Basic Guide when Choosing Office Furniture Do you know which office furniture is necessary to get more work done and attract more clients? Here is a quick listto help you decide what office furniture to buy without hurting your start-up budget. The Basic Desk and Chair Your office obviously can’t survive without this. Depending on the employee’s task, the right furniture can make him or her productive. The key is to choose a desk and chair that will provide employees comfort while at the same time motivate them do more. A data entry clerk, for instance, will be spending more time sitting in front of a computer, so an ergonomic chair is most appropriate. The Filing Cabinet This is the age of electronic data, but for offices that deal with a lot of paper work and paper files, a good filing cabinet should be a priority. You can have it customised to your needs or invest in a good off-the-rack filing cabinet that can accommodate the type and size of files you mostly use (for example, Letter size, Legal Size, large blueprints and drawings, etc). Also consider additional features that may be necessary like locks, fire proofing systems, etc. How often paperwork should also be considered (Is it filed frequently and retrieved frequently? Is it filed rarely and retrieved rarely, etc?) This will determine whether you needopen shelf cabinets, vertical or lateral file cabinets or simply cheap storage boxes. Conference Room and Reception Area Furniture If your type of business deals with visiting clients and prospective clients often, then equipping these areas with quality office furniture will go a long way for your business. First impressions last, so get these spaces spruced up with pieces of furniture that will best represent your image as a company. Office Break Furnishings Employees are assets, so give them their space to relax and bond with colleagues. The break room need not be extravagant but should have the basic equipment to serve its purpose. You can have simple tables and chairs, cupboards, basic sink, a microwave oven, coffee pot or coffee station, and a refrigerator (can be optional). Office furniture can eat up a big chunk of your budget if you don’t know how to do it right.
