Setting up a home office has become increasingly important, especially with the rising popularity of remote work. Solid wood furniture offers not only a practical working environment but also creates a pleasant and warm atmosphere that inspires productivity. How do you choose a solid wood table or shelf that suits your needs?

Why Choose Solid Wood Furniture for Your Home Office?

Solid wood has proven itself as a timeless material that brings several important advantages when furnishing a home office:

• Strength and durability – solid wood furniture lasts for generations, withstanding daily use well
• Timeless aesthetics – each piece of wood’s unique pattern makes your furniture item one-of-a-kind
• Environmental friendliness – wood is a renewable resource, making it a sustainable choice
• Adaptability – solid wood furniture can be easily restored and refreshed when style preferences change

In homes with children, solid wood furniture is particularly practical – even if the surface gets damaged over time, it can be restored with simple means, making the investment sensible in the long run.

Birch and Oak Laminated Wood: Durable Materials for Home Offices

Riverbank OÜ specializes in high-quality birch and oak laminated wood products that are ideal for furnishing home offices.

Birch Laminated Wood

Birch laminated wood stands out for its high physical-mechanical properties – it is strong and durable, especially against impact loads. With its light tone and uniform texture, birch laminated wood fits perfectly into modern interiors, creating a light-filled and airy working environment.

From the birch laminated wood products selection, you can find different quality classes:

• AA – knot-free on both sides, with uniform tone
• AB – knot-free on the upper side, a few small knots allowed on the lower side
• BC – some knots allowed on the upper side, unlimited knots and color changes allowed on the lower side

Oak Laminated Wood

Oak is valued for its strength, rot resistance, and ease of processing. Oak laminated wood adds classic elegance and a luxurious appearance to the home office, fitting into both traditional and contemporary interior design spaces.

The oak laminated wood products selection includes two quality classes:

• AB – knot-free on the upper side, a few small knots and sapwood allowed on the lower side
• Rustic – unlimited healthy knots allowed on both sides

Finger-Jointed vs. Full Lamella: Which to Choose?

Two main techniques are used in the production of laminated wood panels, and understanding them helps choose a solution that meets your needs:

Finger-Jointed Laminated Wood Panels

Finger-jointed laminated wood panels are made by gluing together pieces of wood with comb-like notched ends. This is an economically favorable option because:

• Production residues are used, reducing material waste
• Poorer wood parts (knots, resin pockets, cracks) are removed
• Better pieces are finger-jointed into a quality whole

Visually, only the comb tooth and a fine connection point remain on the side of the panel, which does not disturb the overall impression. Finger-jointed material works especially well in areas with temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for home office tables and shelves.

Full Lamella

Full lamella represents a higher quality class, creating the effect of a unified wooden panel:

• Made from carefully selected long and defect-free blanks
• Finding raw material is more difficult, which is reflected in the price
• The longer the blank, the higher the price per square meter

Full lamella is a distinguished choice when you want a home office table or shelf that appears especially high quality and draws attention.

Modular Shelves in the Home Office: Practical and Stylish Solutions

Acoustic Solutions in the Home Office

When working from home, it’s important to create an environment that supports concentration. Acoustic wall panels are a practical and stylish solution that helps make the home office quieter and cozier.

Riverbank OÜ acoustic wall panels help diffuse and absorb sound waves, reducing echo and noise. They are made of felt and natural solid wood, offering both functionality and aesthetic value.

Natural solid wood slats give a warm and natural look in the home office, fitting perfectly with both classical and modern interior design.

Dimensions and Prices: What to Consider When Choosing

When selecting home office furniture, besides aesthetics, you should also consider practical aspects:

1. Desk dimensions – optimal depth is 60-70 cm to ensure sufficient space for computer, documents, and other necessary work tools
2. Shelf height and depth – base this on what you plan to store on the shelves (books, folders, technological devices)
3. Room proportions – furniture must allow comfortable movement and create a balanced appearance

Riverbank OÜ’s product range includes solutions in different price categories:

• Dining tables (which are also suitable for use in home offices): €390.59 – €665.99
• Acoustic wall panels: €179.00 – €365.00

Maintenance and Durability: An Investment That Pays Off

Solid wood furniture is an investment that, with proper care, maintains its beauty and functionality for decades. Main maintenance recommendations:

1. Regular cleaning – use special wood surface cleaning agents
2. Protection from moisture and direct sunlight – avoid prolonged contact with liquids and strong sunlight
3. Periodic oiling or waxing – depending on the type of wood and intensity of use

Unlike cheaper furniture that often needs replacement, solid wood items are easily restorable – scratches can be sanded, surfaces refinished, giving your favorite piece a new life.
