     <h2  style="color: #8e8e8e; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; font-weight: 500; margin: 5px 0 0;">How to Find the Perfect Office Desk Top for Your Workspace</h2>
     <p class="paragraph" style="color: #8e8e8e; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0">As we approach the age of <a style="color: #555; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0; border: 0;" href="https://www.autonomous.ai/hybrid">hybrid working</a>, a lot of us have come to expect a flexible schedule from our employers, whether we work remotely full time or come into the office a few days a week. It’s a new, untested way of working and you might be finding it difficult to find ways to make your workspace a place that feels truly your own.  Whether it’s for your <a style="color: #555; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0; border: 0;" href="https://www.autonomous.ai/home-office">home office</a>, or for the office you visit a few days a week, there’s no better way to personalize your workspace than with a beautiful office desk top. Your work desk top is your canvas, the foundation for everything you do, the place where you keep all of your most important tools and where you spend time coming up with great new ideas. Regardless of your occupation, having a solid, high quality office table top is a must. But it can be difficult to decide what kind of surface is best suited to your needs. There are lots of great options out there, with different materials, shapes, and sizes. It’s important to consider what you use your desk for the most, and from there you can determine which top of desk is ideal for you. To help you choose the right table top computer desk, we’ve put together a guide so you can consider all the factors you need to look for before taking the plunge. Once you’ve decided which office desk top is perfect for you, you’ll be on your way to a happier and more productive work day.</p>
     <h3  style="color: #8e8e8e; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; font-weight: 400; margin: 5px 0 0;">Find the right material for your office desk top & Find the perfect finish work desk top for your aesthetic</h3>
     <p class="paragraph" style="color: #8e8e8e; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0">The material you choose for your office table top is a critical decision that affects not only the look, but the longevity of your desk as well. While you can definitely rule out a plastic or metal surface (they tend to feel cheap and don’t resist wear and tear), a solid wood slab is often what people go for, especially when they make their own custom desk. Solid wood is a great choice, though often the wood can contract and warp its shape over time. A happy medium is to go with a high quality, warp-proof <a style="color: #555; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0; border: 0;" href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/mdf-wood-vs-solid-wood-standing-desk-whatre-the-differences">medium-density fibreboard (MDF) wood</a>. This material is made from processed wood, which is then recombined into a sturdy and rock-solid structure that retains its integrity and doesn’t change shape over time. It’s reliable, durable, and best of all, it’s easy to customize with different wood finishes for a natural look. While clean, simple colors like black and white might be more fitting for a modern vibe, a lot of people enjoy the classic charm of a wooden surface. You can find an MDF wood table top for a desk that has a light bamboo finish,  which is great for lightening up a space but still retaining that classic wood feel. A white oak finish combines a sense of modern style with a classic undertone, giving your workspace a unique feel. If you’re feeling more colorful, you can also get an <a style="color: #555; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0; border: 0;" href="https://www.autonomous.ai/artists-collaboration">office desk top finish with unique artwork</a> to give your office space a pop of color. Choose from several great custom art designs from the Autonomous artist community. It’s a great way to give back to the artists and give your space a more unique look and feel.</p>
     <h3  style="color: #8e8e8e; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; font-weight: 400; margin: 5px 0 0;">Consider the ease of assembly- Check the weight of your office table top</h3>
     <p class="paragraph" style="color: #8e8e8e; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0">You’ll also need to consider how to attach the top of the desk to your existing <a style="color: #555; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0; border: 0;" href="https://www.autonomous.ai/ourblog/choosing-the-right-standing-desk-base-frame-a-full-guide">smart desk frame</a>. Consider where the mounting points are, as that will determine what measurements you need to take for your eventual purchase of an office desk top. You’ll also need to consider what tools you need in order to assemble the tabletop and frame. If you’ve got a power drill, you’ll just need to carefully measure the points where the frame attaches to the work desk top. However, if you purchase a frame and office table top from the same manufacturer, you won’t have to deal with as much of a headache when it comes time to assemble. Autonomous office desk tops and frames come with all the tools and screws you need to make assembly a breeze. Your frame must be able to support not only the weight of the table top, but all the tools and equipment you plan on using it for. So be sure your office desk top weight doesn’t exceed the weight limits of your existing frame. If the table top is close to the maximum weight, you’ll need to consider either a stronger frame or a lighter table top, because once you start adding your computer, monitor, peripherals, printers, etc, you could be dealing with structural integrity issues that could cause damage and bring you all the way back to square one.</p>
