3 Cool Ways to Modernize Your Office Space

2012-02-07T10:22:00.005-05:00

Modern office furniture is a trend that's sweeping the industry. Out dated offices are being enhanced everyday to keep up with the changing times. It's important to provide your guests and customers with a professional environment that will leave a lasting impression. It's also important to provide your employees with a functional and efficient workspace without breaking your companies budget. In today's post we will cover 3 simple ways to modernize your office without breaking your budget.

1.) Ergonomic Dual Screen Monitor Arms

Monitor arms have been around for quite awhile now. Personally, I think they are the greatest thing to happen to offices since chairs with wheels! All joking aside, dual screen monitor arms allow you to pull up multiple screens at a time. They eliminate the need to constantly open and close screens. They are easily rotated to allow customers to view digital charts, pictures, and much more. Dual screen monitor arms are an excellent way to modernize all types of offices. From car dealerships to health care and doctor's offices. Dual screen monitors will enhance your space and your efficiency. The average price of a Dual screen monitor arm is around $200.

2.) Modern Executive Desks

I'll admit, that replacing all of the desks in an office is not typically budget friendly. However, there are popular lines of casegoods on the market that will help you accomplish this with ease. You just have to know where to look. Manufacturers like Mayline, Cherryman Industries, and Global Total Office offer several modern furniture lines that will provide a look of cohesion throughout your office. If you are still using old wooden desks with glass tops and pictures underneath, it's time to upgrade! Nothing against traditional office furniture, but for those looking to come into the modern age... it simply won't cut it. For that reason replacing your offices desking is an essential part of modernizing your workplace. Using affordable, and most importantly matching casegoods from manufacturers like the ones listed above will have you in the 21st century in no time!

3.) Mesh Back Office Chairs

By far, mesh back office chairs are our top seller. The average price for a quality mesh back chair with useful ergonomic features is around $150. Most come with lifetime warranties and are truly built to last. Quality seating manufacturers like Flash Furniture, Offices To Go, and RFM pride themselves on offering modern mesh back office chairs that will really set the feel for your office. Mesh back chairs have been on the market for some time now. They are definitely not the only style of chair that will modernize your space. However, because the backs are not completely covered in high end fabrics, they save you money. In fact, the chair pictured in the post is only $89.99! Mesh back chairs are without a doubt the best form of seating to provide a modern look without breaking the bank.

Hopefully you have found these 3 simple tips useful. Our goal is to provide you with information that will save you time and money while improving the quality of your workspace and efficiency. Thanks for stopping by.

Executive Office Chairs that Provide All Day Support

2012-01-09T10:02:00.002-05:00

With all the trends in modern office chairs, several options have been made available for executives looking for the latest ergonomic capabilities. It's important for executives to enjoy and receive the latest in ergonomic chair features as well as employees. Some excellent lines to consider are Mayline and Global Total Office. Chairs from these two industry leading manufacturers worth a look are the Auburn, Ride, Ultimo, and Concorde chair line. These chairs not only offer modern style, they offer excellent features like lumbar, tilt tension, and back height to keep executives comfortable all day. It years past, it was all about looks when it came to executive office chairs. This is no longer the case. Now executives can sit in comfort all day while still making a professional statement with their workspace!

Executive U Desks Save Space and Money

2012-01-04T10:13:00.003-05:00

One of the oldest and most popular styles of desks has been, and will continue to be the executive U desk. U-Shaped executive desks offer an affordable and economical way to enhance any workspace. The design, typically composed of a desk, return, and credenza, makes for an efficient "everything at my fingertips" style. While all quality office furniture manufacturers offer their versions of U-Desks, some are more pricey than others. It is important to measure your space and find the size and style desk that works best for your space. One feature of Executive U-Desks I particularly like is the ability to add on easily. If you outgrow your configuration it is usually quite easy to add additional pieces such as a hutch, file cabinets, or larger desk. Another benefit of using a U-Desk configuration is modularity. The ability to transform your desk from a right or left return is great for those not in a permanent office space! Executive U-shaped desks may not be the solution for everyone, but in our opinion they are an excellent value and provide a style that stands the test of time!

Fabric Computer Chairs - The Affordable Seating Solution

2011-12-20T10:26:00.004-05:00

Outfitting an entire office with dozens or even hundreds of chairs can be quite difficult on a budget. Finding quality office chairs can be fun, simple, and educational.

They offer excellent ergonomic features, stylish design, and they typically ship within 48 hours of order. While all of the seating providers listed are excellent, the selection of fabric computer chairs from OTG is just my personal choice.

Wood Conference Chairs will Enhance Your Conference Space

2011-12-09T10:54:00.003-05:00

One of the top office furniture and seating related questions I've received this year is, "How do I enhance my conference room?". Most customers already have a nice wood conference table, but older run down conference chairs. I Highly recommend finding wood conference chairs to match your table. The look says you are a put together business that took the time to find matching pieces. Using affordable wood conference chairs almost look like an extension of the table and other furniture in the room.

For those in the market for a new conference table, I recommend contacting your favorite dealer and asking for an entire conference room package that would work well for your space. Purchasing your furniture together can save you money! It can also ensure that you don't end up with furniture from 5 different places that doesn't match. Nothing looks less professional than a conference room with a cherry table, maple cabinet, and old ratty chairs. It's hard to impress your clients and guests with that statement.

The good news is, purchasing conference furniture today can be extremely affordable! At OfficeAnything.com we put together bulk discount conference room packages with free shipping along with excellent deals on wood conference chairs. Let us know if you need some advice with your conference room. We are here to help!

2011-12-05T12:05:00.003-05:00

This past Friday we had the privilege to meet with the executive director of Offices To Go. He was kind enough to bring us several of the new offices to go offices chairs to try out. That being said, all of the chairs where great. However, one stood out in particular. The 11648B leather conference chair. This chair had it all. The first thing you notice about the 11648B is the look! A sleek leather design along with chrome back, arms, and base really make it stand out. The whole day I found myself shocked at not only the $205.99 sell price, but the level of comfort the office chair provided for the price. The seat offered plenty of cushion and support, while the chair backs segmented design provided the same! Overall this chair is amazing! It typically ships w/in 48 hours of order and is an excellent choice for conference rooms, home offices, or anywhere you might be in need of an incredible office chair!

Features Include:

Attractive black Luxhide upholstery with mock leather trim
Chrome arms with upholstered armrests

The Multi-Purpose Work Space

2011-10-04T09:08:00.005-04:00

In today's world there is an ever growing need for space. When expansion is not an option, how do you best utilize your existing space to meet your needs? In today's post we will focus on the benefits and products used to provide your business with a multi-purpose work space.

The multi-purpose work space has become incredibly efficient and popular over the past years. People have realized that using a room for one space when it can be effectively used for two or three is silly. The most common multi-purpose workspace is the conference room furniture / training room furniture application. Many individuals have found that by purchasing a modular conference table, that their space can be transformed to an adequate training space in minutes. Tables like the Global Bungee series, and Adaptabilities series allow for a grouping of tables to make up a conference table, and then fold and roll to make a series of training tables. What better way to save cost and space?

