Office Furniture Expo is renowned for its extensive collection of office furniture, offering solutions that blend style, functionality, and comfort. Whether you’re redecorating an existing office or outfitting a new one, we’re here to guide you through the process. Below, we address some of the most frequently asked questions to help you make informed decisions for a productive and inviting work environment.
1. What Type of Office Desk is Best for My Workspace?
Selecting the right office desk depends on several factors such as size, style, material, and functionality. Consider your needs—whether you need space for computers, office equipment, or storage. Do you prefer uniform desks for a cohesive office look, or are you mixing styles to suit individual preferences? If space is limited, corner desks or compact options might be ideal. For those who prefer flexibility, sit-to-stand desks are a great solution for health and productivity. If you're on a budget, pre-owned desks can offer excellent value.
2. How Do I Choose the Right Color Scheme for My Office?
Choosing an office color scheme can significantly affect the atmosphere of your workplace. The colors you pick can influence mood, productivity, and even the perception of your brand. If you're aiming for a professional look, incorporating your brand colors can help reinforce your business identity. Bright and lively colors can inject energy into your office, fostering a positive and vibrant atmosphere. However, neutral tones like greys and earth shades can create a more calm and professional environment. To add personality, consider accent walls or artwork to liven up your office space.
3. How Long Will My Office Furniture Last?
The lifespan of office furniture depends on its material quality and how often it’s used. Items like office chairs that are used daily will have a shorter lifespan than conference tables, which may only be used occasionally. Higher-quality furniture typically lasts longer, so it’s worth investing in durable pieces. Office chairs can last up to 10 years, while desks and tables can last even longer with proper care.
4. What Sort of Office Chairs Do You Recommend?
When it comes to office chairs, comfort and ergonomics should be top priorities. A good office chair helps reduce fatigue and promotes better posture, increasing productivity. Consider task chairs that allow for mobility or ergonomic chairs designed to support your back during long hours. At Office Furniture Expo, you can test out a variety of office chairs in our showroom to ensure the perfect fit for your team.
5. Can Office Furniture Be Tax-Deductible?
Yes, office furniture may be eligible for tax deductions under Section 179 of the IRS tax code. This allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying furniture, making it more affordable to update or furnish your office. Keep in mind that the furniture must be necessary for business use, and depreciation is required for the deduction. It’s always a good idea to consult with a tax professional to ensure your furniture qualifies for the deduction.
6. Do You Offer Assembly and Delivery Services?
Yes! Office Furniture Expo offers comprehensive assembly and delivery services in the Greater Atlanta Area. We understand that setting up new office furniture can be time-consuming, so we ensure our customers have a seamless experience. Assembly is often included with your purchase, and we can deliver furniture throughout the metro area and even beyond. Delivery fees may vary depending on the amount of furniture purchased and the delivery location.
7. What Should I Consider When Selecting Conference Tables?
Conference tables are the centerpiece of any meeting space. Choosing the right size and shape is essential to creating a comfortable, functional meeting environment. You don't want a table that overcrowds the room or makes it feel cramped. Consider your room size and the number of people typically in meetings. Office Furniture Expo has a range of conference tables that can fit different room sizes and aesthetic preferences, from modern designs to more traditional options.
8. How Can I Visualize My Office Furniture Before Purchasing?
Visualizing how new furniture will fit into your office can be challenging. At Office Furniture Expo, we offer 3D modeling services using CAD software to help you plan your office layout. This allows you to see how the furniture will look in your space before making a decision. It’s a helpful tool for coordinating the design and ensuring the furniture fits well within your office.
9. Should I Buy Office Furniture In-Person or Online?
Deciding whether to shop online or in-store depends on your preferences. Shopping online offers the convenience of browsing from home, but visiting our showroom allows you to physically inspect the furniture. You can test the comfort of office chairs, check dimensions, and get a better feel for the materials and build quality. Seeing the furniture in person helps you plan your office space more effectively and gives you a sense of how it will look in your environment.
10. How Do I Accessorize My Office to Make It Feel More Inviting?
Office accessories are essential for adding a personal touch to your workspace. From lighting fixtures to plants, mirrors, and art, accessories can transform a simple office into a welcoming environment. Practical items such as task lighting will improve visibility, while stylish lighting can set the tone for the office. You can also use sculptures, bookshelves, or interesting décor to make your office feel more like home. At Office Furniture Expo, we have a wide range of accessories to suit all tastes and styles.
