Other chairs come from individuals who just can’t afford to work in a large office any longer. Whether they move to a home office or go out of business, they are willing to part with their almost brand new office chair for a few dollars.

No matter why people give them up, used office chairs are simply a good choice. Sure, everyone would appreciate a nice new office chair, but what if there were reasons to purchase these instead? For example, a new office chair is often stiff and the leather is often strong. In one that has been used, it is more relaxed, softer, and broken in. Then of course there is that other reason to purchase a used version. Yes, it just makes sense to purchase one of these instead because of the price difference. You know that a good quality office chair will support your pressure points and keep you alert throughout your day. But, these are expensive.

The obvious answer here is to purchase a used office chair. It will still function like a brand new one in supporting you and keeping you comfortable. It will still look as stylish and powerful. Yet, it will be a smarter buy because of its lower price. Possibly, it may be considered wiser to save that extra money and use it later for a new desk, a new floor mat, or just to save for a rainy day.

Doug Fowler manages several business-related informational sites, such as www.buy-office-chairs.com . Buy Office Chairs.com provides visitors with a wealth of information related to office chairs.

After all, those of us who have grown accustomed to working for someone else may be used to having all that office equipment at our fingertips. From phones to fax machines, from copiers to computers, we have grown used to having all the office technology we need, all supplied at someone else’s expense.

Setting up a home office or an office for a new business venture can be quite a different matter. For one thing, you, as the owner of the business, will need to set up all that equipment on your own, and this office equipment can be quite expensive. It is important to shop around carefully for the best deal on the office equipment you need, and to start slowly in order to get the most bang for your buck.

As you go about purchasing the new equipment for your home office it is important to always keep those receipts in a safe place. If one of your new office purchases is a scanner, be sure to scan those receipts into a computer file so you will have a permanent record of them. The reason for doing this is obvious; the office purchases you make can be deducted from your income taxes, so the more documentation you can provide the better.

The type of office equipment you will need will vary according to what kind of business you have, but one type of office equipment just about every business will need is a computer. These days it is virtually impossible to run a successful office without at least one computer, whether for email communication, access to information or simply running the business and typing business communication. For office purposes you may need a better computer than the one you have at home, especially if your home computer is more than a couple of years old. It is generally best to buy the best computer you can afford for your office, as these higher end computers tend to become obsolete more slowly.

Equipping a new office can be difficult, but it is important to carefully shop around to get what you need. If you shop carefully you will be able to make your limited office budget stretch as far as possible.

The very basics of design Advertising Articles | June 5, 2005 Design is a very subjective thing, therefore, if you ask me how to come up with a first class design for your marketing collateral or publishing mediums, it would be very unfair for me or anyone else to tell you what is a good design and what is a bad design……. But there are certain elements and principles that we should look for in a design to determine whether the design and layout of the material will be able to carry the message across effectively to the readers and your potential market. The main aim of every design material related to advertising or promotion is either to sell something, promote something or brand a company. Keep the design and layout simple and clean The more cluttered or messy the layout and design is for your marketing collateral, the harder it would be for your customers to find the important stuff. So, don’t overcrowd the design of your marketing materials. First and foremost, it should be kept clean and very simple. Yes, we all want to fit as much information as we can into the design but hey, keep the purpose of the design of the marketing stuff in mind. You want to design a novel or design something that sells. Design Colors If you have a set of corporate colors (like the colors that you use on your logo, letterhead, envelopes?etc), keep to the same colors in your design. You should present a very simplistic, unique, corporate, professional, consistent image, not a haphazard one. How can anyone rely on you when you have that kind of image, right? It’s best that you not use too many colors for your design. And another important point about designing marketing materials is this; avoid using all the colors of the rainbow in one design! You’re not trying to confuse your customers, you’re trying to make it easy for them to find information, attract them and urge them to buy something from you! I would say using 2 or 3 main colors from your corporate color for the design is good enough. Fonts There are tons of free fonts (quite incredibly attractive ones at that) that you can find off the Internet for the design of your marketing stuff ? but the sad news is that it’s not always possible to use all of them. Keep to one single font for the content in your design, and if you wish to, you can use a different (a bolder and louder font) for the headings and titles in your design. Images in your design Unlike web publishing, using images in the design of your brochures, flyers, menus, company profiles is always a good idea. Enticing your customers with useful pictures or diagrams that illustrates your point or including pictures of your products in the design of your marketing stuff is encouraged. Be careful and weary of using stock photos from the web for your marketing material. One, the resolution of such images (those that you can get off the Internet) is never good enough for printing purposes. Two, you’ll get in trouble with the people who actually owns the rights to those images. So, if possible, if you want to use pictures or illustrative images in your design, it’s best to either get the pictures for the design yourself (with your digital camera) or you should just purchase it.