It seems almost strange to think of wasting an entire extra room when you can easily make due with one. Understandably if you have an enormous office this might not be necessary but consider the little guys for a minute. Space is at a premium and every ounce is usually spoken for in some way.

The best time to start your multi-purpose space is before a conference table or group of training tables has been purchased. Call your dealer and go over the options that would best fit your needs. You will be shockingly surprised at the price difference. One last tip, opt for tables with casters and flip tops. They allow for simple nesting and movement to transform your space faster!

Especially when they are trying to achieve that modern look, that has become so popular in recent years.

Modern conference tables and conference furniture in general can actually save you money. How you might ask?

When it comes to ergonomic computer desks, some industry leaders include Mayline, ESI, and Ergonomic Concepts. These brands offer many styles that offer height adjustments, angle adjustments and even models that allow you to stand at your desk to increase blood flow while decreasing the strain placed on your back.

Going with a standing computer desk is definitely an idea worth looking into. Models from Mayline like the Varitask series of modern computer desks allow for many personalized adjustments to be made at the push of a button.

The trends with modern computer desks continue to push the limits of modern ergonomics. It's important to note that people are becoming more and more aware of health problems associated with sitting at a desk for 8 hours at a time, in a chair that doesn't support there frame and a desk that is either way to short or too tall to accommodate their needs.

Before purchasing a new computer desk, take the time to research the ergonomic qualities the item offers. Just because a modern computer desk looks nice, doesn't mean it's going to improve your day to day abilities. Many desks feature beautiful glass tops and curved leg designs but that does nothing for posture and productivity. Researching desks before purchase is absolutely essential and can save you big time in the long run.

Hopefully you have found this post to be helpful and informative. As always, it is our goal to provide useful information to consumers before making hasty purchases.

Office Furniture Coupons

2011-09-02T09:48:00.006-04:00

Finding office furniture coupons online is an excellent way to save additional money on purchases of any size. While many utilize these savings, far too many never take the time to look. That being said, I've decided to take the time and write this post about where to look for office furniture coupons.

With all of the coupon sites available online, which ones are the best in regards to office furniture. Most every coupon site is going to have places like Office Depot, Staples, and Office Max. However, these are more for general office products like paper and toner. If you are looking for home, school, or commercial office furniture you'll need to search a bit more specifically.

Doing a simple Google search for the term will bring your some great results and sources for savings. Using the vendor name in the search will give you more specified results. This is a great way to save if you are a return customer, and like a particular merchant. Overall my 3 favorite sources for online office furniture coupons are retailmenot.com, tjoos.com, and monkeybargains.com.

Most office furniture coupons you'll find are for free shipping. For sites like OfficeAnything.com who already offer that, you'll typically find coupons for a dollar amount off a certain purchase price. The margins in the office furniture industry are typically extremely low and savings usually range around the $25 mark. But hey, in this economy $25 bucks is $25 bucks!

Another great way for larger businesses to save huge is by utilizing bulk discounts. If you are purchasing 5 to 10 of any item, it is always worth calling to see about a bulk discount. Typically our customers save hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars depending on the order size, just by placing a simple phone call!

In the long run, any money saved is a good thing. By taking the time to do a little research, you can save yourself or your company some hard earned dough. Thanks so much for taking the time to read today's post! See ya tomorrow.

Ergonomic Computer Accessories Increase Productivity

2011-08-30T11:01:00.005-04:00

With the advances in modern ergonomics, computer accessories have been made available that will greatly increase day to day productivity. Commonly, many think that just having an ergonomic office chair is the only necessary ergo attribute necessary to work a healthy day. Computer accessories like ergonomic monitor arms, keyboard trays, and copy holders are becoming more and more common because of the invaluable ergonomic benefits offered.

Ergonomic monitor arms are typically seen in IT offices because of there ability to hold multiple computer screens. However, benefits like increased usable desk space and mobility are making monitor arms more and more popular. Having the option of your computer screens tilt angle, depth from work station, and mounting position are attractive features that will definitely have you hooked after trying them!

Keyboard trays are often over looked for there useful benefits. Nothing is worse in my opinion than have a beautiful office desk with an old keyboard laying right on the work surface. That space is valuable! Not to mention horrible for your posture. The ability to tilt your keyboard at an angle, swivel, and hide under the desk surface are just some of the qualities that make them worth there weight in gold. My personal favorite is the padded wrist wrest standard on my ESI keyboard tray. It allows my palms to rest comfortably while I type at a much faster and accurate rate throughout the day. My WPM increase from 80 to 103 with the addition of the ESI keyboard tray.

Hopefully you will consider adding some inexpensive ergonomic office accessories to your office. The cost is minimal compared to the productivity gained and comfort level achieved.

File Cabinets vs. Mobile Filing System - What's the Solution for You?

2011-08-29T10:35:00.004-04:00

The key to office organization starts with utilizing the proper file cabinets for your individual needs. In today's world vertical file cabinets are rapidly becoming a thing of the past and lateral file cabinets have taken the rains as the most popular solution. But, are there other systems that may be a better solution for your needs? Yes!

Depending on the amount of files your business has on location a mobile filing system may be the solution for. Benefits of mobile filing styles include increased work space and file security. Typically file cabinets will take up a large part of any office. For companies with thousands of files this can take up ton of workspace. Mobile filing systems allow for mechanically assisted handles to roll your files together. This is a great feature because you don't have to have all your cabinets spaced out!

The ability to compact files together at the end of the day and lock them up ensures your clients security and decreases your companies liability. Mobile filing systems are available in several styles and attractive wood finishes that really enhance the look of a space when compared to standard metal file cabinets. For those looking to increase there usable workspace and file security, they are definitely worth a look!

Finished Lateral File Cabinets Enhance Your Space

2011-08-22T11:32:00.004-04:00

It's overly common in today's homes and businesses to see a variety of metal file cabinets. From vertical file cabinets to laterals, metal file cabinets have become a staple in most offices. As common as the cabinets themselves is the overwhelming desire to provide a more attractive option. Finding wood file cabinets with beautiful finishes seems impossible to some but I assure you they are available!

I think almost everyone would like to have a nice cherry-finished file cabinet with attractive pulls and adequate space as opposed to a standard black or tan metal file cabinet. That being said, wood file cabinets really enhance the look of the office. They provide a warming feel as opposed to the look of cold dark metal. Nothing against metal file cabinets here, especially ones that come in customer paint finishes. They hold up quite well, but in my opinion they offer nothing as far as aesthetics to offices.

