Oak furniture

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Oak furniture is constructed from one of the most durable and functional woods available. A heavy hardwood, oak is used to build sturdy pieces with simple lines and stylish finishes. As oak can range from an almost pure white to a warm honey tone, the wood is rarely painted, but instead finished or lacquered. Oak furniture enjoys a reputation for comfortably classic design elements and a sense of structure and permanence in a home.

With its natural sturdiness, oak is well suited to large furniture pieces such as tables, desks, or beds. The wood does not turn well for items which require intricate details, but has a strong appeal to individuals with a preference for clean lines and a solid presence. While some oak pieces may be described as airy or light, more often, oak falls into a more comfortable or traditional decorating category, as oak pieces are often large and physically heavy. (more…)

Navigating the Maze of Industrial Furniture

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

When you’re new to the responsibility of buying industrial furniture - whether you need a portable stage, drafting table, modular desks, school furniture, or office partitions - it’s difficult to quickly get a grasp of the range of products available, and even harder to determine which products will work best for your needs. Here’s a quick rundown to get you started:

Portable Stage: Portable stages come in a variety of heights, typically 8 inches, 16 inches, 24 inches, 32 inches, and 40 inches. They are also available in different widths and lengths, the most common being 3 feet by 6 feet, 3 feet by 8 feet, 4 feet by 6 feet, and 4 feet by 8 feet. The top of a portable stage is called a deck, and can be made from hardboard or polypropylene. Polypropylene decks can be carpeted to enhance their appearance.

Portable stages give you a wide variety of options. You can, for example, buy several platforms of the same height to form a flat performance stage. Or, you can buy several different heights to construct band or choral risers. When buying a portable stage, look for those that assemble quickly and that take up little room when folded and stacked. Finally, keep in mind that for safety reasons, guardrails should be used on the sides and rear of stages.

Office Furniture, Keep Your Clients Relaxed

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Office furniture mainly consists of desks, chairs and cubicles.

Office desks are usually referred to as armoire desks or a desk built within a large cabinet that can be closed so that it looks tidy as well as keeps dust away.

Small or home offices or SOHO often prefer armoire desks as they suit smaller spaces. On the other hand, government-related offices usually prefer pedestal desks within cubicles as they give a “secured” sense of privacy.

Armoire desks are sometimes called computer desks as they are often used to house computers and many have special areas or “drawers” for the keyboards.

Some armoire desks have fixed surfaced, meaning they cannot be moved whatsoever. The type of armoire desks is more widely used as it allows the users to quickly “hide” their works by just closing the doors instead of having to wrap everything up before closing the doors. This type of armoire desks is said to be the direct descendant of 18th century rolltop desks, which were common in the government offices at that time.
