Placing workers together in workstations is en vogue today. In times past it was done out of necessity for space saving measures. Now however, open office workstations are selected for the benefits of placing co-workers together to increase production, promote collaboration and office comradery. Occasionally, they are chosen for the space saving measures as well., but the majority of the time an open office workstation is selected for the purposes previously stated. Open office workstations are the modern twist on a cubicle farm. You know what I mean, a city of closed off small workstations that were selected due to their space saving capabilities. When thinking of a c (Read More)

Office collaboration is important. Increasingly offices are moving to a more open and inclusive office layout. Traditional cubicle layouts are being phased out in favor of opening up the workspace in favor of open spaces that feature increased natural lighting brought on by the elimination of huge light blocking partitioned walls. In place of cubicles, a wide variety of collaborative workstations have come to market to lead the way in this new and exciting office layout. With so many options out there, we are providing a sample of some of the top collaborative workstations available today. This list is a great place to begin a search for this type of office furniture. (Read More)

Modern offices are moving away from traditional cubicles more and more each year. The meteoric rise of open office workstations in the last decade has made manufacturers focus on desk pods. Over the last few years, they have brought fresh, and trendy designs to the market for their customers. These designs are extremely popular at Madison Liquidators. Today, I thought I would show several examples of four person workstations that are excellent alternatives to cubicle systems. The primary question is how do they differ from cubicles? Mainly, cubicles partition co-workers off from one another, while open office workstations place co-workers together in joined office furn (Read More)

I can see it now, drab cubicle walls for as far as the eye can see. Boring colors and closed off multi-person workstations. Never ending colorless nondescript cubicles for a mass of inmates, I say that because it resembles a prison more than an office. Zero inspiration except for a motivational poster for nonexistent office morale. “Hang in there” says the little kitten desperately clinging to a tree branch. Hang in there indeed, you’re only here for the rest of your professional life. I’m talking to you Employee #464552! You used to have a name, but you can’t remember it any more. You’ve been industrialized into the ever moving (Read More)

Space, like Time, is Money Offices are supposed to be productive workplaces and, while a little bit of chatting can allow for teamwork, share the workload and brighten up your day, at times there just is not enough focus in the workplace. So, what can be done to help this? Space, like time, is money. And, as such, many businesses cannot afford more office space. This is where a different office set up may help. Desk Pods are a way of creating collaborative workspace but also allowing screening and privacy so that workers can work more productively. Productivity: Doing More in Less Time Nowadays, people often hear the adage of doing more in less time. In order to do mor (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)

Creating an environment where two people can work together at a T shaped desk for collaboration doesn’t have to be complicated and simply put, by placing two L shaped desks together, you can create a T shape.

Four people seems to be the perfect group size. The Beatles, the Fantastic Four, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Seinfeld cast, South Park, and the Four Horsemen (the wrestling stable, not the apocalyptic version) are the cream of the crop of foursomes.

Conference rooms are important, in fact in a lot of offices they are the heart of the entire operation. It’s where daily staff meetings take place, or the all-important big meetings with clients, or safety meetings. They are even where close offices have employee birthday parties and so much more. It’s hard to put a value that a conference room has on a business. Whether big or small, the conference room has extreme value to each office. While a large office has the freedom to select almost any conference table on the market and it will fit. A small office must be more strategic. With this in mind, this blog intends to be a strategic guide for a small offic (Read More)

Trends come and go, whether for the home or everyday attire, to the restaurants we try, and the products we buy. It can be very easy nowadays, for this reason, to look negatively at trends as fleeting fads that masses of people have adopted due to social media, but trends are much more than that. Things become popular based on whether or not we find it serves us in some way, and office trends are no different. In the past few years, a multitude of trends in office furniture served individuals and employee preferences in ways that were genuinely beneficial to them. From traditional office furniture making a resurgence to the grand rise of modern office furniture, offic (Read More)

As I have covered conference tables from our inventory, I will often throw in a bonus of a fresh/trendy new design. However, after looking at them again I dare say that they are no longer a trend but a modern office furniture choice that is here to stay. I am talking about standing conference tables. What did I say? STANDING conference tables. (Perhaps I should put it in bold…) Yes, standing office furniture is making a huge push in the market these days and as 2023 rolls around, I do not see them slacking off at all. This move towards a more active office work lifestyle comes to the conference room which is the natural next progression from the personal sit stand (Read More)

Today, as I sit down to write this, I am inspired by one of our brand partners. I’ve been researching modern office design for several days, and I have come to the conclusion that if I were to have the opportunity to furnish a modern office, I would do it with Groupe Lacasse.

So, you’re in need of a big desk? Madison Liquidators can help. We have a fantastic selection of U shaped desks with hutches. These office furniture selections not only does the U shaped design provide three large desktop work areas, but the added hutch also provides a high level of storage space is a game changer for a highly productive office worker. One of the biggest considerations to make for a U shaped desk with hutch is that it takes up a large amount of square footage compared to other office furniture options. Another note is that the hutch needs to be set against an office wall for stability so placement in the office will need attention prior to purchase (Read More)

Sometimes an office needs to be partitioned off. This can be done for several reasons such as a growing office blocking off unused sections of office space, making a dedicated meeting space in an open area, or just simply for noise reduction. Whatever the case, Madison Liquidators has a variety of cubicle walls to serve your needs. But it’s a wall, right? Aren’t they all the same? The answer is yes, and no. Let’s take a closer look.