Finding wood file cabinets to match your office is actually pretty simple. Doing a Google search for the color and style of cabinet you are looking for will pull you up several results. However, I suggest searching for the line or series of furniture you already have. Mayline for example offers lines like Luminary, Eclipse, Mira, and Sorrento that ALL have matching file cabinets. The best part is, the cost is nearly the same! You may pay $20 to $30 more per cabinet but overall you have enhanced your space without breaking the bank. Instead of an eyesore in the corner you now have a matching piece of office furniture, not just a file cabinet!

Tips for Buying Adjustable Office Chairs

2011-08-08T09:35:00.006-04:00

In the modern world many office spaces utilizes there desks for multiple workers throughout the day. Spaces like this require employees to constantly sit in different office chairs. While we all know, all office chairs are not created equal. Just check out the price tag on a new Herman Miller Aeron chair! For many, the price tag of these chairs is astronomical and simply un-reasonable. For that reason, I have put together some simple tips for buying adjustable office chairs on a budget.

First and foremost, adjustable office chairs are extremely important because they allow workers to utilize ergonomic features that will improve there productivity and efficiency in the workplace. Not being able to adjust your chair to your body type would be like driving your car with the seat all the way up for 8 hours at a time. It's simply uncomfortable and not healthy.

To keep the cost down on your adjustable office chairs the best tip is to contact a dealer directly. It is unwise to simply go online and purchase 20 to 30 office chairs without consulting the dealer first. Many office chair providers like ourselves offer bulk discounts, free shipping promotions, and clearance office chairs to save our clients money. Commonly dealers will generate coupons for your specific order to save you money. It is important to not overlook these opportunities for saving money.

To be honest, adjustable office chairs are a necessity in my opinion. However, if your employees are not committed to using the chair and understanding the functionality, there is simply no point in spending the money. That being said, it is ergonomically responsible to have a 10 minute power meeting to go over the chair features. Explaining how your chairs operate and how to get the most out of it is just as important as saving money. Too commonly, I see expensive chairs get purchased, and used at about a third of there potential. Many companies like us, will be more than happy to have a video conference to cover these features for free! Education is a huge part of the seating business and is rewarding as well.

Overall, adjustable office chairs will allow your employees the freedom and functionality to preform there everyday tasks with proficiency. Helping your company to choose chair functions, styles, and features wisely, while looking for ways to save money on the seating will make you look like a rock star in the workplace. Consider important features that relate to your work style, contact a reputable office chair dealer, and go from there. It's as simple as that! Best of luck to you all. Please feel free to contact us directly with any ergonomic office furniture and seating questions.

Ergonomics Q&A with Global Total Office

2011-07-06T09:40:00.003-04:00

The Global Group firmly believes ergonomics plays a vital role in contributing to the health and wellness in the workplace of today’s diverse population. That being said, we decided to visit Global's website, to find out there stance on ergonomics.

What is Office Ergonomics?

The study of the interactions between office workers and their work environments

What is the Goal of Office Ergonomics?

FIT the work environment and the tasks to the worker

What are the Benefits of Office Ergonomics?

* Reduced risk of injury
* Increased safety
* Increased comfort
* Increased productivity

What Does FIT Mean?

The first thought that often comes to mind when one thinks of the word FIT is physically fitting into the chair and workstation. There is more to FIT than accommodating physical size and shape. The concept of FIT also means your furniture allows you to move in and out of preferred postures and to perform your job tasks.

What are the Desirable Conditions of FIT?

Desirable conditions that should be met by your furniture to ensure a good FIT:

* Allows you to move both rhythmically and from one fixed posture to another
* Matches you physically
* Supports you and your tasks properly

FIT Conditions = Move + Match + Support

Move Condition of FIT

It has long been known that the human body was designed to move. The circulatory system, joints and spinal discs require movement for healthy functioning. As you move, your muscles help to pump blood through your body, which delivers nutrition to, and removes waste from, your tissues. In the absence of good blood flow, not only is food delivery reduced, waste products build up in your tissues that over time makes your muscles feel tired and sore. Movement also contributes to proper lubrication of your joints and proper nutrition of your spinal discs.

Even if you prefer fixed postures, or your tasks involve limited movement, you should change your posture as frequently as possible, even moving in and out of postures previously considered "bad" such as crossing your legs. The essential proviso is to avoid sitting in any one posture for long periods. Today's workplace design must emphasize this increasingly important need for movement.
Ask yourself questions about what you do when seated and your preferred postures. Some chair features are designed to allow the chair to move with you or rock for example Multi-Tilt action. Other features are designed to allow you to move from one static posture to another for example seat angle and back angle. Some workstations come with an articulating keyboard tray that allows you to change the position of your keyboard and mouse as you move from one posture to another.

Match Condition of FIT

Physically fitting into an office chair or modular workstation is often the first thought that comes to mind when people think of FIT, and perhaps is the easiest condition for a user to judge. You know when your feet are dangling, or if the seat feels too deep or if the work surface seems too high. When physical dimensions are accommodated it helps contribute to good blood flow by minimizing pressure points. Also furniture that is properly matched to your body helps minimize awkward or extreme postures, for example raised shoulders, thereby minimizing unnecessary muscular effort.

Some chairs come in different sizes to address population differences in body dimensions. Others offer adjustable features, such as seat height which allows you to match the seat height to your lower leg length. Some work surfaces are adjustable in height and others come with articulating keyboard trays, to allow you to match the keyboard tray height and mouse surface height to approximately the height of your elbow.

Support Condition of FIT

Proper support ensures proper alignment of the upper body, which includes the neck, shoulders and upper back. When these body parts are properly supported while performing tasks, the muscles are in the best position to aid breathing. If your lower back is not properly supported when seated, it either straightens or curves the wrong way.

Support for the lower back should allow the pelvis to be tilted slightly forward to ensure a natural lumbar curve in the seated posture. Stabilization of joints goes hand in hand with proper alignment. Well-designed and properly used furniture goes a long way to contributing to the support condition of FIT.

Chair features such as back/lumbar height, which allows you to position the lumbar support in the curve of your lower back, are designed to provide the support you need. Proper support for the equipment and materials you use throughout your workday helps minimize muscle fatigue and pain. Workstation features such as keyboard tray height, keyboard tray angle, mouse surface height and horizontal mouse position are designed to contribute to proper support

The History of The Worlds Most Respected Office Furniture Manufacturer

2011-06-29T10:09:00.004-04:00

Established in 1939 as the Engineering Supply Company, Mayline Office Furniture has come a long way from its expertise in DRAFTING TABLES, BLUEPRINT FILES and STRAIGHTEDGES. The war years capitalized on our high quality and precision manufacturing for providing highly accurate navigational and mapping accessories for all branches of the military. Though still a market leader in manual drawing (they invented the straightedge) and large format filing, Mayline has moved to the forefront of office ergonomics. They offer the market's largest and most diverse selection of MANUAL-ASSIST, COUNTERBALANCE and ELECTRIC SIT-TO-STAND WORKSTATIONS found anywhere.