First-time buyers of systems furniture, whether for a new office facility or an upgrade, must look beyond design and pricing when selecting vendors to receive their request for proposals. “Outfitting an office is a complex undertaking involving hundreds if not thousands of components that must come together in an orderly manner, and the coordination of several skilled trades,” says Mark Bassil, co-founder and vice president of MAiSPACE, a Mt. Olive, NJ, based manufacturer of modular office furniture systems. “Attractive designs at a good price are not hard to find, but buyers must prepare themselves for serious problems if they overlook the service and support – or lack of it – offered by their systems furniture supplier.” Established in 1993, MAiSPACE has built its success on outstanding design, superior construction and extremely competitive pricing while setting the standard in customer service that leads to repeat business. “Once a contract is signed, the quality of a vendor`s support service makes the difference between a smoothly running installation and outright frustration,” Bassil says. “Our organizational setup recognizes this from component manufacturing through completing the installation. Indeed, our supply chain structure is so efficient we can complete an installation in as little as 4 to 6 weeks from receiving a signed contract. ” A Service Check List Several activities are undertaken between the signing of a contract and move in. “From the beginning,” Bassil says, “we assign from our nationwide network of resources the various contractors who are responsible for move management, inventory assessment, warehousing as needed and the removal and disposal of old furniture. While not all these services are required by all clients, they put the onus on MAiSPACE rather than on the client to get the vital jobs done.” The company`s in-house design team is available to clients who do not engage an independent design consultant. “These experts produce the best and most cost-effective layout to satisfy our clients` current needs and help them plan ahead,” Bassil explains. “They help clients select from our wide range of fabrics and finishes to turn an empty workplace into stunning workspaces including single-occupancy cubicles, teaming areas, conference rooms, executive offices, reception areas and other facilities that support their business.” Poorly designed floor plans can be a major problem and more often than not will put the project behind schedule and over budget. “Vendors who discover that their system elements won`t fit only after they arrive at the project site do a serious disservice to their client and to the contract furniture industry in general,” Bassil comments. “While last-minute changes are a fact of the business, there is no excuse for poor space planning from the beginning.” MAiSPACE makes move-ins virtually fault-free through the use of modern design software. “As an example,” says Bassil, “GIZA software lets us design layouts and typical workstations, conceptualize clients` ideas and make three dimensional presentations. It facilitates changes, provides drawings and documentation while integrating with CAD and other specification software to achieve quality results that help us close the sale while assuring clients that the office furnishing components will fit as planned.” Concurrent with these activities, MAiSPACE project managers work with clients to address logistics issues and mitigate risks associated with employee downtime that may occur between the removal of old furniture and the installation of the new. “When installation time arrives, MAiSPACE implements its coordinated delivery and installation process to manage activities from the receiving dock forward,” Bassil says. “Product is received, uncrated and inspected prior to being transported to the client`s space. Professional furniture installers move into action, erecting framing components in an orderly manner across the floor plan in accordance with the approved design. These are accompanied by licensed telecommunications specialists that handle the initial placement of the facility`s local area network (LAN) comprised of the MAiSPACE plug-and-play voice, data and power cabling system.” Cabling is laid in the framing rather than being bundled and fished through framing elements, which simplifies initial installation and greatly simplifies cable management during future moves adds and changes to the office floor plan. Once the modular framework is in place, installers snap on the panels, position desks, files, bins and shelving per the master plan, place seating elements and other detached components such as tables and storage files, and otherwise complete the project as ordered. “All debris associated with the project is removed, systems are tested and only then turned over to the client,” Bassil says. Employee Orientation “Systems furniture vendors whose service stops at the receiving dock provide one example of poor service,” says Bassil. “At the other end are vendors who assume clients` employees know all about the product, so tip their hat and say goodbye once the installation is in place. We believe,” he says, “that client orientation is an important part of a service package. An example is explaining the simplicity of our cabling system – to the extent that personnel can manage cable rerouting without hiring outside professionals during floor plan reconfiguration. We also provide training on ergonomic seating, storage and filing systems, and workstation components. “Summing it up,” Bassil concludes, “buying new office furniture involves more than a visit to an office supply house. While bargains may be found, our ability to completely furnish offices starting at $12 – $15 per square foot while delivering a complete menu of support services, a lifetime warranty and guarantee against obsolescence makes a strong case for the importance of checking into supplier services.”

