What is a Credenza?

Credenzas and credenza desks offer storage solutions by providing functionality in an accent office furniture piece. They provide hidden storage within the cabinet. Inside the cabinet is shelving that allows for great organization. An example of great use for the cabinetry is storing electronics out of sight in a conference room.

Credenzas also have a small tabletop that works well as a secondary workstation. They are often set directly behind the main desk so that they work in conjunction with the primary desk. This partnership makes for a highly efficient desk workstation. This type of office furniture should be viewed as an assistant to the primary desk.

The tabletop of a credenza isn't intended to hold a computer, but a laptop will work well. In addition a printer, or phone, or even some books or file folders can be stored on the tabletop. Outside of an office, a credenza works well in a breakroom as a beverage cart. Using it for coffee is a great idea, as well as setting a microwave on the tabletop. The internal storage will house the items such as cups, plates, and sugar.