In 1924, Tiffany Industries invented the typewriter stand, which is still sold today. With time comes changes in technology, and now they integrate people, tasks, and equipment to maximize productivity in their work environments. The first mid-market, modular workstation of its kind was introduced by Tiffany Industries in 1979 and helped people evolve along with their work environments. They are keenly attuned to product quality as well, and Tiffany Industries has had the longest running "Lifetime Guarantee" in the industry – since 1926 ! Today, there furniture solutions now include MODULAR WORKSTATIONS, TRAINING AND MEETING ROOM TABLES, as well as MOBILE PERSONAL COMPUTER STATIONS for small and home offices.

Founded in 1965, Kwik-File had humble beginnings with an owner who was primarily a regional dealer of office products, but with a unique idea for steel office organizers for desktop and flipper-door hutches. After manufacturing these products regionally for awhile, word spread quickly and it wasn't long before dealers in other parts of the country were demanding access to the unique features and space-saving benefits they provided. For the next twenty years, Kwik-File's product lines and market presence expanded dramatically, owing their success to being able to organize "paper flow" in the office more efficiently. Expertise in forms and literature storage led to mail sorting cabinets and eventually Kwik-File secured the dominant position in the marketplace for mailroom furniture. Today, MAILFLOW SYSTEMS, FORMS AND LITERATURE STORAGE, space-saving END-TABLE FILING CABINETS, and STACKABLE SHELVING, are just a few of the many products available from Kwik-File designed to improve information processing, storage and retrieval.

The newest and fastest growing division, Mayline Network Products, has spent the last five years providing security and organization to all types of networking and telephony environments. The strategy has always been to avoid the "one-size-fits-all" approach, which rarely helps customers achieve the proper solutions to their needs. Instead, Mayline Network Products always provides its clients with a "good-better-best" approach in order to meet the requirements and budgets established for any project. They offer a complete line of OPEN PLAN RACKING SYSTEMS and DATA CABINETS in a variety of aesthetics, configurations and in every price range. If they don't have what you need, they will try to build it, since customized electronic enclosures are a major part of what we do best. When the need is for RACKING SYSTEMS or ENCLOSURES for nearly every type of application in telecommunications, factory or office automation, networking or even Internet co-location, Mayline Network Products is the strategic partner for all mission critical applications.

Founded in 1914 as the Acme Card System Company, Mayline was the original manufacturer of visible record keeping equipment and accessories. To support the war effort during World War II, there was a brief change in product focus from visible record keeping products to ammunition boxes and radar parts, but then it was back to business. For over 60 years Mayline was the leader in record keeping supplies and in 1977, changed there name to Acme Visible Records, Inc. and entered the filing and storage cabinet market. Today Kwik-File Storage Systems offers the broadest range of the most economical and space-efficient HIGH-DENSITY FILING SOLUTIONS found anywhere. From the simplest of four-post shelving to ROTARY FILES, and both manual and electric MOBILE TRACK SYSTEMS, active and archival document storage is Mayline's expertise.

Princeton Office Furniture by Global

2011-06-17T13:35:00.004-04:00

Princeton is for a new generation that believes the office doesn't have to be 'the office'. It's more than just a new look, Princeton has a personality just like you. It's about making 'me' feel that I'm still me when I sit down for the day. You are never too young or too old to learn something new. Most desking products were conceived to build out from the wall (ie. the workwall) but Princeton office furniture builds out from 'you' and where you work. Makes sense when you think of it. And it does the wall thing too for those of us in transition.Princeton is about doing more with less space and less budget. How about a really great place to work in less than 50 square feet? And new ways of doing things like a bench that doubles as file storage. Rolling glass doors that reward the eye and the touch. And tight product map is easy to spec, easy to reconfigure and easy to manage.

Reviewing the Cherryman Ruby Collection RU-245N Executive Desk

2011-05-16T09:35:00.005-04:00

For those not familiar with the Cherryman furniture line, let me tell you. This stuff is awesome. First and foremost, the entire line is typically stocked. This means when you order, your furniture is usually shipped within 48 hours. Features like this make Cherryman an excellent choice for those in search of a dependable line of office furniture.

Today we will be reviewing the RU-245N executive desk from the Cherryman line. I recently had the pleasure of installing two of these units at an upscale business in Florida. After the install, I thought it was absolutely necessary to hype this line up!

The first thing you notice with Cherryman office furniture is the care they take in packing there products. All of the components shipped in unscathed and in perfect condition. Secondly, before installing I was a bit taken back by the beautiful wood finish. The Ruby furniture collection has an almost glossy look that really draws you end. I must say I think it would be a bit much for a home office, but absolutely perfect for any business looking to make a classy impression on there guests.

Myself, along with two additional installers had both units up and functional in about 2 hours. Our customers were absolutely thrilled with the craftsmanship of the Cherryman line. They vowed to never buy from another manufacturer if at all possible. I found this funny because there office looked like an eclectic conglomeration of different furniture manufacturers before the install!

In the long run, as long as our customers are happy, we are too. In this case it was just an added bonus that the furniture was so simply installed and well made. My favorite component of this workstation was definitely the wardrobe cabinet. It really added a nice feature to this ready made unit. Overall, my first installation experience with the Ruby furniture line by Cherryman was a success and I highly recommend this line.

The Ergonomic Employee - Products That Improve Office Productivity

2011-05-11T09:32:00.004-04:00

Comfortable and productive employees are often happier and more productive. When you combine those two factors your profit goes up. In today's post we will cover how providing your employees with quality ergonomic products will increase your profits and the overall efficiency of your people.

Typically, employees that are uncomfortable at there workstation are not happy, and being not happy means being non productive. Providing some simple ergonomic products like a keyboard tray, foot rest, and monitor arm, will actually pay dividends in the long run. Ergonomic tools like these are available for a minimal cost, and truly provide priceless results. In the long run, products like these will maximize the efficiency of your workforce and provide exponential gains.

Product 1: Keyboard Trays

Keyboard trays are available at almost every store we visit these days, and for good reason. They offer excellent ergonomic benefits for low price. With an average cost of approximately $150 it makes you wonder why millions of individuals are still sitting there keyboard on there desk surface. Utilizing a keyboard tray not only increases your amount of usable workspace, it allows you to adjust to a self-satisfying position for typing. Most models even allow you to swivel your tray back and forth for increased usability. That being said providing a quality keyboard tray to your employees will without a doubt increase there comfort level and your profits.

Product 2: Footrests

Footrests are useful at home and in the workplace. They provide lower leg and back support while sitting. The average cost of an ergonomic foot rest is around $35, for a model that is built to last. When you compare the minimal cost of the product vs. the 8 hour a day salary you are paying an employee to be working uncomfortably, this product definitely pays for itself! Quality foot rest manufacturers include Safco, ESI, and Systematix. They are easily accessible online from any office products dealer. They are one of the least expensive ergonomic products on the market and provide some of the best results. After all, everyone loves to put there feet up!

