Workstation frame sizes for 1, 2 and 4 seaters

Office workstations are built on a few repeat module sizes. Knowing them lets a fit-out firm plan the floor, order worktops and frames separately and still have everything line up on site.

The standard module sizes

These are the market-standard sizes our Avrelo workstation frames are built to. All are 750 mm desk height.

Layout	Overall size (L × D × H)	Seats
Single desk	1200 × 600 × 750 mm	1
Single desk, deep	1200 × 750 × 750 mm	1
2-seater face-to-face	1200 × 1200 × 750 mm	1 + 1
4-seater sharing	2400 × 1200 × 750 mm	2 + 2 back-to-back
4-seater sharing, deep	2400 × 1500 × 750 mm	2 + 2 back-to-back

Longer runs are made by repeating the 1200 mm module: 6 seats at 3600 mm, 8 seats at 4800 mm.

600 mm or 750 mm depth

A 600 mm deep desk suits laptop work and dense floors. A 750 mm deep desk gives room for a monitor at a comfortable distance plus paperwork, and is the usual choice for staff who sit all day. On a sharing bench the two depths give 1200 mm and 1500 mm overall.

Desk height

Fixed-height office desks are normally around 750 mm to the top of the worktop. Check whether your frame height is quoted with or without the worktop: a 25 mm top on a 725 mm frame gives 750 mm.

Space planning around the frame

Allow about 900 to 1200 mm behind each seat for the chair and for people to pass.
Keep main aisles wider than the space behind seats.
Plan cable entry before ordering: cable trays and ducts are sized to the 1200 mm module.
Modesty panels and desk screens are also made to the module, so fix the module first.

Frame only, or frame with top

Many fit-out firms buy the steel frame from a frame maker and the worktop from a board supplier. The frame sizes above are for the steel understructure; the worktop is not included. If you want a non-standard size, a frame can be made to your drawing.
