Absolute Office of Oregon,
It has been a pleasure working with John Dean. His vast knowledge of the products, creativity in problem solving, and willingness to do whatever it takes is remarkable. Additionally, we appreciate the attention he pays to our budget— especially with recommendations of how we might save dollars and maintain quality. John is always pleasant to work with and responsive to our requests and needs. We have worked with several office furniture suppliers in the Portland area and Absolute Office is by far the best, most affordable, and most pleasant to work with.
Just last week we needed a 30” table to finish off a work group. He gave us several good choices but the costs seemed just too high for our needs. We asked if he had any used furniture sources. John went and searched Craig’s list, found something suitable, and then at our rather sheepish request went and purchased it for us. Then delivered it to our offices the next day! All of that service with a $10 charge— Amazing.
We’re so thankful for the excellent service that Absolute Office has given us.
It has been a delight working with them.
Warmly,
Mark

First Christian Church recommends Absolute Office of Oregon
May 2009
To Whom It May Concern:
I am pleased to recommend Absolute OFFICE of Oregon for any and all your furniture needs. When we finished our construction project at First Christian Church, I looked at many in-store and on- line companies to provide us with the furniture options that we needed. Being a non-profit kept us on a stringent budget that we had to address. I found that John Dean, co-owner of Absolute OFFICE of Oregon, addressed our furniture needs as well as honored our budgetary requirements in a manner that allowed us to acquire the furniture that we needed.
On numerous occasions John went out of his way to bring by different chair samples for us to try out for a few days. He listened to our needs and kept working with us until we found just the right items. His knowledge, understanding and quality of the products he represents are exceptional. His professionalism, service and creativity made working with him and his company a wonderful and stress-free experience. As the co-owner of Absolute OFFICE of Oregon, John donated part of the delivery charges by installing the product himself, resulting in an even greater savings to us, his clients.
Through this entire process, Absolute OFFICE of Oregon was on time and on budget. I recommend them without hesitation and would work with them again if given the opportunity.
Sincerely,
Robyn Gett
Office Administrator

"Legacy Realty Co." Jean Hogan comments about Absolute Office of Oregon
“If your office flow is not working for you then John Dean is the answer! He helped Legacy Realty Co.com when new desks were needed. He not only helped with the design but installed it!! He is knowledgeable and carries the widest selection of office furniture and accessories imaginable and he provides the very best solutions, delivers on time and his customer follow-up is unmatched! If you and your staff are sitting on top of each other, if filing cabinets have taken over valuable space....give John a call...he can help!!”
Thank you Jean!!! It's great to work with another professional person that takes customer service seriously!

Why Movable Walls?
Why Movable Walls?
If you make a thorough comparison, you’ll see that you can achieve significant savings by implementing movable walls instead of drywall. When you add up complete project costs including those for installation, demolition, paint or coverings, hardware and the time required to install and reconfigure and all related hardware, you’ll see you come out ahead with movable walls. And of course, you get built-in flexibility that’s simply not possible with drywall. Compare for yourself.
Movable Walls:
Cost-competitive when you include all costs — doors, hardware, framing, trim, glazing and vinyl
Less expensive to install — only one trade required
No disposal costs on reconfiguration
Drywall:
May seem less expensive until you do a real "apples to apples” comparison
Higher installation costs — six or more trades plus supervision required
Reconfiguration requires disposal — adds to cost to the installation
Movable Walls:
Fast, clean installation
Pre-finished — no further painting or finishing needed
Less disruptive to employees — reduced absenteeism
Non-damaging to floors and ceilings
Drywall:
Slow, messy installation
Needs paint or other finishes — adds to time, costs, environmental considerations
Cannot be done with employees working nearby
Damages both floors and ceilings
Movable Walls:
Reconfiguration can be done in hours
Many choices of wall, glazing, and door types - specifying is easy
Drywall:
Reconfiguration takes weeks
Design choices will require planning, specifying and additional purchases