Product 3: Monitor Arms

Most individuals these days are still not up to speed on monitor arms. They are a new ergonomic trend that seem to be catching on worldwide. Last year our company OfficeAnything.com sold hundreds of these throughout the U.S. and are on pace to top last years number. The average cost of an ergonomic monitor arm is $200 and in my opinion the best $200 I ever spent. Monitor arms from companies like ESI, Systematix, and Symmetry are extremely versatile. They allow your computer screen to adjusted in nearly any direction. They also increase your usable workspace. Dual, Tri, and Quad screen monitor arms are available for those in technology intensive workplaces. When you add up all the time spent minimizing and maximizing multiple screens having a dual screen arm can be a huge time and money saver. On a side note, installing a monitor arm is extremely simple. It can be done in less than five minutes and will provide you with a lifetime of benefits. In my opinion, monitor arms are without a doubt necessary in any office. Once your try one, everyone in your office will soon be outfitted.

Overall, it is any good companies goal to maximize there workers productivity. Keeping your employees happy and comfortable is the key to this success. Hopefully you have found this post helpful and a way to increase your office efficiency. Other quality ergonomic products include office chairs, back rests, and copy holders.

Choosing The Perfect Office Chair

2011-05-09T09:28:00.003-04:00

Choosing the right office chair for your individual needs is an integral part of everyday comfort in the office. Commonly, individuals will search out the most attractive chair possible, leaving comfort at the door. This in turn leaves you with a nice looking chair that sits like a rock. In this article we will discuss the benefits of several types of chairs that will keep you sitting comfortably all day long.

Ergonomics is a word we here quite often these days, and for good reason. It deals with the relationship between workers and their environment. When dealing with office chairs ergonomics is essential.

When purchasing an office chair ask yourself the following questions:

1.) What back height is right for me?

Typically if you are between 5' and 6' foot tall a mid-back office chair is the right choice for you. If you are over 6' I personally recommend a high back chair to support your taller frame.

2.)What weight capacity does the chair support?

Most commonly, office chairs support up to 300 lbs. However, big & tall chairs usually support up to 500 lbs. Most chairs are available in a big & tall version for a slight price increase. Buying a chair that supports your frame will ensure a long life for the chair. Typically big & tall chairs feature wider seats, backs, and arms as well.

3.)What fabric grade is the chair?

Some companies such as Lesro offer a variety of fabric grades to fit individual needs. Typically the higher the grade, the higher the price. Most online chair stores will be happy to send out samples of any fabric at no charge to you. Typically grade 1 or 2 fabrics are just fine for everyday use.

4.)What Ergonomic features does the chair have?

This is the most important aspect to consider when buying a chair.

Common features include:

TENSION ADJUSTMENT

Increase or decrease to match body weight. Allows you to rock comfortably, without heavy pushing, reducing muscle fatigue.

CHAIR TILT LOCK

Lock the tilt movement in position(s) to accommodate your working posture. Allows you to lock your chair in a comfortable and supportive position. (can be either single position or infinite style).

SEAT HEIGHT

Raise or lower to allow your feet to rest flat on the floor. Avoids pressure under your thighs, easing blood flow.

SEAT DEPTH

Change the depth of the seat to accommodate the length of your thighs. Keeps your back in contact with the backrest while avoiding pressure behind your knees.

FORWARD SEAT ANGLE

Allows chair to tilt forward changing the angle of your thighs in relation to the floor. Helps reduce disc pressure during forward leaning tasks.

ARM HEIGHT

Raise or lower to support your forearms. Reduces muscular effort in neck and shoulders, minimizing risk of pain.

WATERFALL SEAT EDGE

Reduces pressure at the back of the knee, contributing to good blood flow.

How To Avoid Un-Necessary Shipping Costs when Purchasing Office Furniture

2011-05-02T10:42:00.005-04:00

Commonly, the most expensive hurdle to cover when purchasing office furniture is the cost of shipping. While there are many online office furniture dealers that offer free shipping, additional services including inside delivery, lift gate service, rural location, and others can cost you money. In this post we will cover some simple and easy methods to avoid these charges. After all, saving money is a good thing!

The first thing to consider after your office furniture purchase is shipment coordination. Commonly it will take any dealer a few days to receive, process, and hear from the manufacturer in regards to an estimated lead time for your products. If your facility has no dock, is in an upstairs office, and is located in a rural area. Additional shipping charges can arise. Upon receiving your tracking number, ask your office furniture provider what these costs are. Any friendly representative will help you out big time.

One tip that has saved many, is having a couple of able bodies available at the time of delivery. Most larger items are shipped knocked down or KD to help you avoid heavy lifting. This is a huge benefit when receiving items curbside and will save you money. Shipping companies don't normally advertise this info because they want you to purchase additional services.

For smaller items like office chairs, I always recommend taking the items off the truck yourself. Once the boxes are on the ground, open them. Typically most chairs will only require you to put the 5 star wheel base on. This takes all of about 5 minutes and you will be able to wheel your chairs inside, instead of carrying them. The common charge for inside delivery is about $100 - $150 depending on order size. A lift gate can run you another $100. By simply, placing the base on the chair outside you can wheel them in yourself and save your company big time!

Knowing your freight company is also an important factor in saving money. Items that ship UPS or FedEx are typically brought inside for you already. Ask your dealer to let you provide you with the freight company being used to see if they are offering any specials or shipping coupons on there website. Again, a little due diligence really pays dividends.

Overall, any good office furniture dealer will provide the shipping information to you as soon as possible. Our personal policy is to save customers as much time and money as we can, by eliminating un-necessary add-ons and shipping charges. Typically, we recommend these services for handicapped individuals, or elderly folks who truly require the assistance. At the end of the day, most customers do choose to carry items in themselves and thank us later for the money saved. Your average office furniture item weighs between 50 and 150 lbs. From desks to office chairs these items can be easily handled by one or two people. In this economy, save your money and use it for things that are truly necessities!

Three Tips for Maintaining Office Chairs

2011-04-11T11:02:00.003-04:00

In today's world purchasing an ergonomic and supportive office chairs is quite important. Being productive at work is essential and spending some extra money on quality office chairs is a great investment. With all the talk about what chairs to purchase and what chairs offer the most ergonomic benefits, how do you maintain your investment?

Often we are asked by customers for some simple tips to practice, that will ensure a long life for there office chairs. After all, why spend all that money on a chair and not take proper care of it. That being said, I have formulated a list of three simple tips that will help to extend the life of any office chair.

Tip 1.) Fabric Maintenance

Approximately once a month it is important to perform basic fabric maintenance for your chair. Leather office chairs are easy to maintain and common car leather products will work great. Using simple leather cleaners on your chair will ensure that the leather doesn't crack or fade will age. Practicing this tip will keep your chair looking fabulous for much longer. For fabric chairs, using a mild carpet cleaner with no ammonia will be acceptable. There are office chair cleaners on the market that work well. However, using a soft brush or sponge and household carpet cleaner will work wonders. Pen marks, stains, and most other imperfections will be erased quickly with a quick scrub. Overall, the longer you leave a stain, the harder they are to remove so keeping a bottle of cleaner in a desk drawer is ideal.