As for the no, there are many unique shapes, sizes and styles of cubicle walls. We wi (Read More)

The modern office design is increasingly popular in offices across North America these days. One of the main reasons is the design fits so well in the open office concept. From its minimalist layout to the sleek lines, and bold colors there’s just something about an office that is wide open, bathed in natural light that just naturally creates an inclusive and cooperative office. To borrow the words of Forest Gump- modern office design and open office concept “go together like peas and carrots.” When starting a modern office design, it is best to start with the centerpiece of the office, which is the desk. The most popular desk style today is the (Read More)

I was talking to management about my latest release Small Conference Tables for a Small Business or Executives Office when a larger conversation about conference tables broke out. I know that may seem weird to some people but you would be surprised just how much we talk about random office furniture not just during the 9 to 5, but seven days a week! Upon further reflection, I can see why there are so many cop and doctor dramas on television. Can you imagine a The Office type television show that revolves around office furniture instead of paper? Oh my goodness… million dollar idea! Hold up, before I start writing my masterpiece pilot episode, maybe I need to share (Read More)

  Movies like office space got us all commenting, out loud, about how ridiculous work culture is and especially cubicle mazes. The great office layout savior, open offices, came around and were supposed to boost productivity and collaboration. Instead, it made us long for the days of privacy. Now, workplaces are undergoing design changes again with activity-based working.   Knowing which is the best way to work can be confusing, as pros and cons to all options are endless. Below are some stats that might challenge what you know (and feel) about the major office layouts and ultimately, help you make informed decisions when designing your office. What are (Read More)

    Minimalist Definition What are your first thoughts about minimalism? Having only a few items? Wearing only black t-shirts? Or is it more along the lines of being intentional about what you purchase? According to the well-known 'The Minimalists,' Minimalism is: "a tool to rid yourself of life's excess in favor of focusing on what's important - so you can find happiness, fulfillment, and freedom." For those that practice minimalism in their lives, they want to simplify their way of living, truly enjoy what they have and eliminate the stress that comes with owning and acquiring more and more. This may seem like a (Read More)

One of the most common questions I get from people who know I work from home is how to furnish a home office on a budget, I get it a lot. Since I’ve been in this office furniture game for close to two and a half years now, I feel like I have gotten some insights into this question. I am by no means an interior designer, so please don’t look to me for any home remodeling advice unless you’re open to canary yellow walls throughout. I understand the desire to do a home office on a budget myself. I mean, I’m not the only person who notices that our hard earned dollars don’t go as far as they used to. It really is a different world than it (Read More)

If you follow my writing then you know that I have been a little more than heavy-handed in highlighting modern office design lately. I absolutely love it and often find inspiration within that medium. However, today, I wanted to break the cycle and go completely against the grain and touch on a traditional office design. While several of our partners have some great traditional office design elements, I will be focusing in on just one brand partner and only one of their office furniture series. That partner we will be discussing is Office Star Products and their Townsend series of traditional office designed office furniture. Before we get into it, let’s look at (Read More)

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 office can be challenging to furnish. Multiple issues arise when you begin the process of doing so. The most obvious is limited space with the conventional wisdom calling for small office furniture. However, this is often flawed due to the type of work that we do in our offices. Small desks just don’t allow us to perform the work that we are required to do daily. So, what do we do? From my own personal experience in a small office in my home, I was able to find a fantastic desk that fit the requirements of my daily duties exceptionally well. How did I do this? When I arrived in Madison for my initial training, I sat down with the skilled co-workers who are (Read More)

Office furniture accessories are often overlooked when we first furnish an office. I get it, our attention is elsewhere like finding the perfect desk for each office or ensuring that all the desks from the receptionist to the executive hold a singular cohesive style throughout the office. Which are important tasks in their own right. However, a stylish office isn’t the only aspect of an office that needs to be addressed up front. The other side of that coin is functionality. An office that looks stylish but is disorganized is not a healthy work environment at all. Instead, a little time should be given to ensure that the office functions as well as it looks. A fu (Read More)

This is my regular reminder that sit stand desks exist and improve the health of the office worker. I was talking with a friend who is an office worker from home the other day and she was complaining about how sitting down so much has made her seek out the aid of a chiropractor about once a quarter. This immediately got me championing sit stand desks as a healthy alternative that can give her much needed movement daily while still remaining just as productive. She said she had heard of them but thought they were more of a novelty than an actual fundamental change that I view them as. --subscription-box-- After a few minutes of me sending her links to great sit stand des (Read More)

A larger office typically has a reception area to match. It just makes sense; a larger office has a higher potential for guests being in the office. A busy office will need ample reception space to maintain the flow of traffic into the office. To accomplish this, a reception area needs a reception desk to handle this traffic. With a larger space an opportunity presents itself. A large reception desk! The potential can be huge. This could be a large two-person receptionist desk or a single seat piece of office furniture. There are near endless possibilities. With that in mind, I have compiled a selection of unique office furniture options to fit in a large reception are (Read More)

Training tables are so versatile for a growing office. For example- when a larger than normal conference meeting needs to be conducted, these tables make it happen. In a moment of growth, they can become temporary workstations while the office is being set up. They fit well in a cafeteria or breakroom when needed. Still, the design use is training employees. No matter the reason, these specialized office furniture fixtures come in handy in a variety of ways and serve well in each setting. There are two types of training tables to choose from- traditional fixed frame and nesting flip tops that allow for multiple tables to be placed together for valuable space saving pra (Read More)

Are you AI image fatigued yet? We hope not. If you're an avid user of Facebook or any social media platform, then by now you may be quite tired of seeing everyone and their cousin generate AI images of themselves as anime characters or with their ideal body (you know you've done it too).
