Plan the desk around the work
Start with the tasks the workspace needs to support. A standard Fattore Alpha desk is a practical choice when one primary work surface is enough, whether for an office workstation or a home office. The range includes compact formats and wider, deeper options. A smaller desk can make sense where floor area is limited; a larger surface may be more suitable when work involves papers, devices or several items that need to stay within reach. Use the dimensions on each listing to check the footprint against the room, chair position and nearby storage.
For a more expansive arrangement, consider a side extension or an executive side unit. Extensions can add a secondary surface, while the executive side-unit options bring a different configuration to the desk setup. Check the product description carefully: the family includes right-side extensions and desks intended for supporting pedestals, and those are not interchangeable assumptions. Confirm the specified side and how the piece is intended to connect before choosing.
Compare materials, finishes and features
Melamine appears on many of the listed tops and is a useful starting point when comparing the family. Collection-level attributes also show HPL and oak among top material options, along with a variety of surface colors and base colors. These are not necessarily available on every model. Review the selected product’s own details to confirm its top material, finish and base rather than relying on the full collection’s attribute range.
Construction also varies across the family: collection attributes include panel-leg, straight-leg and four-leg frames, with metal or melamine bases represented. The listings include both 65 cm and 73 cm heights and show adjustable and non-adjustable options across the collection. Verify the height and adjustment details for the exact desk you are considering; do not assume that all Fattore Alpha models share the same specification.
Check cable management and pedestal compatibility
Some models are suitable for a cable tray, but the collection includes desks both with and without one. If cable management matters, check whether the selected desk includes a tray or is only suitable for one. Likewise, confirm whether a supporting pedestal is required, included, or described as part of an executive side-unit configuration. The listing details are the best guide to what comes with each model.
What to check before selecting
- Measure the space available and compare it with the desk’s listed width and depth.
- Confirm whether you need a standalone desk, a side extension or a desk intended for a supporting pedestal.
- Check extension orientation, height, finish and top material on the specific listing.
- Review cable-tray details and any included pedestal or drawer features.
Once you have identified the right configuration, compare the available models in the collection against those requirements. Myntwork offers Fattore Alpha products on a monthly lease; check the relevant product information for the details that apply to your selection.

Not across the whole collection. Some models include a cable tray, while others do not; some are only identified as suitable for one. Confirm the specific listing.
