If you haven’t already noticed, we like office furniture here at Top office, we think its pretty ‘cool’ and has a lot of great benefits.

It can boost morale, reduce stress, and help you to avoid bad posture, and in the long term, serious health effects – so with this fantastic repertoire of benefits and brilliance, surely it couldn’t go any further? Well it has!

Across that rather large pond we call the Atlantic Ocean, in the USA, a group of people have been busy developing a rather amazing piece of office furniture equipment which could actually save your life!

The piece in question is an office desk, built to keep you safe in the event of an earthquake – that’s right, the old duck and cover method could actually come good! Built from reinforced steel, the desk is fitted with a safety department which you can climb in to in the event of an earthquake to avoid being hit by any falling debris!

Complete with interior padding, food stores and a gas mask, the desk is designed to keep you safe from extremely heavy falling debris, asphyxiation from dust, and even keep you alive whilst the rescue teams search for you!

Sound like a load of rubbish? Wondering how an office desk could protect you in an earthquake? Well if the reports at to be believed, this office desk has lived up to some pretty rigorous testing, which includes surviving being on the 6th floor of a building during demolition, and also having a Chevrolet Suburban SUV dropped on it from a height – pretty impressive!

This office desk isn’t available for sale yet, will probably cost a lot of money to buy, and isn’t really necessary in Britain, thankfully due to our relative lack of seismic activity, however, in places such as Japan, USA, and others around the world, office desks really could be saving the world!

If you’re looking for an office desk for a more conventional reason however (like the one in the above picture), that may not save the world, but will provide you with a stylish, sensible, practical place to work, then be sure to check out our range of office furniture, where there’s plenty to choose from!.

All over the country kids and teens have returned or are returning to school for another learning year, embarking on a journey that could well shape their entire working lives – especially for those doing GCSE’s, A-levels, Diploma’s and Degree’s.

For many this means a year of hard work and studies preparing for the next step in life – either that, or 9 months of laughs followed by one month of intense revision – but either way, they are preparing for important examinations, and these exminations require a proper, practical workspace.

It can be hard to tempt yourself to sit down at home and do that extra bit of studying when you really want to be out with your friends, and its made even harder when you don’t have a proper practical place to study – recent research showed that those without a proper, organised workspace are much less likely to revise out of lessons and in turn, are less prepared for examinations.

We highly recommend having a designated place of study, even if its just for half an hour per day before you switch on the games console or head off out, having a proper comfortable chair and a practical office desk will make it much easier and less stressful, than trying to write on your bed or leaning on a wall surrounded by a mess of paperwork and folders.

It might not be the most exciting thing to think of, but having a sensible, organised workspace will work wonders, we promise!

So, whether you’re looking for a place to do some home studying, a place where you can run your own home business, or simply a spacious place to put your computer and all of your games, a sensible office desk is ideal for all of them, and we have plenty in our office furniture collection right now, so why not check them out?
