10 Incredibly Cool Conference Rooms

For most businesses, conference rooms need to be a delicate balance of sophistication and style. They need to reflect the purpose of a company, respect for guests and visitors, and they need to be outfitted with the right materials for presentation and idea planning. Now, of course, mastering all of these things can be an enormous challenge, but with the right inspiration, decorating your new conference room will be a snap. Here's some great conference furniture for sale to help get you started!

First up, we give you a table that's the perfect blend of modern style and sensibility.

Available in nine sizes, the Alba Laminate Table fits just about anywhere, and makes a prefect compliment to boardrooms, training areas, and discussion or presentation rooms.

However, as in the conference room seen here, it helps if there is plenty of lighting and colors to make the room stand out. Additional glass accents like vases would help to unify the room.


In a conference room with colored walls, the ACTB8 Aberdeen Conference Table by Mayline always makes a nice addition. Available in two beautiful finishes with optional power outlets, the ACTB8 table features a smooth, solid exterior to compliment a contemporary space. Here, it is featured with what is likely the Mayline AVPB Brighton Presentation Board on the wall.

Top 7 Lobby Makeover Mistakes

Furniture installations are always a big project. With the space planning, the shopping, and the delivery,  a lot can go wrong, so it's always best to know what you're getting into before any problems arise. Most first-time lobby interior designers underestimate the mistakes that can go down, and they end up paying the price for it later, either in hard work, or out of their pockets. Lucky for you, today's post is all about the  most common mistakes made by interior lobby designers. Study up, and stay ahead of the game!

1.) Forgot to Measure Properly

Any woodworker will tell you "measure twice, cut once," and this is true for design work too. Measuring is perhaps the single most important part of decorating any interior space, especially lobbies. If a lobby isn't properly measured and the furniture layout planned, shoppers can make costly mistakes by buying too much or too little furniture, or even damaging their walls upon installation. Be sure to take careful measurements of the lobby's interior before purchasing the furniture, making note of entry ways, power outlets, windows, and other permanent obstacles. This way, designers can be more aware of what furniture will fit in the space and where it could go before they buy it.

2.) Didn't Inquire About Bulk Pricing

Now that you've measured your space, it's time for the fun part - shopping! Shopping can be one of the most enjoyable parts about interior decoration… except when you have to pay. With rooms like lobbies, reception areas, and waiting rooms that usually require a lot of large, comfortable lobby seating for guest use, furniture can get very, very expensive. A single sofa can easily cost upwards of a thousand dollars and still not be enough seating for the space, not to mention the tables, decor, and reception desk that may also need to be included. Too often, buyer's settle for a higher price where they don't need to. That's why it's never a bad call up the dealer and see if they'll offer you a bulk discount. It's a quick way to get a lot, and save a ton!

3.) Paid for Shipping

Any respectable furniture dealer will recognize that shopping big for lobbies is a huge pain for their customers. As dealers and manufacturers, it's their job to make your experience as painless as possible, which is why most large furniture orders qualify for free shipping. Things like large lobby sofas with leather upholsteries can get expensive enough without having to pay for shipping. Before you buy the lowest priced product, be sure to check the store's delivery companies and shipping rates.You may find out that another company with a higher sell price on that lounge chair is actually much more affordable if you account for shipping rates. Never be afraid to contact the dealer to ask.

4.) Didn't Use Comparison Shopping Engines

Okay, so maybe you don't like to shop, and are perhaps a bit new to the whole experience. However, that doesn't mean you don't have the right to save money. With the prices that stylish lounge furniture sets for lobby use can get to these days, it's definitely worth a few seconds of your time to check out a comparison shopping engine. Websites like Google Shopping, Bing, and several apps provide an easy-to-use, free service that compares prices for the same product from all over the web. This helps ensure that buyers get the best deal possible. Simply enter the name or the product code of the furniture item you want, and the shopping engines will find you the best deal out there!

5.) Didn't Schedule Furniture Delivery

Picture this: So you're hard at work behind the reception desk. Your lobby guests are absently flipping through magazines, observing the fish tank, or filling out clipboards, when all of the sudden, a hoard of sweaty guys burst in with your new fabric guest chairs for lobby and no place to put them. Awkward! 
Furniture deliverers work hard to bring buyers new furniture without damage, but it's not exactly the best example for your business if they show up unannounced with no free space to set your stuff. That's why it's super important to set a day for furniture delivery. It may inconvenience you for a few hours to close up shop or divert guests while the deliverers do their job, but it's far better than having patrons give you that frightened "what's happening" look.