The Meaning Behind Modular Office Furniture Business Articles | April 16, 2009 Modular office furniture is found in most offices today, but what exactly is it and why is it called modular? Take a look at the etymology of this work and gain a better appreciation behind the modern office. And discover, that modular office furniture basically originated from math! Recently I purchased some modular office furniture when I was moving my home office. I wanted a work environment that was more conducive to work, so that meant getting out of the family room. I decided to use an upstairs room that was not being used wisely, and with the help of my husband (who actually did all of the work) we painted the walls and installed new trim (out of the 70’s and into modern times!). The room looks really nice, and all for under $100. Now it was time for new furnishings, because my 1950’s gray laminate table was staying downstairs.I went to an office supply store to see what they had, and pretty much everything was modular. Modular office furniture has really changed in the last 20 years. You can buy inexpensive, cubicle type modular furniture all the way up to high quality, executive type modular office furniture.This got me thinking, exactly what is modular furniture, and how did it get its name? I hear the term modular thrown around a lot and applied in various ways. It is easy to accept a term without giving much thought to its real meaning, how it developed that meaning, and its etymology.So I did a little research. The term modular originated from the Latin term (yes, most everything goes back to the Latin!) modulus which literally means to measure. In the American Oxford Dictionary, the term modulus is basically a math term, and though applicable in some way, was beyond what I wanted to delve into. So without getting into more complex definitions that involve logarithms, modulus is the absolute value of a complex number. Which make me ask, did modular office furniture originated form math?From this meaning, not only did the word modular develop, but before that, the term module. Since the definition of modular includes the word module, lets take a look at module first.According to Merriam-Webster online, module is a noun that has been around since about 1628. A module is:a standard or unit of measurement (math again!)any in a series of standardized units for use together: as? (1): a unit of furniture or architectureThe term modular was coined about 170 years later in 1798. It is an adjective and defined as follows:of, relating to, or based on a module or a modulus constructed with standardized units or dimensions for flexibility and variety in use One other piece of useful information I found about modular office furniture was at Britannica Encyclopedia online, and is specifically about modular building construction. Modular construction is a system in which buildings are so designed that their dimensions are multiples of a given figure. Modular construction simplifies the problem of producing standard building components and materials that will fit together in a wide variety of applications.This application of buildings can also be applied, along with the other definitions, to modular furniture. Modular office furniture is composed of various modules (you pick what you need to fit your work style and environment). The modules have standard dimensions (modular construction) that are designed to easily fit together.For example, you may start with a basic desk. From this you can customize your work area by adding a credenza alone or credenza hutch, or perhaps you would like a lateral file or a pedestal return that fits on the left side of your desk. These or other options would all fit with your basic beginning desk, as long as you stay with the same brand and model, the heights of all units will be standard, and very important, the connectors will all line up correctly!Understanding modular helps us to appreciate this modern innovation, the ability to take independent units to construct a more complex unit that fits together perfectly to build modular office furniture designed for independent needs. Now I just have to decide what I need in my new office space! Article Tags: Modular Office Furniture, Modular Office, Office Furniture, Term Modular

