Office furniture can play a big role in the effectiveness of your employees throughout the course of a work day. Providing a comfortable environment will most likely improve employee productivity and efficiency. A well organized office work space will bring a positive and enthusiastic attitude to your all of your employees. Having a presentable and updated office work space will also help attract new potential employees. 

If you are looking to give your workplace a upgrade, save yourself both time and money and read some of these tips!

Particleboard is a strict no

Sometimes the cheapest items aren’t always the best. Although the furniture that is made from particle board is inexpensive, easy to assemble and readily available, it does not mean that it is the best choice. Particle board is light in weight and thus does not hold up well under pressure and over time. This means that all those piles of files and expensive equipment on your employee’s desk can collapse the furniture given the right amount of time and weight.

Give preference to metal or wood over plastic

Plastic has many uses, but it in no way belongs as a structural base for furniture. This means that the bases of chairs and table should not be made from plastic as these pieces are more likely to crack or break compared to their metal and wood counterparts. Although metal and wood office furniture may cost you more upfront they will surly pay off in the long run. Furniture with metal or wood bases will stand the test of time and are more likely to stay intact, thus not needing to be repurchase in the near future.

Take correct measurements

The last thing you want to do is go through all this time and effort of getting furniture into your office to suddenly find out that it’s not the right fit. Therefore it’s critical to take accurate measurements of the area where the furniture will be going, as well as measurements of the user who will actually be using it to assure an quality fit. Many office furniture companies such as Tri-County Office Furniture will provide a complimentary sketched floor plan for your space. This will ensure no wasted space and a perfect fit for your office furniture.

The brand name is not everything

When purchasing items one of the first things that shoppers do is look at the brand names. Brand names can often be deceiving and don’t always lead to the highest quality products. Therefore it’s important that you get a broad spectrum of different brand names when looking at office furniture. Also look at competitors reviews and prices as they will help direct you in the best possible choice.

Buy used vs new office furniture if you can:

When companies close, downsize or remodel, office furniture is often liquidated. Many office furniture stores buy these liquidated pieces and sell them at a fraction of their original cost. Used office furniture can still be high quality and save a business tons of money on furniture. Be sure to ask if used office furniture is available before buying it new.

These points will help ensure that you get the most out of your investment.
