Narbutas NOVA U Bench Desk

Shared desks for teams and work areas

The NOVA U family suits offices that need to seat colleagues at shared work surfaces, rather than furnishing each workstation as a standalone desk. The range includes two-person benches as well as larger configurations listed for four, six, eight and ten people, making it possible to plan around different team sizes.

Use a straight bench for a simple shared row, or consider a desk-island or back-to-back arrangement when you want workstations grouped together. These desks have melamine tops and steel bases, with fixed, non-adjustable height.

Compare layout and cable access

Models vary in footprint and configuration. Listed widths include 120, 140, 160 and 180 cm, while depths include 124, 144 and 164 cm. Check the individual product details to confirm which dimensions apply to the layout you are considering.

Cable grommets, cutouts and cable-tray features vary across the family. Some listings include a cable tray and others do not, although the desks are suitable for one. Surface and base colors also vary, so confirm the available selection on each model before planning a coordinated office.

Plan the workstation layout

Start by deciding how people should sit and how the desks will fit into the room. A straight bench creates a shared line of workstations, which can be useful for teams working alongside one another. Back-to-back configurations place desks in opposing directions, while desk-island options can help group several work positions in an open area. Compare the product’s stated number of users with the seating plan you have in mind.

Measure the intended area before choosing a configuration. NOVA U listings include widths of 120, 140, 160 and 180 cm, and depths of 124, 144 and 164 cm. These dimensions are not available on every model. Allow space for chairs, circulation and access around the workstation, and verify the listed measurements for the exact desk rather than assuming all layouts share the same footprint.

Choose a model by its details

Work surface and frame

The family uses melamine tabletops with steel bases. Surface colors listed across the range include beige, black, blue, grey, white, green and wood; base colors include black, grey, blue, brown, green and white. Color availability may differ by product, so use the specific listing to confirm the combinations offered for your preferred size and layout.

Cable management

Think about where power and data need to reach each workstation. Some NOVA U desks have a cable grommet or another cable-access feature, while certain variants are listed with a cable tray. The family is suitable for a cable tray, but not every desk includes one. Check whether the selected model has the openings and tray you need, and plan any additional cable-management requirements before settling on a layout.

What to check before selecting

  • Confirm the number of people, desk arrangement and dimensions for the specific model.
  • Check whether the product is a straight desk, back-to-back configuration or desk island.
  • Review the available tabletop and base colors for that listing.
  • Verify which cable-access features and tray components are included.
  • Remember that the desks are not height adjustable; choose a fixed-height workstation only if it suits the users and work setup.

Once you have narrowed down the layout, compare the individual product details to make sure the footprint, finish and cable setup match your office plan. Myntwork offers NOVA U products on a monthly lease, providing a way to consider these desks as part of a workplace furnishing plan. Each product listing states its own specifications and a two-year warranty; check those details alongside your workspace requirements before choosing.