• The Ergonomic Office Chair And Ball: Putting A Bounce In Your Step – by David Faulkner
  Posted on Monday, February 22nd, 2010 in Office Refurbishment – Comments: (0)
  For those busy office executives and workers who simply do not have the time to exercise regularly but still want to stay in shape, the ergonomic office chair and ball is a combination of the standard ergonomic office chair designed to hold the spine in proper alignment, and the balance ball found in tens of thousands of gyms and used to help people strengthen their core muscles.

The only thing that doesn’t change in life is change itself. Don’t let this scare you; it’s really quite simple, throughout history humankind has changed a lot. Since technology always changes, style should change with it. People want their living areas to reflect changes in their lives. When your daughter was five, she might have liked her princess wallpaper, but now that she’s 16, she’s changed her mind. Interior designs these days don’t incorporate much of the shiny chrome so popular in the ’80s. This article discusses changing trends in design and how they can be applied to your living space. In what ways does design affect my life? Really take in your surroundings. Notice the color of the walls. What kind of windows are there? What kind of floor coverings does the room have? Identifying these elements in your living space, in essence, reveals exactly how you are impacted by interior design. Some designs give a homey feel, while others make rooms elegant. An interior designer has the ability to change a space in such a way that it leaves a lasting impression on someone. Even the simple act of painting a wall can affect the mood and productivity of a person. Home and office decor have profound effects on people everyday. What rooms are affected positively by interior design? All types of rooms will be improved by good interior design. Even small rooms can become beautiful and practical. For another example, single room loft owners often don’t know what to do with their open space and lack of clearly separated living areas. Interior designers can design separate areas to maximize storage and define different living areas. Designers, for instance, can make small bathrooms look larger and brighter. Even though it’s just an optical illusion, the space will still seem bigger Can architecture affect interior design in any way? You will find that a space’s interior design is tremendously influenced by its architecture. It might not be obvious at first, but upon closer inspection of the subtle arches, doorways and moldings, it will become evident how the architecture has affected the total design. The work and styles of today’s interior designers reflect the tremendous influence they’ve felt from notable architects across American history. Modern design styles and techniques are well-served by their tradition of clean lines and form. Where would I search to learn more about interior design? By far the best places to learn about interior design are specialized magazines. Lots of decorating publications carry suggestions on redoing rooms, regardless of their dimensions. In these magazines, you can see rooms before and after their redesigns. You can also get all sorts of terrific decorating suggestions online.

The Importance of Good Wheel Castors for Office Chairs Business Articles | October 9, 2005 There are many features that an office chair should possess to ensure that it is a high quality product.  These features will allow a good office chair to withstand intensive use, provide comfort to its user, prevent serious injury, and contribute to overall office productivity. Most important, proper ergonomic design is essential in providing adequate back support and helping to alleviate the discomfort that is often associated with being seated for a prolonged amount of time. Today’s employees can easily find themselves seated for extensive periods of time throughout the workday.  Many of their required office tasks involve frequent use of a computer or telephone console. Because of this, it is important that an office chair be durable and conducive to efficient multi-tasking.  A wheel castor for office chairs makes this possible by allowing the user to swivel and glide effortlessly while quickly completing daily office tasks. It is critical that consumers choose an office chair with the appropriate type of wheel castor for the floor surface the chair will be placed on.  If an office chair will be used on a soft surface (such as carpet or rubber), a hard wheel castor will perform best.  If the surface is harder (such as concrete or wood), the soft wheel castor will excel.  The larger a wheel castor is, the more easily it will roll across a gritty, dirty, or uneven surface.  It is important to ensure that your office chair features ANSI/BIFMA office chair castors.  The Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer’s Association (BIFMA) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) are both organizations that set rigorous standards that a quality office wheel castor must meet or exceed.  Knowing that the wheel castor has met these “highest of standards” will ensure that you are purchasing a safe product that will withstand intensive use and provide value for your money.

