Choosing a format for your office
For storage directly alongside a workstation, begin with the under-desk-height EL612. Its stated bookcase-and-cabinet format can suit a layout where keeping storage close to the desk is more important than adding a separate tall unit. Measure the available clearance carefully, including any space needed for chair movement, drawers or other furniture.
Consider EL112 if the metal-base design is the feature that best fits your plan. It is listed as a bookcase with metal base and metal structure, with melamine-plus construction referenced in the product information. For an arrangement involving a desk extension and cabinet, compare the ELS12 suspended bookcase configuration. Confirm how the selected model is intended to work with the specific desk and surrounding layout rather than assuming all three formats install or sit in the same way.
Check dimensions, finish and storage needs
Plan the footprint
The collection data lists a 40 cm depth, widths of 120, 160, 200 and 240 cm, and heights of 50, 65, 75, 125 and 175 cm. These are collection-level choices, not a guarantee that every model comes in every dimension. Compare the selected item’s dimensions with the floor plan and desk height, and leave practical access around the unit. If the furniture will be placed beneath or alongside a desk, verify clearances before deciding.
Match the finish to the room
Black, grey and white are listed colors for Ellan. Choose a finish in the context of existing desks and storage, then verify its availability for the model and size you need. The collection information references metal and melamine-plus construction; use the individual model details to confirm the construction and finish applicable to your selection.
Think about what you need to store
Ellan is described as bookcase and cabinet storage, and a cylinder lock is listed among the collection attributes. Check the chosen configuration for the locking feature if you need to secure contents. Hanging folder frames are not listed, so this family may not suit a filing requirement that depends on suspended folders. Acoustic performance is also not listed as a feature.
What to confirm before selecting
Shortlist a model by placement, then verify its actual dimensions, finish and cabinet details before finalising a workplace plan. For multi-desk projects, check that the same configuration and finish are available where needed, instead of relying on collection-wide attributes. Myntwork offers these products on a monthly lease, so you can also consider the lease option as part of your office furniture planning.
