Top 5 things to consider when choosing New Office Furniture

June 20, 2012

1. Budget
The amount you want to spend will have a big impact on what choices you have. At Krost, we have a lot of advantages that allow us to pass through great price savings. Our vertically integrated supply chain and strong history in the marketplace enable us to supply high quality products at very competitive prices.

2. Layout/Space
Workspace requirements will change with different organisational structures. Employees should have enough space to organise themselves and work neatly. Cramped workspaces can lead to low motivation, low morale and ultimately decreased efficiency. Our sales consultants are space planning experts and can provide a furniture solution tailored to your company. It’s also important to take into account additional needs such as types of computers, telephones, and the amount of power and data access points required.

3. Aesthetics
How do you want to represent your company? Aesthetics should not be underestimated as they can portray a certain message to staff and customers about the companies positioning and professionalism. Different moods can also be created by changing the colours and choosing different chairs, desks, or screens.

4. Comfort/Ergonomics
Ergonomically designed office furniture will give two main benefits:
1. Increased Health
2. Increased Productivity
Ergonomic furniture is probably the best investment a business owner can make in their employees. Recent scientific studies showing a statistically significant correlation between workplace ergonomics and job performance, satisfaction and employee wellbeing.

5. Materials
Choosing materials that are durable and robust is crucial. They must be able to withstand commercial levels of traffic. Krost offers table tops and fabric upholstery in a wide range of finishes and material compositions so that we can provide a custom-fit for your organisation.
