Office Q & A: Advice For Conference Table Shoppers

Conference Room Remodeling AdviceWhen shopping for new office furniture of any kind, it's best to ask questions before making your purchase. That being said, in today's post we'll be answering the most commonly asked questions by conference room table shoppers. The advice in today's post should help our readers make informed purchasing decisions. As always, our goal is to ensure you love your interiors. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to comment! We're here to help.

Q: Where do I start?

Every furniture shopper wants to know where and how to start their project effectively. We give the same answer every time we're asked. All professional remodeling and makeover projects start with proper space planning. Start by obtaining the perimeter dimensions of your conference room. Take note of all entry ways, windows, load bearing members, and room obstructions that will affect the way your furniture fits. If you don't have accurate dimensions from the start, you won't know what size table will fit properly in your space. No matter what, don't guess! It always leads to trouble. If you need help getting your room dimension, ask the pros. You can usually handle the task yourself with nothing more than a tape measurer, pencil, and paper.

Q: How long do conference tables take to ship?

The answer to this question will vary depending on the manufacturer of the conference table you select. That being said, in stock tables will typically ship out from the factory within 2 business days of order. They'll usually be in transit for about 5 more days. Made to order conference tables take a little bit longer. You'll be looking at about 3 to 5 weeks for manufacturing. Transit times will be about the same.

Q: What manufacturers are best? 

We always recommend going with a reputable brand with great reviews. You can't go wrong with any of the big 3. Mayline, Global Total Office, and Cherryman Industries offer fantastic conference tables for modern and traditional interiors. These brands offer the full service collections needed to maintain a cohesive look between your interiors. This means, your new modern conference table can also match the desks, reception stations, and accent furniture in your private office.

Q: What finishes are best for my space?

You can go with classic finish options like cherry, maple, and mahogany as they will always have a place in the furniture world. On the other hand, trending finish options are always hitting the market. This year, gray wood grain tones have been incredibly popular. Mayline's Medina collection offers a finish called Gray Steel that should definitely be considered by any shopper looking to keep their interior on the cutting edge. We also love popular finishes like Absolute Acajou from Global Total Office and Espresso from Cherryman Industries.

Q: How many guests will fit at my table?

There's a simple formula you can use to determine how many guests will fit around your table. Take the overall length of your table, divide it by three, and multiply the answer by 2. In a nut shell, you'll want to leave about 3' of table space for each person. This ensures they can operate comfortably in their chair. So essentially, a 12' conference table will accommodate 4 guests per side. Depending on table shape, you can also add guests on the ends if additional conference seating is needed.

Q: Is it hard to assemble a conference table?

Hard, no. Heavy, yes! Conference table assembly is pretty basic. In most cases you'll simply be attaching the table legs to the surface. We recommend laying down a no abrasive surface, like a blanket. Flip the table top over on to the surface to prevent scratches. Attach the legs to the top, and flip the table over. Definitely have at least 2 helpers on hand to avoid straining the back!

Q: Which models are best sellers this year? 

This year, powered conference tables have been the way to go. We mentioned brands like Global Total Office, Mayline, and Cherryman Industries above for a reason! These industry leaders take pride in crafting cutting edge powered conference tables that will no about help you and your business streamline the meeting process. Powered conference tables can be equipped with phone, ethernet, HDMI, USB, and audio input options to meet your specific needs. Additionally, boat shaped tables,  elliptical top tables, and modular conference table sets have also been trending. As businesses look for new ways to make their interiors stand out from the competition, hybrid shapes like these have become super popular.

Q: What are the best ways to save money on a new conference table?

We love to help our readers save big, so we threw this question in! There's lot's of great ways to extend your budget when conference table shopping. Start by visiting comparison shopping engines like Google Shopping. Here you'll be able to sort through tables from a variety of brands. You'll also be able to determine which dealers provide free shipping. This alone will help you save a bundle! Before you complete the checkout process, be on the look out for a coupon entry field. If you see one, take the time to checkout popular sites like Tjoos.com and RetailMeNot.com. Most of the top furniture providers online list their coupons at these respected sites. If you can't find an active coupon, give your dealer of choice a call. It never hurts to ask for a good deal! You can also inquire about any current specials, promotions, and closeouts they may be featuring this month.

