each other s way. 2 great options: the partners desk is designed to seat 2 people facing each other OR if you have a long wall, go with two standard desks divided by a credenza. 4 5 I have a ton of files. Choose the 2-drawer cabinets when selecting cabinets for your credenza. They accomodate letter OR legal files. OR use Tall File Cabinets. I want to use my space for crafting. Outfitting a credenza with 3-drawer cabinets gives you small drawers for little items, deep drawers for larger crafting supplies, plus it gives you a big surface to work on. OR try a partner s desk it give you a large work surface plus lots of storage. 6 7 My office has to fit into the of my room. I need a place for my kids to do their homework. The desk addition is designed for you. It attaches to any two work surfaces, so you can maximize your space. The standard desk is great for kids. It s durable and has plenty of storage for their supplies. Choose a CPU cabinet to hold their computer. It ll keep the room looking tidy. 8 9 I have a lot of books. Stack one of our hutches on top of your credenza to add up to 45 of height for your book storage. I want to have a TV in my office. Position a credenza created with the 2-unit work surface across the room from your desk. It will double as a media cabinet and filing system. 10 11 I m on a budget, but need to get organized. I have a long, narrow room and can t get anything to fit. One of the desk group options gives you a desk plus up to 12 drawers for filing and storage. Use a 5-unit work surface with 3 single cabinets below. Now you have a long work space with desk and storage. 12 I have an L shaped room. Use a desk addition with varying sized credenzas on each side a 5-unit for the long skinny part of the L and a 2-unit credenza for the shorter wall. Add a hutch on top of the 5-unit credenza for vertical storage. ORIGINAL HOME OFFICE COLLECTION 3
