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. But no matter what we do, our bodies continue to tell us that sitting for that long without the proper support is not going to cut it.

This means we owe ourselves and our health to seek the (Read More)

Executive offices require special office furniture, right? What’s the point of being in the big office if you can’t enjoy the benefits? If we take the 1980s yuppie phrase of “work hard, play harder” then we can assume that we should reward ourselves for making it to the top of the business.

I recently took a look at Fresh Reception Desk Ideas for 2023 as an overall look at revitalizing your office space in the new year.

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.

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 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.

Since small square or round conference tables are becoming so popular for the executive office, I thought I would highlight a few from the Madison Liqu (Read More)
