Don’t skip these 3 things
1) Stability at standing height
If a desk wobbles when someone types, it becomes a “sit-only desk” real fast. Base quality matters.
2) Power plan
- Where does power come from: wall, floor core, or furniture power?
- Do you need power at every station?
3) Cable management
Cable trays + routing are what make a new office look finished.
