Then you should know, that in creation of image of the organization the important role is played with office furniture. The psychological comfort depends on it(her) as visitors, and employees of firm. So, we choose new furniture in office.
First of all it is necessary for you to know initial parameters: the sizes of a premise(room), quantity(amount) of the employees, prospective number of visitors and, certainly, the sum which you are ready to spend for furniture. In the furniture market the bottom rod of cost of one workplace - about 200 dollars. Usually it is a table, подкатная a curbstone, an armchair and a small case for documents. Cost of furniture for average office in 5 persons makes, thus, about 1000 dollars. If you ready to spend this or big sum for the seller you are the Big Boss. Remember it and demand the appropriate attitude(relation) to. The Minsk and Moscow dealers are spoilt with the demand which has increased lately for furniture, therefore let them know, that you have really become interested in their furniture, and they will tell about it(her) everything, that it is necessary for you to know. To make it it is the best, competently asking.
the First parameter of furniture - its(her) quality. It depends not on the country of manufacture, and from that, how many money the manufacturer has enclosed in manufacture. Therefore the good office furniture may be both Byelorussian, and Russian, and малазийской, and Italian. Quality - a parameter complex also develops of conformity to several basic requirements. The office furniture should be convenient and structurally balanced. At it(her) there should be all elements necessary at office. Learn(find out), whether there is in the given series that may be necessary for you not only today, but also later. It happened, that, having collided(faced) with necessity of expansion of office, the client with surprise learned(found out) about absence in the given series of cases for clothes.
a Variety of elements should provide embedding of office furniture in any premise(room). The office furniture should provide various configurations of workplaces. In the Russian market there are series with quantity(amount) of elements of 100-120 units. It is desirable to find such series. If a premise(room) of your office non-standard it is better to order a part of subjects. Modern lines in the world of office furniture design assume use of curvilinear and asymmetric designs. Probably, you perfectly will accept the bent table or a table added with an original element. Show a maximum of imagination and ask the same from the seller. Presence of additional elements a little bit will increase the sum of the order, but will allow to make office original.
Among elements should be such which would allow to generate reception (reception with special racks above the basic level of tables). Probably, for you are necessary or in the future such elements will be necessary. The office furniture should take into account modern lines in the organization of business (a computerization and so forth) Therefore in a series presence of computer tables, little tables for office equipment, supports is desirable.
the office furniture should gather and understand easily. You should have circuit on which collectors of office furniture could collect office furniture (8-10 workplaces) for 1-2 hours. At this ambassador of unitary assembly - disassembly the office furniture should look as new. If you knew, how many with a kind of beautiful and good office furniture is written off(copied) in a marriage(spoilage) after each office furniture exhibition on which she(it) costs(stands) all some days! In many respects it speaks economy of the manufacturer maintenance of quality: a weak accessories (loops, screws and so forth), fragile materials of facing of obverse and lateral panels, bad packing.
Learn(find out) from the seller, what accessories goes on the given furniture. The majority of series, irrespective of the country of manufacture of the furniture, is equipped with the Italian accessories. At survey of office furniture be convinced, that on shelfs in cases (or there where screws are twisted directly in ДСП) is not present traces of sawdust, and the material of a covering does not exfoliate. The office furniture should have the good packing providing safety at transportation. Accepting the bought furniture, closely(attentively) examine packing. On it(her) there should not be traces of dents, scratchs and other infringements. Behind a small aperture, the hole on a table-top, for example may disappear. In case it is impossible to replace the given commodity unit, ask the forwarding agent or storekeeper to open and examine the goods. At desire it is possible to draw up a statement.

