I remember many years ago it was common practice to take a pair of two drawer metal filing cabinets and place and uncut unhinged wooden door over the top of them to create an office desk. I can imagine how our clients today would react if they walked into our office and saw such a setup. Because our business is primarily dealing with information technology, all of our office furniture reflects a high tech very “with it” approach. Using modern office desks and chairs is a very simple way to project an image of competence for any potential visitors to your work environment.

The limitations placed on office furniture for home use
Sunday, November 14th, 2010Home office furniture has a completely different set of requirements in construction and design than that of furniture used for a working office. To begin with, home office furniture must be smaller in size. Very often our home office desk or chair is consigned to the spare corner or closet. Sometimes our home office desk is actually and literally placed under a stairwell. For these reasons there are definite limitations on size for the home office. Still these pieces need functionality and that need is met by clever usage of superstructures for storage and increased desk top space.