There are many important factors to consider when selecting proper ergonomic office chairs.  Some of the features that should be looked for are an adjustable seat, proper lumbar support, a backrest, adequate seat width and depth, appropriate arm rests, and the ability to swivel.  It is important to read the instruction manual thoroughly and ensure that all of the adjustment mechanisms are in proper working order.  If a chair is found to be defective, in any way, it should be returned.  While selecting ergonomic office chairs it is important to remember that there is no “best” fit for every body type.  What suits one individual may not be an ideal choice for another.  If possible, it is a good idea to try out an ergonomic office chair prior to making a purchase.  If it is not possible to test the chair prior to purchasing, be sure that you are able to receive a refund if the chair turns out to be less than ideal. It is important to understand proper posture and ergonomics while at work or at a home office before using an ergonomic office chair.  There is quite a bit of educational information on this subject online.  One of the basics of proper office ergonomics is ensuring that a chair’s seat height allows the user’s feet to remain flat on the floor.  It is also essential that a chair offer proper lumbar support, which fits the inward curve of the lower back.  Additionally, a chair must have a seat that is comfortable after sitting in it for a long period of time, and armrests that allow the shoulders to remain in a relaxed position. There are many new and emerging alternatives available to the traditional ergonomic office chair.  Several types of chairs place the user in an atypical position.  They may take some getting used to over time, but they are a good alternative for someone who experiences discomfort or chronic back pain.

Over the past five years, climate change has become a perceived reality; we face a melting polar ice cap, a rise in the average sea level… yes, global warming has become a realization. Last week, President-elect Barack Obama held a press conference to formally announce members of his energy and environment team. The people he chose for these posts represented a drastic change from the previous administration, pledging serious commitment and allegiance to finding solutions to global warming, an issue which is now regarded as a matter of national security. Today, every industry invests in environmentally friendly practices and champions a sustainable approach, combining it with aesthetics, functionality, and flexibility. Environmental consciousness and aesthetics are not mutually exclusive; they can peacefully and harmoniously coexist together. For instance, Gilles Vidal, designer of a recent “green” concept car, the C-Cactus, for the French automaker PSA Peugeot Citroën, said, “To make a real environmental effort, you need to work on all of the possible factors – materials, optimization of processes, simplifying, and going back to essentials.” The same applies to all aspects of design, including interior home and office design. Design basically is communicating your ideas to others; also you have to win your customers over by thinking about their needs. In other words, one cannot be done at the expense of another; you cannot spare beauty or elegance for functionality or biodiversity. They all go hand in hand, because that`s how the world is… a whole bigger than the sum of its parts. All MAiSPACE office furniture products offer aesthetics, functionality and sustainability. The United States remains a dynamic and vibrant market, despite current economic unease. Especially during these tough times, customers look for high quality products. And contrary to the general understanding, eco-friendly materials used in furnishings can actually be fashionable, elegant, and even beautiful. The importance of modern, attractive, and comfortable workspaces cannot be overlooked, because a good interior office design signifies a commitment to excellence in the workplace environment. The right workplace environment is the one that brings together all these elements: sustainability, biodiversity, style, function, and comfort. MAiSPACE`s office furniture products are GREENGUARD® certified for low emitting interior building materials, furnishings, and finish systems. Moreover, MAiSPACE follows the `cradle to cradle` process, which focuses on manufacturing products out of parts that can be recycled several times and produced using the least environmentally harmful methods. Component parts can be dismantled and incorporated repeatedly into new versions of the same product while scrap can be returned to manufacturers to make new products.” MAiSPACE uses post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) from ground up soda bottles instead of fiberglass as padding for panels. Much of the steel and aluminum used in its office workstations have also been recycled. “Even our cabling systems are eco-friendly,” Mark Bassil, Company`s vice president and co founder points out. “Cabling used in workspaces of older design generally cannot be reused after MACs. Because of this, a lot of cable gets thrown out, either to end up in a landfill or to have the PVC burned off to reclaim the copper. In the latter instance, energy consumed and toxins can be admitted to the air. In contrast, unneeded MAiSPACE cabling can be unplugged and reused.” MAiSPACE has also reduced packaging refuse by offering bulk packing and alternatives for the traditional corrugated and Styrofoam materials used in packaging products; such as carton-less techniques and the introduction of minimal packaging for truckload orders. Reusable packaging is also used by companies who supply parts and products for MAiSPACE. In addition to protecting the environment from unnecessary packing materials, these packaging methods reduce the cost of de-trashing the installation area and facilitate installation with less clutter. Packaging materials made from recycled products are also used whenever possible.