Tip 2.) Caster Maintenance

When purchasing office chairs, most individuals never consider the type of casters that are on the chair. It is important to consider what type of surface you will be using your chair on predominantly. For carpet, go with carpet caster. For wood or tile floors, go with hardwood casters. If you have already purchased your chair, do not fear! Simple maintenance can extend the life and quality of your casters. Once a year, it is beneficial to remove the casters from the base to clean and oil them. Rotate the wheels a few times to clean any debris (paperclips, tacks, and food are the most common). Leaving these items in your chair wheel can cause rust and damage. While your casters are removed, oil the wheel stem and replace. This will help to ensure your chair base and caster rotate and glide easily.

Tip 3.) Pneumatic Cylinder Maintenance

This tip may sound daunting, however it is quite simple. The first step is to remove the seat from the lift cylinder. To do this, simply place one foot on the chair base and pull up from the seat or arms. Once removed, place a few drops of oil or wd40 on your cylinder. Once oiled, place your chair base back on the cylinder, press down, and then sit in your chair to ensure the base has seated properly with the cylinder. Finally, adjust your chair height a few times to spread the oil properly through the cylinder.

Hopefully, these simple tips will come in useful. If you have not serviced your chair in years, don't worry. It's never too late to start. Most chairs are built to last. However, they are not built to operate properly forever without basic preventative maintenance. Best of luck to you all!

Innovative Office Chairs by Ergo Office Seating

2011-04-07T15:48:00.005-04:00

Ergo office seating is a new and relatively unknown brand. I recently had the privilege to sit in a few of these innovative chairs and I must say, impressed is an understatement.

First and foremost Ergo office seating produces a wide range of ergonomic office chairs including conference chairs, guest chairs, reception seating, and lounge furniture. Popular lines include the Monterey, Milan, Madrid, Florence, Capri, and Verona lounge chairs. These extremely comfortable office chairs feature quality ergonomic benefits like seat sliders, back angle, multi tilt, synchro tilt, knee tilt, back depth and much more. The majority of these features are standard on most models.

The chair I had the opportunity to try, was the EH6333A2 model Monterey executive chair. This ergonomic chair featured an eco leather seat and durable mesh back design. The first thing that caught my eye with this chair (other than the extremely low price tag of $461.00) were the arm handles. I was quite impressed at the accessibility to adjust the arm heights. Most chairs have buttons on the side of the arms that stick and are just not functional. Not this chair!

Secondly, upon sitting I noticed the ergonomic functions standard on the chair. These included:

2 to 1 synchro-tilt mechanism, 5 position tilt lock, Hand controls at the arm rest, Seat slider, Knee tilt, Adjustable lumbar support, Adjustable back pitch, Tilt tension control, Height adjustable pivoting arms, Pneumatic seat height adjustment, 60mm dual wheel casters, Molded foam black Eco leather (PU) upholstery seat, Elastomeric black mesh back, and Polished aluminum finish.

Did I mention these were the standard chair features??

In conclusion, I must say that of all the chairs I've set in recently, including high end Herman Miller and Global. This chair really held it's own. I can't wait to try out the Ergo Office Seating Florence series conference chairs this week. I will keep you guys informed. Thanks for stopping by!

Home Office Furniture Shopping and Space Planning

2011-04-06T10:26:00.006-04:00

Today, more and more people are choosing to work from home to save on fuel, rent, and other utilities incurred when operating an outside business. When working from home it is essential that a professional and effective workspace be set up to ensure that the quality of your business and individual productivity do not suffer.

The first thing to consider when planning a professional home office space is size. Going to large or too small will hinder your overall abilities and productivity. By measuring your space first, you can make an educated decision on the types of products and office furniture manufacturer that will best suit your individual needs.

After your space has been properly measured and mapped out, it's time for step two. I highly recommend shopping around your furniture manufacturer. Most office furniture dealers like myself, offer multiple home office furniture brands that should be considered. Manufacturers like Mayline, OFM, Global, and Office Star offer similar products that are all beneficial in there own ways. While they all offer home office furniture and brand like Mayline specializes in larger workstations while a brand like Office Star focuses on smaller computer desk type applications.

Once you have chosen a manufacturers style and design that fits your needs, the rest is quite simple and fun! Pick a finish you like and remember to consider some valuable ergonomic accessories like a monitor arm, keyboard tray, and ergonomic office chair. All are affordable and provide comfort and versatility throughout the workday.

Receiving and installing your new furniture can seem like a daunting task at times. Don't be afraid! Any furniture dealer worth there weight will schedule the deliver time around your schedule and we typically recommend having at least one person there to assist you with offload. Most executive desks come in several boxes and a dolly or hand truck comes in quite handy. Commonly truck driver will assist but they are not required to.

Once inside your home, the first step is to un-carton and locate the instructions. Office furniture from Manufacturers like the ones listed above commonly post instructional videos for home owners online which greatly help with installation. Most home office desks today require very minimal tools. A drill gun is always a plus but not necessary. Typically, entire Mayline executive desks can be assembled in around 2 hours with a Philips head screwdriver and not much more. Often decent tools are included in the products packaging.

Hopefully you have found this little post helpful. It is my wish and everyone at OfficeAnything Office Furniture's to assist users and readers in any way possible with the purchasing and installation of all things furniture related. Best regards!

Cherryman Conference Table Review

2011-03-17T12:35:00.004-04:00

Cherryman Office Furniture has been producing quality conference tables and conference furniture for years. This week I recently had the privilege of receiving and installing the Cherryman Ruby Collection Conference Table RU-252N at a local office in our home town.

First and foremost the table shipped in extremely secure with no damage. As anybody in the office furniture industry knows, freight companies sometimes cause damage to products. In this case, the conference table was packaged so securely that it could of been dropped twice and still been okay!

Secondly, the table was extremely easy to put together. I would most closely compare installation to a conference table from the Mayline Corsica series. And as you all know I'm a big fan of Mayline so comparing Cherryman conference tables to my favorite manufacturer really says a lot.

The table went up in approximately 30 minutes, including un-cartoning and removal of tools and materials. Upon completing the table it was really hard not to notice the stunning cherry finish and curved leg design.

Overall, our customers were thrilled and I'm happy to report that I will be suggesting Cherryman Office furniture quite a bit in the future. Being a stocking dealer of such quality products it's such a plus. Companies like Cherryman that ship products securely, offer simple installation, and fast shipping, really are on top of the office furniture game.

For those interested here are the specs of the table:
Dimensions: 48"D x 144"W x 29"H

Mayline Training Room Furniture Review

2011-03-14T10:31:00.005-04:00

The Mayline Group has been a manufacturer of quality training room furniture for years now. That being said, I recently had the opportunity to install quite a few Talon training tables and TSH1 training chairs at an educational facility and decided to write a review on the products.

