  • How to Choose an Office Workstation

    A workstation is more than a table. It decides how people work, where they keep things and how their equipment is connected. Deciding a few points early makes the quotation faster and the installation smoother.

    Start with headcount and floor plan

    Count the seats, and note how they will be grouped: rows, clusters of four or six, or L-shaped corner positions. Measure the room and keep walkways clear. If you have a layout drawing, send it with your enquiry.

    Decide how much privacy you need

    Partitions can be fabric or glass. Fabric panels give visual privacy between colleagues. Half-glass partitions let light and sight lines through. Partition height can usually be varied, so say whether staff should sit behind a screen or see over it.

    Plan cables from the start

    Power and data cables need a route. Workstations with wire trunking keep cables inside the partition instead of on the floor. Check where power points are in the room before you choose the layout.

    Add storage where people work

    A pedestal with drawers and a file drawer gives each person lockable space for documents. Decide whether pedestals sit under the table or beside it.

    Consider sit-stand tables

    If some staff want to change between sitting and standing, height-adjustable tables can sit alongside standard workstations. Motorised versions raise and lower at the press of a button.

    Choose the chair with the desk

    A workstation is used for hours at a time. Choose the chair together with the table, and match the model across the room.

    What to send with your enquiry

    • Number of seats and how they are grouped
    • Room size or layout drawing
    • Partition type and height
    • Storage needed at each seat
    • Colour or finish preferences

  • Mesh or Leather Office Chairs: How to Choose

    Choosing between mesh and leather is easier once you decide who will use the chair and for how long.

    Match the chair to the role

    • Everyday task seating: chairs used for most of the working day, where comfort and adjustment matter most.
    • Managers and executives: chairs that also set the tone of an office.
    • Directors: larger high back chairs, sometimes with a recline function.
    • Visitors and meeting rooms: chairs used for shorter periods, where appearance and stacking or movement matter more than adjustment.

    Mesh chairs

    A mesh back lets air move through the chair, which many people prefer in a warm office or during long hours. Mesh models are often available with a headrest and lumbar support. Ask for the specification sheet to see the tilt mechanism, base and castors.

    Leather chairs

    Leather and leather-look upholstery gives a more formal appearance and is usual for managers, directors and meeting rooms. High back versions add head support, and some director chairs include a recline function.

    Check the details before ordering

    • Seat width and depth
    • Back height, headrest and lumbar support
    • Tilt mechanism and gas lift
    • Armrest type: fixed or adjustable
    • Base material and castors
    • Colour options

    Order one model per room

    Rooms look better and are easier to maintain when the same model is used throughout. Ask about colour options and about supplying the same model for later additions.

  • Planning School Furniture for a Classroom Order

    School orders usually involve volume, fixed budgets and short installation windows. A little preparation makes the quotation accurate and keeps the project on schedule.

    Count classrooms and pupils

    Start with the number of classrooms and the number of pupils in each. Quote whole classrooms rather than single items, so tables, chairs and teaching equipment match.

    Choose matching tables and chairs

    Student tables are available with drawers on selected models. Stackable chairs are easy to move and store when a hall is needed for other uses. Say the age group so that sizes suit the pupils.

    Plan the canteen separately

    Canteens need different furniture from classrooms: canteen tables and sets for daily use, and banquet tables for events. Give the number of seats you need at one time.

    Add teaching equipment

    Whiteboards and notice boards are best ordered with the furniture, so that everything is delivered and installed together.

    Allow for the school calendar

    Installation is often possible only during term breaks. Tell us the dates as early as you can, so delivery can be planned around them.

    Keep ranges consistent

    If the order covers several rooms or campuses, ask for the same models throughout so that everything matches.

    What to send with your enquiry

    • Number of classrooms and pupils per room
    • Age group
    • Canteen and hall seating needed
    • Equipment needed
    • Delivery location and installation dates