Wood Office Furniture; Today people spend more time in their workplaces, in fact, they literally live there. As people spend most of their time in their offices, the more important these workstations become. So does the workplace design. The increased demand for new offices at the turn of century urged the interior designers and architects to create functional, comfortable, friendly yet professional work environments. Yet this comfort and informality should not interfere with professionalism and productivity, especially in offices where the lines between work and personal spaces can easily be blurred. The office needs to be an engaging and stimulating place encouraging creativity and productivity. Also, the workplace says a lot about the personality of its owner. Individual is the heart of the workspace design. Everyone is unique and the office should reflect the realities, passions, interests, and needs of those who own it. It is very common to see people to put all the things that are passionate about in their offices. Most of the time these offices are showcases for collectibles filled with paintings, guns, and even toys. An office should also fit its owner’s habits and lifestyle. For instance, it is not surprising to see a billiard table or chess board at today’s work spaces. MAiSPACE As the number of offices increases, furnishings selection has become an integral aspect of interior office design. The office cubicles, steel file cabinets, do-it-yourself furniture pieces have fallen out of fashion. Many designers, manufacturers and retailers searched for more personal and inviting alternatives, and they were intrigued by wood. There is something about wood, something personal and warm. It’s traditional yet elegant, modern, and stylish. It is nostalgic and even romantic. It is cozy, luxurious, and fresh. Wood combines all these elements and creates a welcoming atmosphere and a peaceful work space. Its texture, warmth, and depth appeals to individuals with divergent desires and needs. Another important aspect of wood is its durability and longevity. Wood has proven to be timeless, and can never fall out of fashion. Another advantage of the wood furniture is its natural smell, wood furniture doesn’t have that new office odor, and definitely the air is much healthier. A study recently revealed that some of the components used in office furnishing systems were sources of toxic compounds. And certainly, this is not the case with wood. The only problem you might have is the wood selection. Once you decided to go with wood, be warned, you’ll be confused. There are thousands of different species of wood you can pick. And the good news is there are no rules. You are only limited by your imagination. For an elegant and stylish look you can go with makore-an exotic wood- or mahogany- reddish brown wood known for its durability. If you prefer a bolder look you might want to choose white or red oak. For a younger and more contemporary style you might consider a desk in black walnut finish with chrome legs. Eucalyptus, pine, cherry, walnut, and maple are other wood types you might consider to decorate your work space. Teak is not only confined to our patios and porches anymore. Teak offers a variety of different alternatives. It’s durable, sturdy and stylish. After all, you can’t go wrong with wood. It’s safe, natural, organic, and sophisticated. What people look for in their work environment is comfort and function but also style and elegance, and wood offers all. The wooden desks, chairs, and cabinets transform the office into a warm, cozy, and enjoyable setting that stimulates critical thinking. You don’t have to be a multimillionaire or a CEO of a major company to feel like one. You can create a work space of your dreams at the price you can afford. Maispace offers a wide selection of office products and designs at affordable prices. Roundabout, Maispace’s elegantly designed modular wood office furniture, embraces you with its softer, gentler, and ergonomic form. Roundabout comes in eight beautiful finishes: Antique White, Black, Fashion Grey, Ibis, Kensington Maple, Pepperdust, Wild Cherry White, Windsor Mahogany. Roundabout provides comfort and functionality without sacrificing aesthetics and style. While it is your job to keep work and personal life separate, we are ready to assist you with choosing the right furniture. At Maispace, your wish is our command