Overall, my experience with the Mayline training room furniture was excellent. All 40 tables arrived in perfect condition, and assembly only took around 15 minutes per table. This is quite good by industry standards. The tilt top feature on the tables was extremely easy to use and adjust, and the large carpet casters made for easy mobility around the room.

Furthermore, I found that the table tops and legs were very well made and durable. The end users at the facility commented on just home much the tables and chairs enhanced there space. Overall I felt they loved the set up and I did too!

As for the chairs, it's the same story. The chairs came in packs of two which really helped keep the cost down for the customers. Also, they shipped in assembled with the exception of the casters, which just need to be pushed into place. The chairs were very comfortable and the chrome frame really set the whole look off! One thing I feel must be commented on is the quality packing job the factory did! There was virtually no way any of the items could have been damaged, which is always a plus.

In the the end, the end user was thrilled and we were too. I will highly recommend Mayline training room furniture to anyone in the market with pride! Several other lines are available that you may find right for you. These lines include the meeting plus tables, T-mate tables, and the TSH2 training room chairs. Best of luck to all, thanks for stopping by and reading the review.

The Benefits of an Ergonomic Monitor Arm

2011-03-09T14:41:00.005-05:00

Whether you use a computer at home or work, one thing we can all agree on is that we would love to have a little more versatility when it comes to the screen. Another, is that we would love to have some additional desk space. No matter how much room you have, more is always better! That being said, in the post we will cover a few simple benefits of adding an ergonomic monitor arm to your desk or workspace.

First and foremost, an ergonomic monitor arm is a versatile work tool. People who don't have one, usually don't think to add one. However, for those (like myself) that have purchased one, can't live without it. At first I asked myself what were the benefits. Once I installed it, I quickly realized that my life had changed! The benefits of these arms go far beyond what's in the post, but I would like to share a few.

The first benefit is the versatility. Ergonomic Monitor arms can clamp mount or grommet mount anywhere on any worksurface. These units install in around 10 minutes and are really a breeze. Monitor arms like the one shown allow you to move your screen closer or further away from the front of your desk. This is a real plus for near or far-sighted people who hate moving there whole computer back and forth to work. Secondly, the screen and arm can be moved in virtually any direction. If you work in an office where you show customers or patients your computer screen this is a huge benefit. The arm allows your screen to be literally turned straight at your desk as well. This is a great feature for graphic designers or artists of any kind. Lastly the cost of a quality monitor arm from companies like ESI, systematix, or Symmetry is extremely low. A single monitor arm will cost around $150.00 and will last a life time. Two screen, three screen, and all the way up to 8 screen monitor arms are available. From gamers to businessmen, this ergonomic tool is worth its weight.

Home Office Furniture VS. Business Office Furniture

2011-03-04T10:08:00.003-05:00

For those individuals who work from home, it is important to have a professional workspace not crowded with kids, personal phone calls, and general household clutter. That being said, we will discuss the simple needs for planning your home office effectively. We will cover simple needs regarding the style of office furniture that works most effectively at home in today's post Home Office Furniture vs. Business Office Furniture!

First, we must distinguish the difference between home office furniture and business office furniture. Home office furniture typically consists of everyday pieces like computer desks, computer chairs, and lateral or vertical file cabinets. Business furniture encompasses these pieces but in a larger, more efficient scale. Your typical business office will have a U-Desk configuration like the one shown in this post. Now, you may look at this picture and think that desk belongs in a home, and that's because it does. Confused? Don't be. The purpose of this post is to distinguish a happy medium between the two styles to effectively create a useful workspace at home!

When planning your space at home, the first thing to consider is how many people will be using it! Operating a business from home may require you to share your space for homework time, and general family computing. If this is the case, finding a workstation like the one pictured is ideal. Configurations like the one shown offer ample storage, and overhead hutch space. This is excellent because at the end of the day, you can simply file and store your work in a designated area. Commonly, individuals that work from home find themselves flustered due to lack of storage, and finding other housemates belongings all over the place. The problem, is usually not the housemates! You are most likely working at a typical home office computer desk that is too small and ineffective for your day to day tasks.

Finding the right products to enhance your home business productivity is simple. You basically just have to do some research. Find a company like Mayline that offers quality business furniture with a home office feel. This way, your home doesn't look like you should have cubicles in the living room! You will still get impressed looks from visitors without having to explain that "I run my business from home". So the answer to who wins in a battle of Home Office Furniture vs. Business Office Furniture?? The answer is the company that makes a product that bridges the gap between the two. I recommend checking out Mayline Office Furniture if you are in this dilema!

Simple Tips for Designing a Conference Room

2011-03-03T09:49:00.004-05:00

Designing a conference room can be a difficult task, whether you are trying to modify you existing design or build a whole new area. Deciding on new furniture for your conference space can be fun and actually quite simple. In this post we will cover some simple tips to make designing your new conference space a breeze.

The first two things that come to mind when purchasing any new furniture is; How much does it cost, and does it look good? When it comes to conference rooms it's no exception. Commonly I'm asked by consumers where to start when planning a conference area. My answer is always the same... the conference table.

It is important to focus the room around the center piece. In this case that is the conference table. When shopping for conference tables, the first thing that should be considered is the size. Ask yourself how many people you would like to sit, and measure your space accordingly. In reality, the most important thing is that your room is functional.

Once your space is measured and you have determined the necessary table size, it's on to the fun part. Shopping! There are several sites online that sell conference tables and furniture. One of the easiest ways to go is to find a conference room package. Such packages will include a table, some wall cabinets, and maybe even a bookcase and lectern. Shopping this way is quite smart. It ensures that all your pieces are from the same manufacturer and the wood finish on your products all much. Keep in mind just because two items from different manufacturers are in a cherry finish, it doesn't mean they will match!

Once you have found a package you like, there are a few more options to consider. The most important being can I receive this myself, or will I need help with installation. Commonly, consumers are a bit intimidated by the thought of installing a whole room of conference furniture. However, this is actually one of the most easy. Conference tables are normally in three pieces. The top, and two legs. Installing an entire room should not take more than a day. Two people would be ideal and could definitely save you some money on installation.

Lastly, consider if your conference table will require power. One nice feature from Global and Mayline conference tables is the ability to run power discretely through the table top to allow for laptop, or projector plug-ins. Features like this will instantly turn your conference room into a dual purpose room. This is always a good thing!

Hopefully you have found this post helpful. I'm always happy to discuss design ideas, and provide suggestions on quality furniture manufacturers. Best Regards.

Shopping For Modern Office Furniture On A Budget

2011-03-02T09:41:00.002-05:00

Modern office furniture is far and away the the most popular style of furniture in the industry. Often, the latest trends in this realm will be high priced due to the advanced technology. Let's face it, anything new, exciting, and cutting edge tends to cost consumers more of there hard earned money. That being said, I wanted to take the time to highlight some respected manufacturers that offer modern office furniture at affordable prices.

