Mayline Office Furniture, a great option.
For those of you who don't know, Mayline is one of the most reputable office furniture brands on the market. If you are looking to purchase quality furniture for your workspace without breaking the budget. Look no further than Mayline.Mayline provides everything from desks, conference tables, chairs, and drafting tables. All at competitive prices. Our company uses it as well. We trust the Mayline brand for these reasons; quality products, discount prices, and excellent customer service. Mayline was established in 1939 as the Engineering Supply Company. Believe it or not they actually invented the straight edge! The company started off providing navigational and mapping accessories to the military. Since the early days, Mayline has moved to the head of office ergonomics. To this day they provide one of the largest office furniture offering in the world. Not only has Mayline stood the test of time they have paved the way for company divisions such as:Tiffany Industries - In 1924, Tiffany Industries invented the typewriter stand, which is still sold today. The first mid-market, modular workstation of its kind was introduced by Tiffany Industries in 1979 and helped people evolve along with their work environments. Tiffany Industries has had the longest running "Lifetime Guarantee" in the industry since 1926 ! Today, Tiffany product solutions now include MODULAR WORKSTATIONS, TRAINING AND MEETING ROOM TABLES, as well as MOBILE PERSONAL COMPUTER STATIONS for small and home offices.Kwik File - Founded in 1965, Kwik-File had humble beginnings with an owner who was primarily a regional dealer of office products, but with a unique idea for steel office organizers for desktop and flipper-door hutches. After manufacturing these products regionally for awhile, word spread quickly and it wasn't long before dealers in other parts of the country were demanding access to the unique features and space-saving benefits they provided. For the next twenty years, Kwik-File's product lines and market presence expanded dramatically, owing their success to being able to organize "paper flow" in the office more efficiently. Expertise in forms and literature storage led to mail sorting cabinets and eventually Kwik-File secured the dominant position in the marketplace for mailroom furniture. Today, MAILFLOW SYSTEMS, FORMS AND LITERATURE STORAGE, space-saving END-TABLE FILING CABINETS, and STACKABLE SHELVING, are just a few of the many products available from Kwik-File designed to improve information processing, storage and retrieval.Lastly, the newest and fastest growing division, Mayline Network Products, has spent the last five years providing security and organization to all types of networking environments. There strategy is to avoid the "one-size-fits-all" approach, which rarely helps customers achieve the proper solutions to their needs. Instead, Mayline Network Products always provides its clients with a "good-better-best" approach in order to meet the requirements and budgets established for any project. The Mayline Network products line offers a complete line of OPEN PLAN RACKING SYSTEMS and DATA CABINETS in a variety of aesthetics, configurations and in every price range. Mayline also provides a quality warranty for all there products. The customer support team at Mayline is always available to help with your needs or concerns. Most products ship within 1 week of your order. With these benefits its no wonder why Mayline is so respected by office furniture dealers around the world. In today's world it's easy to buy furniture from a company that does not provide half of these benefits. When deciding on your next office furniture purchase I highly recommend using Mayline. Companies are proud to offer the entire Mayline product line. They stand behind there products and will be happy to answer any questions you may have in regards to there product offering.

Is That "Ergonomic Chair" Really Ergonomic?
Not everybody knows exactly what ergonomic means, but it's getting to the point where everybody knows an "ergonomic chair" is better than just some plain old chair. Thus even Joe Newbie is more likely to buy the ergonomic chair than the chair that is not advertised as ergonomic.
The problem is stores and manufacturers are starting to put the word ergonomic in front of every chair they sell, whether it has anything to do with ergonomics or not. There is more to ergonomics than a little added cushioning in the seat.
So, What Is an Ergonomic Chair?
Ergonomics is the study of equipment designed with humans in mind, meant to reduce operator fatigue and discomfort. Specifically, an ergonomic chair should be highly adjustable, including not just a knob for lowering and raising the chair but adjustability in the back tilt and the height of the arm rests. An ergonomic chair should also have a sturdy frame, a great deal of support, especially in the lumbar region, and padding that has some give and supports your body without losing shape.
Real ergonomic chairs cost hundreds of dollars. Look for manufacturers that specialize in ergonomics and are known for producing quality chairs. Examples are Neutral Posture Chairs and HON Chairs. Avoid gimmicky chairs (such as kneeling chairs and ball chairs) unless you have actually had the opportunity to try one and feel it's a good fit for your body. Remember, the chair that is comfortable when you first sit in it may not remain so after several hours.
Why and When Should You Consider Buying an Ergonomic Chair?
An ergonomic chair promotes good posture, reduces the fatigue that comes with sitting in one position for a protracted period of time.
Anybody who spends more than an hour a day at the computer should consider buying a good ergonomic chair. If you work 8 hours a day or more at the computer, you should definitely have a good ergonomic chair

I’m frequently asked “So who rents”? I’ve heard this question so often at networking events, that I’ve developed a simple one statement answer; “The same type of individual who leases a car rather than buying one! Furniture rental is an attractive alternative to investing cash in a furniture purchase, especially when your requirement is short term. New starts up firms usually have limited financial resources to devote to the business, they want to maximize their investment options, look closely at rental versus purchase as a solution.

Hon Introduces the New Ignition Chair Collection
From the lobby to the corner office… collaborating to computing… big to small employees… the new Ignition™ collection from The HON Company delivers seating that fits who you are, how you work and where you work. It’s a new full-line platform that addresses the total office seating needs of today’s value-conscious businesses.
“Ignition provides a complete solution,” said Fred Colony, vice president of seating with The HON Company. “Ignition’s exceptional breadth of function supports a wide range of users and applications, while its slim profile and clean, contemporary design easily coordinates with any workplace.”
Created by notable designer Wolfgang Deisig, the Ignition seating line fits who you are, how you work and where you work:
· Fits who you are: Because employees come in all shapes and sizes, Ignition was created to accommodate most users by offering three back-height options (low-, mid- or high-back), and seats that are proportioned to the back height. Ignition will fit body types from the 5th to the 95th percentile.
· Fits how you work: Everyone’s job is just a little bit different and Ignition supports everything from quick collaboration to long periods of computer use by allowing users to match adjustment features to work tasks. It offers two arm options (fixed and adjustable) and three tilt functions (Swivel/Tilt, Synchro-tilt and Synchro-tilt with Independent Back Angle) which allow the user to customize the chair to support light, medium or heavy/desk computer work.
· Fits where you work: From the lobby to the corner office, the Ignition seating collection fits everywhere – conference rooms, lounges, workstations – and even tight spaces. Its sleek, smart design presents a professional, coordinated look while still expressing the individual personality of an office environment.
To complement a variety of office styles, Ignition is offered in a wide range of upholsteries; and the mid-back and low-back chairs are available in a mesh-back, as well. The Ignition seating family is also backed by The HON Company’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Products within the Ignition collection include:
· High-back, executive, conference, work and task chairs
· Mid-back conference, work and task chairs
· Low-back conference, work and task chairs
· Task Stools
· Guest and Lounge seating
An additional benefit of Ignition is its SCS Indoor Advantage™ Gold indoor air quality certification by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS). Products achieving SCS Indoor Advantage Gold meet the most rigorous indoor air quality criteria in all of North America.
Furthering its environmental impact, Ignition is made utilizing HON’s compression molding (Comold) process, which combines postconsumer wood waste with a binding agent and is molded into the chair’s structural components. This process alone enables nearly 10,000 tons of postconsumer wood waste to be diverted from landfills every year and eliminates the need to cut down 5,000 acres of virgin forest annually.