6.) Forgot To Prep Area

If you forgot to schedule delivery, most likely, you've probably forgotten to prep an area for the new furniture to go. Furniture installations can be a breeze or a nightmare. Those who prep reap all the rewards of planning ahead while those who don't suffer the consequences. Before the furniture arrives, make sure you've removed old furniture, designed a layout, and that you've got people to help you set it all up (if the delivery service doesn't provide that). Also, because modern tables for waiting room and lobby use are typically followed by a train of chairs, accents, and lamps, and you can't predict the order in which they'll be unloaded, it's imperative to create a staging area. This is a place where the new stuff can sit while heavier furniture is installed first.

7.) Underestimated Clean Up

So, you may be thinking that the job is done when the new furniture is all set up and the deliverers have gone, right? It makes sense, but you'd be making another terrible mistake. All furniture installations are messy, especially lobby installations. Lobbies often require chairs, popular curved desks for office reception, sofas, and tables of all different sizes. If you bought new, those things will be wrapped up, and that creates a mess. Be sure to prepare yourself for plenty of debris after set up, including cardboard boxes, plastic, bubble wrap, packing peanuts, and other post-officey things. Try to anticipate the amount of debris ahead of time. Don't get caught with a full dumpster and no place to put any extra waste.

6 Tips for A Successful Conference Table Installation

Purchasing a new conference room table for your business can be a fun an exciting process. However, when most reach the installation process, fear begins to set it. In today's article we'll provide tips, tricks, and professional advice on how to make your conference room installation process a breeze.

1.) Assess Your Needs

Successful office furniture installation projects begin before furniture is ever purchased. By assessing your specific business needs you'll be on the right track to save time and frustrations once your furniture arrives. Start by measuring your space effectively. Be sure to notate all power outlets, entry ways, and windows. Rest assured, nothing is worse than purchasing a new table for your meeting area only to have it not fit properly! Next determine the number of guests you wish to accommodate and and plan your layout accordingly. By taking the time to assess your needs and create a plan you're already ahead you've set yourself up for boardroom success!

2.) Schedule Delivery

It's incredibly important to schedule your furniture delivery whenever possible. This important step provides the date you'll want to have your area prepped and ready by. Speak with your conference table provider directly to arrange for tracking to be emailed as soon as possible. With tracking in hand you'll be able to contact the specified freight carrier to arrange a delivery window and date the works for your business.

3.) Prep Your Area

Once you've scheduled delivery of your new conference room furnishings, it's important to take the necessary steps needed to ensure your space is properly prepped. First you'll want to clear our current furniture a few days in advance to create a neutral canvas to begin the installation process with. With your old furniture removed, it's time to create a staging areas to rest your new products once they arrive. Being well organized and prepared is the most important part of any installation small or large.

4.) Have The Right Tools for The Job

As your furniture delivery is probably right around the corner, it's best to know what tools will help you get the job completed in a timely fashion. With the right tools a well organized installation should take around 1 hour with two people. While some of the high quality meeting tables for sale in 2014 actually include tools, the check list below is a good reminded of items you should have on hand to make for a smooth install.

Helpful Conference Table Installation Tools Include:

• Box Cutter
• Philips Head Screwdriver
• Flat Head Screwdriver
• Cordless Drill
• Set of Allen Wrenches
• Furniture Sliders or Dolly

4.) Teamwork Counts

When your conference table arrives you should be ready and prepared to receive it effectively. A 3 person installation team is ideal for receiving new furniture and installation it properly. While two people carry or guide furniture dolly's containing new products, one team mate spots and directs movements down hallways to prevent unwanted scuffs. Keep in mind that unless you've arranged for inside delivery services with your dealer, you'll be responsible for getting your products off the delivery vehicle and into your space. Having a team of coworkers to assist with the process will make for a save and productive installation.

