FAQ's- IQUBX Office Workstation Tables & Understructures

What is a workstation understructure?

A workstation understructure is the structural frame beneath a desk or table — the legs, gable ends and connecting beams that carry the worktop and hold a run of workstations in line. It is specified separately from the worktop, so one system can serve single desks, shared benching, clusters and conference tables. It is also called a table frame, office table legs or a desk frame, and in the USA a table base or desk base.

Most office table legs are welded mild steel (MS), powder coated. Some modular systems use bolted steel or galvanised (GI) members. IQUBX office table legs and frames are extruded 6063 T6 aluminium alloy with up to 100% recycled content, finished in powder coat or anodising.

For office workstations that will be reconfigured, yes. Aluminium is about one-third the density of steel, does not rust, and can be cut cleanly on site with standard tools. IQUBX extruded sections carry their joinery along their full length, so a shortened leg or beam is re-joined like a new one – something welded or factory-detailed steel frames cannot do.

Strength comes from section design as much as material. IQUBX frames are engineered sections in 6063 T6 alloy, used in long benching runs, 12-seat clusters and conference tables; the slim WSGD03 table base is used in many projects to carry heavy stone tops.

A welded frame is fixed in size at the factory and cannot be extended, shortened or reconfigured. Bolted steel or GI systems can be dismantled, but their joinery relies on details formed into each member, so a shortened member can no longer be joined. IQUBX aluminium frames can be cut and re-joined on site.

Yes. Legs and beams are extruded sections that can be cut on site with standard tools, and their joinery features run the full length of the section. A 2-seater can be extended into a cluster, a bench divided into islands, or a cluster regrouped, using the original frames.

CKD means the frame is shipped as separate sections and joinery components, not as welded or pre-assembled frames. Packing is compact, which lowers transport volume for domestic and export projects, and the frames are assembled on site with fasteners.

In India, one workstation seat is commonly 1200 to 1500 mm wide (1200 mm is the most common) and 600 or 750 mm deep, with the worktop at about 750 mm. For a 600 mm-deep top, IQUBX straight-leg and gable frames are about 550 mm wide or less, with a customisable set-back from the edge; frames are made to the exact size of each project.

A linear workstation is a straight run of desks, single-sided (non-shared) or back to back (shared); long shared runs are office bench desks. An L-shape workstation adds a 90° return for more working area. A cluster workstation groups three, four or six seats around a common centre at 90° or 120°. IQUBX frames are fabricated to all of these layouts.

Yes. Every IQUBX frame — WSL01, WSLT60, WSLSQ50 and WSGD03 – can be engineered and adapted to an L-shape workstation or L-shaped office desk. The corner is carried by a leg or a gable end, as IQUBX frames are not designed for beam-to-beam corner joints. The return is built from the same legs and beams as the main desk, in the same finish.

There is no single standard; sizes are set by the project and the user’s work. The return of an L-shape workstation is typically 450 to 600 mm deep and 750 to 1200 mm long, set against a main worktop of the project’s standard seat width, commonly 1200 to 1500 mm in India.

The terms describe how many seats one workstation unit serves: a 2-way workstation seats two, a 4-way four, and a 6-way six, usually back to back or in a cluster. They are the same as 2, 4 and 6-seater workstations. IQUBX frames such as WSL01F12002 serve a 4-way shared layout.

A non-shared workstation seats users on one side of the top, usually against a wall or screen. A shared workstation seats users on both sides of a common double-width top, back to back. IQUBX frames come in single-width (600 series) and double-width (1200 series) versions for each.

WSL01 for a tapered, splayed leg and round or conference tables; WSLT60 for a closed triangular-section loop gable in long benching; WSLSQ50 for a rectilinear square-section look, straight or looped; and WSGD03 for slim, creative table bases and heavy stone tops. All four share the same material, CKD supply and two-colour options.

Yes. WSL01 six-leg frames are used for conference tables, the three-leg WSL01FM1 carries round tops of 750–900 mm diameter, WSLT60 suits large conference tables, and WSGD03 is used as a table base for sculptural and stone-top tables – keeping meeting furniture in the same language as the workstations.

