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.

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)

Executive office furniture is built to higher standards than regular office furniture with the executive in mind. Let’s take executive office chairs for example.

When it comes to furnishing new conference room office furniture, the room is not complete without the conference room chairs.