Some of the office furniture industries leading manufacturers consist of Mayline, Safco, and Office Star. When it comes to modern styling, these manufacturers strive to set trends. Not to follow them. Products by these respected companies are affordable, and offer quality craftsmanship, along with beneficial ergonomic features that will help improve your day to day productivity in the workplace. Mayline for example, has added some modern office desks to there economically priced Eastwinds furniture series. The desk shown on this post is from that series, and is priced at $139.99. On this desk you will notice the curved, sleek leg design found on most high priced modern office desks. Truly, this desk is one of the greatest bargains for those shopping for a modern piece of office furniture for there home.

The Safco Office Products and Office Star Furniture lines are not to be left out. They are currently offering a wide variety of modern office chairs and computer desks for the home, dorm room, or small business. These items are eye catching and best of all affordable. Finding products from these manufacturers is actually quite simple. Most any vendor worth there weight will carry products from all three. Often, these products can even be found with free shipping.

In closing, having a modern office desk in your home does not have to cost a small fortune. You can still have the wow factor of a cutting edge desk or chair for under $200. You just have to do a little research and find the right manufacturer for your individual style.

Shopping for Studio Designs Drafting Furniture

2011-03-01T09:06:00.005-05:00

Studio Designs is an up and coming drafting furniture line ideal for homes, students, and small business owners. Their products are well made and quite affordable. That being said I wanted to take the time to express some of the useful features consumers will find if purchasing products made by Studio Designs.

Far and away the most popular Studio Designs products are from the Futura Craft Series of drafting products. So for this reason we will focus on them! The first thing you will notice is the tempered blue glass top. With a price tag well under $300 this is a huge bonus. Additionally you will notice features like a height adjustable top and an ample variety of storage compartments for holding art supplies. All together the Futura craft stations have 5 different storage areas. These areas are under the top, both sides of the table top, center drawer, and left or right side storage box. You will not find this much storage on many of the higher priced tables on the market.

Not to be overlooked is the stylish bow leg design that offers a modern feel and attractive light blue paint scheme. This look is why I feel the table is so popular. they truly are head turners and versatile craft stations as well.

That being said Studio Designs offers a host of other quality drafting products including a variety of comfortable and cost effective stools that will help to improve your day to day productivity. Studio Designs stools are priced around the $200 mark and in my opinion, this is a bargain! Our company has offered Studio Designs products for around two years now and we have had literally 0 problems in terms of shipping, product damage, or customer service. Studio Designs really goes above and beyond in terms of shipping products quickly, and ensuring that all of there customers are satisfied with there drafting products. Slowly but surely they are making an excellent statement in the drafting industry and should not be over looked by those in the market for a new drafting table or craft station.

Choosing Green Office Furniture Can Be Cost Effective

2011-02-28T10:16:00.005-05:00

Many people shopping for new office furniture today are commonly looking to go green. However, the inexperienced shopper often finds themselves believing that GREENGUARD Certified office furniture will cost them more out of pocket. This is incorrect in several ways.

In today's market GREENGUARD office furniture includes everything from conference desks to reception stations. Finding GREENGUARD Certified furniture can be quite simple if you know the manufacturers to look for. Sites like ours, OfficeAnything.com, offer a host of products from industry leading manufacturers, who pride themselves on paving the way for the green office products movement. Companies like Mayline Office Furniture, Global Total Office, and Safco offer hundreds of quality Green office products. Furthermore, these items are just like any other, with one huge exception! They have passed GREENGUARD Certification tests to be considered environmentally friendly. Products such as these can and will improve your indoor air quality significantly.

Basically what I'm getting at is that there is literally no extra charge to have a piece of green office furniture. The manufacturer has taken the time to have the items certified, makes the necessary changes in the products production, and provides the certified item at no additional cost! That being said, there is really no reason not to go green wherever possible. Now, I'm not saying that there aren't companies out there up-charging for green products. However, most do not. Finding a quality dealer that provides furniture from the companies stated above will go a long way. It will save you money and help you, help everyone! Considering that we have proven green office furniture costs the same as non-green, why wouldn't you help reduce our environmental footprint, and improve our air at the same time. To me, it's a no-brainer.

Waterfall Seat Edge - An often overlooked feature, this reduces pressure at the back of the knee, contributing to good blood flow.

Contoured Cushions - Greatly helps support the body, effectively allowing you to sit longer without discomfort.

Center-Tilt - This features allows you to Tilt from a pivot point under the seat, and enhances blood flow.

With common knowledge of these chair features you can be quite educated when purchasing your next office chair. Furthermore, if you are missing some or all of these beneficial ergonomic features, then it might be time to upgrade your chair to a model from the Global Total Industries line. Global chairs are affordable and offer very high levels of comfort. Trust me, you will see a difference. Experiencing the problems that these features resolve is un-acceptable. Long term pain and dis-comfort can occur from sitting in an inadequate office chair for extended periods of time. Best of luck to you all!

Traditional Office Furniture is Always in Style

2011-02-22T09:10:00.002-05:00

With all of the latest styles and trends in modern office furniture, I thought it would be nice to do a post on the more traditional office furniture from companies like Mayline. While Mayline is a leader in the modern office furniture realm as well, for those looking for that timeless style of traditional wood office furniture they are an excellent choice. One great thing about traditional office furniture is that it never seems to go out of style. No matter the current trends, your always going to turn heads with that classic look.

Take a popular series of traditional furniture like the Sorrento series by Mayline. The Sorrento veneer desking system is a transitional line of wood office furniture for executive offices, individual work spaces, conference rooms and reception areas. This line combines a high end look and technology-friendly features. Sorrento uses AA-grade North American Hardwood veneers throughout. The first thing you notice when you see this line is the bourbon cherry finish with bird's eye maple inlays. In one word, beautiful!

To wrap this up, styles in modern office furniture are always changing. You see a new futuristic desk or chair come out every day. To me these styles are very cool and push the industry standard. For my money however, I prefer the look that I know will stand the test of time.

Mayline Stella Series 8' Conference Table SKC8

2011-02-10T09:23:00.003-05:00

I recently had the chance to check out the SKC8 Stella conference table by Mayline in person. I must say I was quite impressed. The first thing that caught my eye was the stunning AA-grade Birch Hardwood Veneer Toffee finish. The rich wood grain and toffee stain compliment each other quite nicely. Secondly upon installation I found that the table was both easy to assemble and quite sturdy. For a table that measures 96"W x 48"D you would think it would be tough to handle. However, with two people we unloaded the table and installed it in less than an hour. What's really nice is that along with the entire series of Stella conference tables, there is a wide variety of other Stella products by Mayline including reception stations, executive desks, and even other conference furniture. I highly recommend the Stella series of office furniture by Mayline, and knowing that it is all GREENGUARD Certified is just an another added plus!