5.) Work Smart

It's not secret that small and large conference tables are quite heavy. That being said, when assembling your new piece it's essential to work smart and safe. Start by uncartoning your products and saving the largest section of cardboard. Table finishes are often delicate and resting the top face town on a the packaging materials is recommended to prevent unwanted scratches. With your table top flipped over you'll have easy access to the pre drilled holes necessary to attach the table bases. By building your table upside down you'll prevent heavy lifting and potential damage to your back. Once complete, simply flip your table over and place it in the desired position.

6.) Prepare for Debris

With any large furniture purchase comes plenty of packaging materials that will need to be disposed of. Be sure to notify your building management officials of your installation. In many cases they will arrange to help you will debris removal by arranging for an empty dumpster for your waste. Be sure to break down boxes to the best of your ability and use trash bags for bubble wrap and other pieces from the project that need to be thrown out. Once your area is clean, it's time to kick back and enjoy your new table. Happy meetings!

5 Reasons Why An Ergonomic Keyboard Tray is Right For You

In the past ten years, ergonomic keyboard trays have transformed the workplace. Users experience improved practicality and health, but in exactly what ways? While manufacturers always seem to advertise the benefits of keyboard platforms, few ever list the truth of what they do for people. Well, we're here to do it for them. For those of you who don't keep these helpful, healthful devices around, here's a few reasons why you should!

Increased Desk Space

One of the most important and most obvious benefits of keeping adjustable ergonomic keyboard trays for desk use around is that they increase space. By mounting underneath the desk, often on retractable sliders, keyboard trays can be moved conveniently out of the way when they aren't in use. Without them taking up a good one to two feet of desk space, users get more room to work, read, and write. For those that go the extra mile and add monitor arms with adjust to their computers, they also get the added benefit of a versatile computer screen to reduce eye strain and neck pain. Combined, the desktop is finally the user's again!

Improved Computing Speed

Even if keyboard trays don't directly improve computing speed on a digital level, they certainly do on a practical one. Most users of retractable keyboards find that they can type fast because they tray is at arm level rather than on top of the desk. Keyboard trays that make use of mouse platforms are the most efficient because users don't have to switch between the desk and the keyboard to click. It's part of what makes them one of the most essential office accessories for computer users.

Better Posture

In addition to modern leather office chairs with ergonomic features, keyboard trays do wonders to improve posture, which, in the office, can make all the difference in the world. Too many common office aches like neck pain, back pain, muscle cramps, poor circulation, and joint pain are all caused by terrible posture. Overtime, these things may lead to serious ailments like spinal deformities, which is why chairs and keyboard trays are so vital to preventing serious health injuries. Keyboard trays usually stretch out to reach the chair's occupant rather than forcing the occupant to reach. This prevents users from slouching and gently guides them back into the chair so they can receive the full spectrum of ergonomic benefits provided by their office.

Adjustment Capabilities

Keyboard trays are some of the most efficient ergonomic products for office use to keep around because they are highly adjustable. Like high end ergonomic chairs, keyboard platforms typically make use of tilts and rotating features for maximum capability. They are highly recommended for the elderly as well as anyone with arthritis, joint pain, or poor circulation in their hands. Keyboard trays with more adjustments can be manipulated so that the forearms are kept at right angles to the upper arm, and the hands and wrists are parallel to the forearms to improve circulation overall. This helps to alleviate the pain caused by inflammation and arthritis so users can type with reduced or eliminated pain!

Reduced Risk of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

For anyone that works with their hands all day, carpal tunnel syndrome (or CTS) can be devastating. It can lead to weakness, pain, numbness, and crippling muscle damage in the wrists and hands, and it is caused by typing with long periods without enough breaks. Needless to say, it's a terrible syndrome for computer users, as well as avid gamers. Fortunately, ergonomic keyboard trays are one of the best solutions to this problem. Accessories like the ESI SOLUTION-5 Keyboard Tray are expert CTS preventers, offering high adjustablility like a precise tilt, 360-degree rotation, a mouse platform, and a palm rest.

Are You Maximizing Your Ergonomic Potential?

