Separate an individual desk from a shared workstation module
A staff desk normally creates one work position that can be placed individually or repeated around a room. A workstation combines several positions in one coordinated module and may use shared frames, screens, storage or cable routes. The two choices affect the floor plan, quantity schedule, packing and installation sequence differently.
Use the complete BG model number as the product reference. A suffix such as S, W2 or W4 helps distinguish the source model, but the exact seat count, components and dimensions must still be confirmed from that model's verified source or current factory quotation.
- Complete model and product type
- Individual desk or shared workstation module
- Required seats and quantity of modules
- Screens, storage and cable-access requirements
- Verified size or open dimension confirmation
Compare the complete planning footprint
For staff desks, record the desk footprint, chair pull-back space, pedestal position and circulation. For workstations, record the complete module footprint rather than multiplying a single desktop size. Include screen thickness, shared storage, end panels and access to drawers or cabinets where relevant.
Mark columns, doors, floor boxes, wall power and emergency routes on the current floor plan. A product image is not a scaled layout, and a number inside a model suffix should not be treated as a measurement unless the source explicitly defines it that way.
- Clear room dimensions and circulation
- Overall module length and depth
- Chair and storage-opening clearance
- Power, data and cable route
- Left, right or face-to-face orientation where applicable
Build a quotation schedule that can be checked seat by seat
Group the requirement by room, department or floor. Put the complete model, selected size, finish, included components, module quantity and total seat count on each line. This makes it possible to compare a staff-desk layout with a workstation layout without confusing desks, modules and user positions.
Add the destination, delivery target, packing identification and any phased-installation requirement. Unknown dimensions or components should remain marked for factory confirmation and then be updated in the quotation, drawing or order revision before production.
- Room or department reference
- Model, size, finish and components
- Module quantity and total seat count
- Packing and installation sequence
- Destination, timing and approval revision

Prepare an RFQ ↗Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a staff desk and an office workstation?
A staff desk is normally one individual work position. A workstation is a coordinated multi-seat module that may share frames, screens, storage or cable routing. Confirm the exact model and included components before comparing prices.
Does W2 or W4 always confirm the complete workstation size?
No. The suffix helps identify the model configuration, but the complete size, screens, storage and included parts must be confirmed from the exact product source or current quotation.
How should workstation quantities be shown in an RFQ?
Show both the number of complete modules and the total user positions, together with the exact model, selected size, finish, components, destination and delivery target.
