Office Furniture

Offices can run the gamut in size from a single room to an entire building that houses multiple offices where a variety of jobs are performed. How the office, or offices, are laid out depends on the total number of employees and those with individual offices, plus the number of shared spaces, reception areas and conference rooms. Yet however the building or area is designed, office furniture is an essential operational component.

Upon entering an office, one typically encounters a reception area. This space serves to greet visitors with a reception desk as the focal point. Guests and delivery people know where to go when arriving, plus have the option to sit in an array of waiting room furniture. Beyond the reception area, there can be a variety of office cubicles, common areas, executive suites and more. All equipped with various styles of desks, office chairs, filing cabinets, whiteboards and bookcases.

The style of office desks can range from pedestal and L-shaped to corner and stand-up. Office chairs also vary greatly. They can be equipped with ergonomic features like lumbar support, designed to be task oriented or even allow the user to kneel. Many times, the term office chair is used synonymously with task chairs because the seating is adjustable and padded for comfort. Executive chairs are also commonly used in areas like conference rooms and C-suite offices with features like leather upholstery, high backs and padded arms.

Aside from desks and chairs, other popular office furniture includes bookcases, filing cabinets, whiteboards, presentation easels, office partitions and even desk hutches. With all the paperwork, presentations, reports and meetings, storage is always a priority in any office. From wooden filing cabinets in both pedestal and lateral styles to wall cabinets and bookcases, the assortment of options is diverse. For team meetings and group presentations, office whiteboards and easels are commonly used for brainstorming, note taking and sharing information.