All too often, people will spend hundreds on ergonomic furniture and still wonder what is wrong. "Why do I still have back pain?" "Where is the efficiency?" "Ergonomic furniture is just a bunch of hokum!" These are all popular statements for people that aren't reaping the full rewards of their ergonomic furniture, but the good news is, it's not the furniture. Decades of intense study can go into the design of a single chair before it's rolled out to the public. If you spent a bundle on ergonomic furniture but aren't seeing the rewards, try asking yourself these questions to improve your experience.

Are You Adjusting Your Chair Regularly?

Like the working world, the human body is constantly changing and adapting to new situations. If you don't notice your ergonomic chair working right away, it may be because you never adjusted it to suit your needs to begin with. In the office, quality executive chairs with ergonomic features are precision instruments. The more high end a chair is, the more is expected of you. Ergonomic chairs will do wonders for back pain, joint problems, and anything else they advertise as long as the user holds up their end of the bargain - to use the chair. This means more than just sitting. This means actively working with your chair for the best your body can receive, and that includes adjusting it as your muscles change and heal. Take the time every few weeks to reexamine your seating experience, and make sure you are using your chair. Leaning forward to work on a computer takes you away and ruins your purchase. As your body heals with your new chair or you add new activities to your daily routine, adjustments should be made for maximum comfort and efficiency.

Are You Maximizing Desk Space?

If ergonomics is all about improving productivity and efficiency, you may be wondering why you aren't working faster. The answer is usually one of simple practicality. An ergonomic chair will do wonders for back pain but it likely won't make you work faster and more efficiently. That task falls to a different product entirely. Adding ergonomic keyboard trays for computer use to the office greatly maximizes desk space, which is one of the fastest ways to a faster office. Ergonomic keyboard trays mount underneath office desks and can adjust to meet your unique needs. People with joint pain love them because they no longer have to reach up to the desk to type, which brings us to another point! Keyboard trays maximize desk space. By staying out of the way, they leave the desk open for important things. This way, users can use the desk for what it's for without having to wiggle around searching for a place to write. Desk, computer, keyboard, papers, it's all right there in front of you!

Are You Using a Monitor Arm?

For a product that's useful to almost anyone who works in an office, monitor arms are some of the most underrated products out there. Oftentimes, people will wonder why their new ergonomic chair hasn't solved their back and neck problems, and the answer is, they aren't using it. Instead of sitting back, they're straining forward trying to see a computer screen. Because of this, monitor arms can improve work experience tenfold. They work by mounting to a wall or desk and attaching a computer screen to a long adjustable arm that can stretch out and tilt, so the user doesn't have to strain their body trying to see the screen. Quality adjustable monitor arms improve health by relieving back pain, eye strain, and other problems caused by an inefficiently placed computer screen. Dual screens increase computer desktop work area and improve work rate. They're perfect for anyone who is near or far sighted. As an added plus, they also help maximize desk space!

Is Lighting an Issue?

Lighting can be an issue on both ends of the spectrum with some users receiving either too much light or too little. Eye strain is one of the most common problems in the workplace, and it's usually associated with computers. However, the human eye can only handle so much light. People who work in a bright office with a bright computer screen are overloading their eyes, causing pain. The best way to solve this is by dimming the blinds or dimming the brightness of your computer screen in the settings (which also conserves power!) On the other hand, workers who receive too little light are also damaging their eyes. Too often, people in public business environments will settle for less light, thinking they have no control over the company. However, there are tons of discount office lighting for sale for those that look. Desk lamps, task lights, and under mount lights can change the whole look of stylish office desks with glass or wood surfaces, and they also reduce eye strain for a more productive work experience.

Did You Get the Right Product?

Sometimes maximizing efficiency is all about knowing what to buy. As effective as a keyboard tray is, it likely won't do much if you're hoping to see your computer screen better. The best way to identifying the ideal ergonomic solution is to identify the problem first. Ergonomic products are specifically designed to deal with different individual needs. Chairs like the 6671-2 Arti Series Synchro Knee Tilter Chair by Global may be created with articulating joints to alleviate back pain, while ergonomic keyboard trays are better for joints in the hands, wrists, and arms. If you know what problems you want to solve, you have a much better chance of determining the right product for yourself. Also, never be afraid to call up your furniture dealer to ask for a recommendation or an exchange. As a dealer, it's their job to know the best ergonomic products for different specific needs. Chances are, you'll get exactly the product your looking for, and perhaps even a great deal!
