Metal mesh shelves and wood shelves with thick cross-planks and a back panel offer greater stability than plastic shelves and back-less wood shelves. Desktop shelves are either in a freestanding position for mobility or fastened to the desk for strength. Organizational needs determine the preferred number of desktop compartments.