the office furniture should be durable. It is useful to you and in the event that through any time you want her(it) to replace (her(it) it will be possible to sell) or to move to other premise(room). The durability of office furniture is influenced with a material and a covering of a basis, his(its) resistance to external influences. In this plan ДСП - not the most bad variant. Its(her) application is justified from the technological point of view: allows to create an equal surface for drawing a superficial layer, it is easier кроится, it is cut and finished, than natural materials. The office furniture from HDF is much more unpretentious in use, than office furniture from natural materials. A step forward in this direction - plate HDF consisting of fineer particles, rather than ДСП. HDF more technologically, it is less subject размоканию at casual and, as a rule, aggressive influence of a moisture (when breaks through a pipe of heating or conditioning).
the office furniture trimmed natural veneers, is whimsical, demands the cautious reference(manipulation). If the color of a surface reminding natural breeds of a tree is necessary for you, advise to stop on the office furniture covered ламинатом (a paper on a basis мелеминформальдегидных pitches). On it(her) any colors, including the figures simulating a natural tree are easily put. Unique lack - small wear resistance of a surface. Without a thick layer such surface is easily used up, scratched, does not suffer(bear) high-temperature influences.
the office furniture reveted so-called laminatedм - is much more adapted by rather thick layer of a polymeric covering to office conditions. His(its) thickness and methods of drawing on surface ДСП or HDF may be different, the surface, and merits and demerits identical will be different also. To advantages it is possible to attribute(relate) excellent for office conditions износо-and thermostability, to lacks - the limited opportunities имитирования natural breeds.
So, if the office furniture is necessary for you, performance or trimmed with natural breeds, - do not save. The good office furniture costs(stands) considerable money. If it wanted to have office furniture of classical, natural shades and you may provide to it(her) "not extreme" conditions of operation, we advise the laminated furniture. Well and if at your office constantly reigns revival, employees smoke behind working tables or drink coffee, an optimum choice might become the office furniture covered меламином.
it Is desirable, that you independently could be convinced of all properties of chosen furniture. For this purpose the seller should have exposition of samples of furniture. It happens, that in office furniture trade under catalogues and "спилам" ("спил" - a sample of a surface). But the sample of a surface offered to you in the size 15х15 the sm may appear insufficiently to estimate all properties of offered furniture.
If after consultation of the seller you have made a choice it is necessary to discuss conditions of payment. Usually it is an advance payment if the office furniture is available. If it is necessary to order and wait for her(it) (terms different: from one week for the Russian office furniture about one month for Italian) it is possible to agree to a partial advance payment as acknowledgement(confirmation) of your order. It is possible to agree upon an advance payment at a rate of 40 percents. If office furniture will deliver specially for you, all the same it is better to pay the order to reserve the goods and to strengthen the psychological responsibility of the seller (at non-observance of terms of delivery you have additional " a lever of pressure " on the dealer). But it is possible, that it is necessary scheduled delivery of the positions necessary to you and to pay it will be possible later; besides you will have time for reflections. In general the office furniture is better to start for choosing month for one and a half up to a deadline. The less time remains, the it is less choice.
If you liked any series of furniture, try to understand, who from dealers costs(stands) closer to the manufacturer. The Minsk and Moscow wholesalers frequently are dealers each other, that allows them to offer the expanded assortment. If at the Russian factory it is a little bit(some) dealers hardly they observe a uniform price policy(politics). If the factory is in distant foreign countries the prices may differ in times. Try to learn(find out) about a policy(politics) of discounts of each company as much as possible. Basically, the order from 600 dollars may be considered мелкооптовым or wholesale on the sizes of the company. On him(it) already there should be any discount. Usually мелкооптовые discounts about 10 %, wholesale from 15 up to 20 %, dealer from 20 up to 40 and more.
Convince the dealer that you will be his(its) constant client in the event that to you his(its) conditions came. Additional services (computer arrangement of furniture, delivery, assembly) you may at desire add in the order. In the event that such services are not present, you may ask the additional discount, having proved its(her) that to you similar services should be ordered at own expense or that such services are rendered by competitors.
Accepting furniture, be convinced, that on packing there are no traces of damages. Find out, from скольких places each position consists. In the waybill specify, how many places you have accepted. In suspicious packing it is better to return the goods at once. Especial attention turn on тумбочки. They are transported in the collected kind and quite often are to damages (especially if office furniture carry from apart). During assembly the marriage(spoilage) also may come to light. Therefore do not throw out packing before the termination(ending) of assembly of the order.
the most often defect - an incomplete complete set, for example, недовложение shelfs in a case. In that case all over again it is possible to call the seller and to tell, that you are not going to receive a superfluous detail - it is necessary for you only that the case consist of all fixed and paid parts. If not will help, threaten, that will return a case with the obligatory refund. | |
