Under desk storage in two formats: mobile pedestals on castors that roll out when needed and tuck away when they are not, and fixed pedestals that bolt under a desk. The Impulse mobile and fixed pedestals match the Impulse desking finishes, while the Base and steel mobile pedestals give you a tougher three drawer metal option for workshops and studios. Most mix shallow stationery drawers with a deeper filer for suspended files, and a mobile unit doubles as a spare perch, which is more than a filing cabinet manages.
Choosing a pedestal
Decide first whether it moves. A mobile pedestal suits hot desking, and it can live beside the desk rather than under it so leg space stays clear. A fixed pedestal is better for a permanent workstation, because it stiffens the desk and cannot be wheeled off with someone else's paperwork inside. Check the depth against your desk, since a pedestal deeper than the top stops the desk sitting flat to a wall.
Then look at the drawer mix. Two shallow drawers and one filer covers most desk jobs, while three shallow drawers suit offices where filing is done centrally. If suspended files matter, check the filer is rated for them and order the frames at the same time. Locks are worth having in a shared space, and on a mobile unit look for a sound anti tilt design. Steel bodies from the Base range wear better in busy rooms, wood finishes match a desking scheme more neatly.
Desks and the rest of the storage
Pedestals are bought with desks nine times out of ten, so start at office desks, or desks with storage if you would rather have it built in. Where leads are a factor, cable port top desks keep them tidy once a pedestal fills part of the underside. Beyond personal paperwork, look at office cupboards and steel storage, with storage and filing covering everything else.

Standard delivery to UK mainland addresses is free and typically arrives within five working days, with a next working day upgrade for urgent orders. Steel pedestals usually turn up assembled and wooden ones flat packed, so with several landing at once it is worth adding pre-build and installation.