WSGD03 is a strong construction used in many projects with heavy stone tops, despite its slim 26 × 40 mm legs and 60 × 40 mm beams. For any heavy top, share the top size and material with IQUBX so the frame layout can be planned accordingly.

Three routes are used: wire managers (50 or 75 mm) in the top with switchboards under the table on a vertical 100 × 50 mm tube; a pop-up box in the top fed by a cable riser (spider); or a horizontal 100 × 50 mm tube raceway along part or all of the run, which can house the switchboard itself with a lid-type pop-up box for access.

WSL01, WSLT60 and WSLSQ50 can be fitted with optional height adjusters at the base, which level the frame on uneven floors. These are levellers, not sit-stand mechanisms. The standard WSL01 height is 725 mm including the cap, and frame heights can be set to the design.

Powder coat in any colour, anodised, or raw mill. Every system can be finished in two colours: the snap-fit cover (WSLT60, WSLSQ50), the cover plate (WSGD03) or one of the two leg components (WSL01) takes a second finish.

The main factors are the number of seats and the layout, the frame model and size, the worktop material and thickness, pedestals and storage, wire management, the finish, and the quantity. Buying only the frames or the aluminium sections costs less than a complete workstation. IQUBX quotes against each project’s layout.

Yes, on demand. IQUBX’s core role is designing and manufacturing table legs and frames, but complete office workstation tables — frames, worktops, pedestals, screens and wire management — are supplied fabricated for projects. Dealers can buy CKD frames cut to layout, and furniture makers can buy only the proprietary sections.

Yes. IQUBX distributors and furniture makers with their own fabrication facilities can buy the proprietary leg and beam sections and joinery, and source generic components such as 100 × 50 mm tubes, cable risers and wire managers locally.

Yes. They are GreenPRO Ecolabel Type 1 certified and made from up to 100% recycled aluminium (10% pre-consumer, 90% post-consumer; may vary). Because frames are modified rather than replaced when layouts change, and aluminium is fully recyclable, they also reduce material waste over the life of an interior.

Yes. CKD supply suits export, and IQUBX supplies projects across India and exports its systems to the UAE, Bahrain, Oman and Nepal. Distribution partnerships are invited in the Middle East, Egypt, East Africa, Europe and the USA; contact info@iqubx.com.

In India: office table legs, metal table legs, table frames or modular workstation frames. In the UK and Europe: desk legs, desk frames or desking frames, with long shared desks called office bench desks or bench desking. In the USA: table bases, desk bases or metal desk legs. In East Africa, workstations are often described as 2-way or 4-way.

IQUBX Pvt Ltd, New Delhi, a design-led engineering and manufacturing company creating Empathetic-Dynamic Architectural Systems™, is a workstation understructure, desk frame and table frame manufacturer. It makes modular aluminium office table legs and workstation frames – WSL01, WSLT60, WSLSQ50 and WSGD03 – GreenPRO Ecolabel Type 1 certified, supplied CKD across India and for export.

For project quantities, buy from a manufacturer that makes workstation tables to the layout rather than from catalogue retailers selling fixed sizes. IQUBX supplies complete office workstation tables, office bench desks, L-shaped desks and cubicle workstations – frames, worktops, pedestals, screens and wire management – fabricated for corporate, banking, co-working and institutional projects.

An office bench desk, or bench desking, is a long shared worktop with users seated along both sides, usually back to back, on one continuous frame. IQUBX office bench desks are built on WSLT60, WSLSQ50 or WSL01 frames and can be lengthened, shortened or divided into islands on site as teams change.

An office cubicle workstation is a workstation enclosed partly or fully by desk screens or partitions, giving each user privacy, a defined personal zone and a pin-up or writing surface. IQUBX builds cubicle workstations by mounting WS28 Airline or WS54 Jetline aluminium partitions on its workstation frames, in straight, L-shaped or T-shaped configurations.

WS28 Airline is a 28 mm ultra-slim partition with minimum components, used for desk screens, table-top partitions and aprons where power and data are handled at the worktop. WS54 Jetline is a sturdier 54 mm partition with internal wiring provision, so sockets can sit in the screen; it also forms screen walls and full-height partitions.
