In an industry defined by its austere, look-alike industrial designs, Balt carrels manage to unite elegance and function. These partitioned study or work desks for institutional settings stand out from other carrels because of their light wood construction and relatively soft lines.

Balt carrels also offer an unconditional product guarantee, easy assembly and modular (add-on) possibilities. Why pay more for lookalikes when you can choose from a wide variety of Balt carrels providers and receive a more attractive high quality product for less? Consider these reasons that Balt carrels might be right for your business:

1. You can find a Balt carrels distributor with just a few mouse clicks from anywhere in the nation.

2. Almost every Balt carrels vendor will have Balt add-on accessories available too.

3. Used Balt carrels are a great buy and can easily be refurbished.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Buy Balt carrels online

If you're looking for Balt carrels, website after website of authorized full-line Balt dealers makes them easy to find. Most will compete for your business by offering free shipping, steep discounts or both.

I recommend: CSN Office Furniture and Wholesale Replacement Hardware both distribute the full line of Balt products, and both offer free shipping on Balt carrels.

Ask your Balt carrels supplier for accessories

Simple design and few frills are the trademark of a study carrel as opposed to a traditional desk, but many Balt carrels come with features like modesty panels, wire grommets and auto-leveling glides (to keep your sliding drawers stable even on uneven surfaces). Other functional accessories are available as optional add-ons or after-the-fact purchases.

I recommend: Find products for sale and information about Balt carrels accessories like a CPU holder, a second add-on carrel or a locking cable conduit door at CSN Library Furniture. Or you could get the Balt floor carrel from AVcarts.com, with pull-out keyboard tray and floor-length privacy panels already installed and also compatible with add-on carrels.

Beat the lowest Balt carrels price by buying used

If you stumble across Balt carrels in used furniture stores, online markets or being sold off from schools or libraries, snap it up! Their frame-and-laminate construction makes them perfect candidates for refurbishing, giving you a sturdy like-new product at a fraction of the original price.

I recommend: Top Seat Supply will strip your used or damaged Balt carrel down to its metal frame and rebuild it. Conklin Office Furniture also refurbishes office furniture and lets you specify parameters like height and color for the finished product.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

• •  Add-on Balt carrels cannot stand alone; they must attach to another Balt carrel through sturdy metal connectors and form a straight line configuration. Remember to take the shared end panel into account when measuring for a panel of Balt carrels.
