Conference Tables

There are a number of locations that can benefit from a conference table. The most obvious one is of course the conference room. This is not, however, the only part of your office where you might want to consider putting one. A large executive suite can often benefit from being furnished with a meeting space in which employees or new clients can assemble.

It is not just office settings that might require a boardroom table. Even schools, houses of worship and other venues should consider this worthwhile purchase. Conference tables can host planning meetings, faculty gatherings or departmental training sessions. When the executive committee or PTA gets together to discuss important decisions, this formal setting will help set the tone.

The right table selection depends on what your particular needs are. You need to think about how many seats you want to have, and how your space can accommodate this arrangement. It is also important to think about how the shapes you are considering will fit in your conference room. Most importantly, you need to make sure that everyone seated around your table will be comfortable. You certainly don’t want anyone to feel cramped or have trouble squeezing around the seats to get out of the room.

After you have determined that a conference room table is desired, shape selection can begin. The classic rectangular option creates two prominent positions on either end with plenty of other seats in between. A boat-shaped or racetrack conference table offers the same configuration with slight variations. The boat shape gives each participant that is seated around the table a bit of extra room, while the racetrack option fits better in tighter spaces.

Although most options are built to seat eight or more people, smaller tables are available as well. We have a number of small round conference tables that can fit inside a larger office that doesn’t have a completely separate large conference space. They offer the same contemporary or traditional professional styles, but in a more compact design.

There is more to a great meeting space than a great table. You will probably want additional furniture in your boardroom such as a presentation board, lectern and maybe even bookshelves. Whichever furniture you determine to be necessary for your space, it is important to make sure that it matches with your conference table. A coordinated conference space makes a great impression and enhances the professionalism of your company or institution.

Most of Hertz Furniture’s conference tables come from great office furniture collections.

Nothing can replace comfortable seating in an office or school. When people have a supportive place to sit, they are able to maximize productivity and maintain a better outlook throughout the day. Even when seating is only used on a temporary basis, no one can truly enjoy a ceremony or performance when they are seated in an uncomfortable chair. OFM folding chairs and stacking chairs are ideal for events and performances. They look and feel great, so you can easily transform a gym into an auditorium or a social hall into a banquet venue.

Guests, visitors and clients also need a place to sit while they are waiting for meetings or appointments. When choosing reception furniture, it is important to balance style and comfort. OFM reception chairs and guest chairs come in many styles and colors which can be coordinated to wall colors or other furniture. From fabric chairs to beam seating, the possibilities are virtually endless.

A few fabric chairs will fit in well in the lobby of a law firm or startup where there won't be more than a few people waiting at a time. In a doctor's office or any other place where there could be a number of people waiting, beam seating is a great choice. It provides individual seats in a long row so everyone can have personal space but many people can sit at once.

Office chairs are the most important seating that will have the greatest impact on your company. When employees can sit properly, they are able to work better and faster, and stay happier while they do it. OFM offers a variety of ergonomic office chairs which have different combinations of adjustable features and upholstery choices. Ergonomics is especially important when considering computer furniture. When professionals are properly supported throughout the day by appropriate computer chairs, they can go home without aches and pains.

The right seating is not complete without equally appropriate tables. Give students or employees a great place to take coffee breaks or eat lunch with intimate cafe tables. When hosting a professional-development session or external seminar, functional training tables are essential. With sleek seminar tables, you can provide a great space for taking notes, so participants can easily follow the presentation.

Tables are also an integral piece of conference furniture. Aside from the reception area, the other space where clients and potential business partners are most likely to go when they visit an office is the conference room. The conference table is the centerpiece of the room which sets the tone for the rest of the space. Make sure to choose a shape and size that fit the number of people you will have in the room comfortably.

In the educational setting functional, budget-friendly furniture is a must-have. Educators need appropriate work spaces just as much as their students and other professionals do. Show your hard-working teachers that their efforts are appreciated by providing teachers desks in every classroom. With a work surface and some convenient drawers, it is easy for educators to stay organized and prepare engaging lessons.

With OFM's enticing line of office and school furniture, visitors, students and employees will look forward to entering your beautifully-furnished space. When you combine cozy and supportive seating with sleek, functional work surfaces, you can't go wrong. Give your employees and students the all-star treatment they deserve with OFM furniture.
