Telephone Arms:

The telephone arm is a simple accessory which usually clamps onto either the side or the back of the desk. Similar in design to the angle poise lamp the user can adjust the angle or height of the arm so that the telephone is easy to reach and use.

Telephone arms are sometimes needed when there is not enough room on the desktop. However, as is true of many products on the market today, they are often seen as a 'new gadget that the user next door doesn't have'. Hence they are often bought when they are not actually needed. In most cases the problem of lack of desktop space can be overcome without the need to purchase additional equipment. The solution - more effective desktop management i.e. tidying up and organising paperwork. For folders and storage trays see the details on the Desktop Accessories catalogue page.

If after reorganising your desktop, you still feel that you need a telephone arm they can be purchased from office equipment suppliers or ergonomic product companies.

Prices are vary between £15 and £25 and the main stockists are ergonomic product suppliers.
