Modern Commercial Seating

As you know by now, the real estate market has cooled off considerably. As a seller, this means you need to take extra steps when it comes to the sales process.

Selling your home comes down to a number of key factors. The price compared to the surrounding market is surely one of the factors as is the overall condition of your property. Another aspect that is of immense importance is the curb appeal of the home.

Traditionally, the curb appeal of a home is described as the appearance when a potential buyer drives up to the home. The idea is that the home should immediately produce a positive feeling, to wit, the buyer thinks they could live in it. While this concept certainly remains true today, it has also expanded in scope.

Over 70 percent of potential home buyers now use the web to view and filter out homes. This means you need to have your home listed online or you risk missing out on a huge pool of potential buyers. With online listings, however, there is a catch. Buyers who are sitting and clicking through homes expect to see certain things. Instead of a shiny picture of the home from the outside, they now expect to see images of the interior. (more…)

The eight-hour workday is a thing of the past for most employees. Long hours sitting in one position in inadequate office chairs is taking its toll on the backs of business people throughout the United States. This can lead to lower productivity and more sick time taken.

Doctors are reporting more and more back related problems that are due to the amount of stress that is put on lower back muscles. This stress is directly related to poorly constructed office chairs, and the posture that the employee has when he or she is sitting in the chair. More often than not, the employee slouches causing even more strain to the spine.

Studies have shown that there are steps that can be taken to reduce the increase of back-related problems. For those who are sitting at a desk for long hours, it is recommended that you get up and move around every half hour. Natural body movement counter acts the negative effects that sitting for extended periods of time causes. Adjusting your posture is another way to lessen the stress that sitting causes. (more…)

Tired of the flat pack furniture you’ve had since graduation or your newlywed days? You know the stuff that takes too long to put together (because 3 screws are missing)? The stuff that every other friend also has in her house? The stuff that’s going to fall apart any day now? Ready for a change?

Here are the top 5 reasons to make your next furniture choice real wood unfinished furniture.

Quality

Unfinished furniture is fine furniture constructed of real, solid wood. That means that all exposed parts of the furniture are made of solid board - either softwood or hardwood lumber. No veneers are used. Furniture from the finished furniture industry is typically a mix of real wood and particle board or chip board. Why is this a problem? Humidity causes real wood to expand and contract. Particle board does not. Therefore, if the furniture is a mixture of both, the joints will eventually break from each other. However, the natural expansion or contraction will cause no change in the solid, real wood furniture’s structural integrity. So when comparing real wood unfinished furniture vs. finished furniture, think Iron Man vs. the next American Idol in some sort of strange strength competition reality show. Although those singers are awfully entertaining, really - there’s no contest. (more…)

In this article we’re going to go over tips on what to look for when deciding to buy a rocking chair.

Rocking chairs are probably one of the most popular chairs, especially in America where many people get a great joy out of rocking their child to sleep. Here are some tips when looking for a rocking chair.

The first thing you have to figure out is where you are going to put your rocking chair. Because these chairs are larger than most normal chairs and also because they need room to move you have to first make sure that you have sufficient space to not only place the chair but be able to actually use it. You don’t want the legs of your rocker slamming into a wall behind you or bumping into a table in front of you.

It is important that your rocking chair is comfortable. Many rocking chairs are used for therapeutic purposes. John F. Kennedy’s rocking chair was a perfect example of this and one where many replicas were made. As a matter of fact, replicas of Kennedy’s rocker were the most popular during the 1960s. People spend many hours in rockers so you want to make sure that yours has seating support. A padded cushion is usually best. You also want to make sure the chair has comfortable elbow support. Plus, you want the seat and the back to be both firm and flexible. (more…)

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 Chairs

Most people who work in an office find that they spend the majority of their days in an office chair.
