A small conference table for an executive office can be a valuable asset to have in place. They provide a small meeting area outside of the normal confines of the conference or board room. Usually, a small round or square conference table can be placed within the executive office without taking up too much space and ruining the design of the office space.

Madison Liquidators has grown a lot since I first started back in January of 2021. To me, it’s a little wild how far we have come since then.

Stretching your legs, rearranging your seat, arching your back, or resting your arms on the table are all ways we try to conform our bodies to sit in one spot for eight hours a day, five (or more) days a week.

While information on beneficial exercises and stretches to do on your break, suggestions on how often you should get up and take a walk, and the benefits of a standing desk are well-touted, office chairs remain among the most elementary and essential pieces of office furniture.

These key aspects of the puzzle are often overlooked or forgotten completely with on-hand used office chairs or uncomfortable folding chairs in rare circumstances.

Introduction Do you remember when you were a kid and the worst punishment you could get was being grounded? You would be in your room, looking longingly out of the upstairs window while your friends rode bikes or played tackle football. If you were really lucky, it didn't last more than a day. But why was that the worst form of punishment? Maybe it's because humans need outdoors and fresh air just as much as we need food and shelter. The multitude of ways that science has uncovered (and is still uncovering) how the outdoors improves our mood and overall well-being cannot be overstated. For example, the American Psychological Association states that chi (Read More)

A small conference table can be an intimate meeting space. For some startups they can be the primary conference meeting space. For more established or larger offices, they can be a great addition to an executive office. When I think small conference table, I think of an office furniture piece that seats four people comfortably and not take up much office square footage.

Office chairs are one of the most critical purchases for every office. The chair provides comfort and support throughout the workday, every day, all year long; or at least it’s supposed to. It should be a safe assumption that everyone has had to endure a poor-quality chair in the past, or perhaps even now. I know that I can think back on a particular chair and my back aches in remembrance at just the thought of it. Some people look at the copy machine scene in the Office Space movie and relate, but for me I would have loved to take a baseball bat to this so-called office chair. Today, I thought I would highlight a selection of heavy duty office chairs to help pro (Read More)

Let’s begin with a quote “All great changes in America begins at the dinner table.” Anyone know who said that? Former President and founder of Reaganomics, Ronald Reagan. Before we get into a full blown discussion about the economy and trickling down, let’s apply that to business. “All great changes in business begins at the office conference table.” Reagan was right about needing a place to communicate clearly. His thoughts are from parent to child, we have flipped it from management to worker. This is absolutely true for this one simple fact; email effectiveness has its limits. A face to face meeting can be far more impactful than (Read More)
