Top Five Tips for Buying Office Furniture
1. Office Design and Space Planning - Most office-related furniture dealers will offer a free space planning CAD design service - this is a must as many things in an office can affect the layout i.e.: radiators, power points, and recesses. If 3D space planning is an option this facility enables you to see the finished design of your office - with the colors of the furniture and seating exactly as it would be.
2. Wood Finishes - There are many different colors
available to choose from but only two types of wood finish; melamine, (or mfc
as it is more commonly known) laminated wood board is much harder wearing and
less likely to scratch, mark or dent whereas the other option veneer will still
have the same warranty as mfc, but as it is "real" wood laid onto chipboard
is much more likely to get scratched or dented and would be more costly to
rectify.
3. Warranty - When selecting your furniture
manufacturer, choose a reputable one that offers a minimum 5-year warranty on
furniture and seating. Be aware that this is only a manufacturer's warranty
which will only cover the moveable parts; it will not cover wear and tear.
4. Office Layout - When planning the office layout,
a reputable dealer should be able to point out that there needs to be a minimum
of 800mm between any two points of office
furniture for Health and Safety reasons. In some cases, this measurement
may be increased to 1 meter.
5. Delivery Times - Delivery and installation are
the most important factors to take into consideration when planning an office.
Most manufacturers quote a four to six-week lead time from point of order,
however, furniture can be acquired within one to two weeks but this will limit
your choice and also affect the cost of the project.
So looking through these top 5
tips for buying office furniture, you will have a good basic understanding of
what you are looking for. The common mistake people make when buying office
furniture online is not having a basic understanding and idea of why they need
office furniture. If you know why you need a certain type of office furniture
and what purpose it will serve. You will know what office furniture will be
needed.
If you are looking for looks more
than usability, I would look at modern or contemporary office furniture rather
than ergonomic furniture.
