The return unit is what defines this band
A mid-level executive desk fills the gap between a task desk and a full executive desk: team leads, department managers and middle-management offices. What defines the band before any dimension does is the return unit attached to the main top. Motto is listed at 205x175x75 and 225x175x75 cm, where the 175 cm figure is not the depth of one top but the top plus its integrated unit. Zeta is 208x158x75 cm and arrives with console and side table options, listing 140x50x67, 180x40x80 and 65x50x42 cm pieces. Because the top and its extension work as one object, draw the room against the combined rectangle rather than the width of the top.

The difference from a director’s desk is configuration, not just size
The two bands are easy to confuse and easy to separate once you know the intent. Executive desks are built on presence: tops running to 278 cm, full-length credenzas, a posture that registers from the doorway. The mid-level band is built on a more compact configuration — tops cluster between 180 and 225 cm and storage is resolved with a unit attached to the desk rather than a separate wall element. Compare it downwards too: single tops in desks stop at 200 cm and an integrated return is not standard. This category belongs to the office between those two limits.
Sit-stand working belongs here too
Two of the products in this category are not fixed height. Extrude is 180x85x75 cm, specified with an adjustable top and a durable metal base, built to move between individual focus and collaborative work, and it includes storage. The Up & Down series appears at a recorded 180x85x68 cm and is designed to break a full day held in one posture. Both are also listed under height-adjustable desks. In a middle-management room that alternates between concentrated work and quick one-to-ones, an adjustable top covers both uses on a single piece of furniture.
A lockable pedestal is a requirement in a one-to-one room
Storage in this band is not limited to the attached unit; the space under the top counts as well. The Cage pedestal, 42x55x62 cm, is listed in this category and sits comfortably below a 75 cm top. Lockable drawers matter more here than on the operations floor, because performance reviews and private conversations happen in the room. Motto and Zeta use metal frames that leave the underside clear so the pedestal can be positioned freely; choose a panel body instead and the net width available narrows, which is worth measuring before you order.
Move up or move down
If the room needs a top beyond 250 cm, a full-length credenza and unmistakable presence, step up to the executive band. If two people will share the room, or the top will be repeated into a block, workstations is the better fit. If more than four people gather in the room regularly, a separate meeting table takes the pressure off the desk. Everything sits under tables.