Chair Compare: iOO vs. Wau

Wau Chair by EurotechiOO Chair by EurotechThis year, Eurotech Seating discontinued their popular Wau chair collection. They gave us the iOO seating line as a replacement and we couldn't be more excited. Sure the Wau had wow factor, but the iOO is the full package! In today's post we'll review these two collections to highlight why you shouldn't fret over the loss of the Wau. Rest assured, the iOO is here to stay and these chairs mean business!

Style:

At first glance, you may find that these seating solutions look eerily similar as both the iOO and Wau chair collections are distinctively modern. The Wau reigned supreme for many years with it's futuristic curves, contemporary frame colors, and full mesh seating surfaces. In our opinion the iOO tops the look of the Wau as it's exposed rear spine, metal 5 star base, and same great mesh seating surfaces work together to put it in a league of it's own. There's nothing like it on the market! Both of these chairs no doubt earned interiors positive compliments on a daily basis, but the iOO has that extra touch of luxuriousness that gives it the edge!

Ergonomics:

When it comes to comfortable office chairs, Eurotech knows best! This industry leader takes pride in crafting cutting edge office seating equipped with the adjustable ergonomic features needed to reach peak performance levels in the workplace. The Wau chair boasted adjustable arms and a variety of user friendly tilting features that made finding desired operational positions a breeze. The high back Wau chair boasted a fixed mesh headrest that was a nice addition for taller users. On the other hand, the iOO represents the pinnacle of chair evolutions according to Eurotech. We couldn't agree more! The iOO offers wider seating surfaces, multi functional arms, the same great tilting features, and a naturally pronounced lumbar area. Check out the full list of ergonomic attributes below!

iOO Chair Features:

  • Tilt Tension Control
  • Tilt Lock
  • Back Angle Adjustment
  • Synro-Tilt
  • Seat Height Adjustment
  • Waterfall Seat
  • 2.8" Ratchet Back Height Adjustment
  • Seat Depth Adjustment
  • Width Adjustable Arms
  • Arm Height Adjustment
  • Swivel Arms
  • Arm Depth Adjustment

Applications:

The iOO and Wau office seating collections from Eurotech are extremely versatile. Both of these chairs are ideal for computing and tasking applications. The Wau chair's slimmer frame made it a better option for the conference room. The iOO's expansive dimensions and luxurious design characteristics make it a better option for professional executive environments. That being said, there's not too much you can't do with these chairs. The application round is a tie!

Critiques:

Our main critique of the Wau collection was that the seat and back were a bit restricting. Larger chair operators had a hard time fitting comfortably into the Wau. This made extended sits a bit challenging. Eurotech also wanted the Wau chair to be light weight. This caused them to use a lot of plastic components. While we've never heard about durability issues with the Wau, we'd certainly prefer metal to plastic. The iOO is currently available in only 2 color combinations. We'd like to see Eurotech offer fully upholstered fabric and leather iOO models like they did with the Wau collection. As the iOO line has only been out for a year, we expect those options might still be in the works. Last but not least, both of these chairs are rather expensive. They are definitely high end and at a price point where leather chair models are available. When you start talking about chairs over five hundred bucks, mesh may not be the surface your expecting to receive. That being said, both the iOO and Wau are incredibly durable and comfortable. They provide top notch supper that's sure to be appreciated by any user.

Final Thoughts:

The Wau mesh chair was a best seller in it's day. It will surely be missed. Thankfully, Eurotech has provided us with a superior seating solution. The iOO provides a more comfortable and supportive sitting experience. These chairs represent years of dedication and technology in the workplace. Euroteh has truly outdone themselves with this new line. After generations of development, the iOO delivers as a sleek, powerful product that's well refined and clearly demonstrates Eurotech's obsession with perfection. Take a sit in the iOO and you'll never settle for anything less.

This is yet another product you'll wonder how you ever lived without.
