Do it in a sand color that will keep it neutral and then you can use any other colors to accent the office the way you want to.

Here's a tip if your office is in the Birmingham area. A real quality cleaning company there is Adept Cleaning. They cover all aspects of office cleaning from windows and carpets to the usual. The main point is they really do make the effort to impress you with results rather than sales talk.

Does anyone know of a reputable on-line site that sells cheap office furniture?

Question by ihcuids: Does anyone know of a reputable on-line site that sells cheap office furniture?
I'm creating a small office space in my basement and I'm looking for a good site on-line to buy a desk with hutch and a bookcase from. I've tried walmart, target, office max, staples, and office depot. Does anyone know of anymore like these stores?

Answer by Elizabeth
Try Ikea first (www.ikea.com), they have cheap furniture and shipping is usually cheap... also try looking at the college 08 websites that walmart, target, bed, bath, and beyond, and kmart do. Sometimes they offer different merchandise on those sites that you might not have looked at yet.

How can I identify an old piece of office furniture?

Question by admiral: How can I identify an old piece of office furniture?
I think this piece came from an architects office, it's a tower of 10 drawers, made of oak, possibly from the 1920's -- 30's.
It has cast iron drawer handles, with space in the handles for drawer content cards.

One way to tell is to look for dove-tail joints in the outside corners of the drawers. This is a technique used in older carpentry to join two pieces of wood together, fitting them together sort of like a jigsaw puzzle, instead of how they tend to do it today with dowels and glue.

Get solid wood. Anything made of particle board or crap like that is full of formaldehyde and God knows what else, bad for your health as it off gasses for years. Plus it's much weaker and uglier than real wood.
Just look for well built stuff.

What is the return policy on office furniture items when purchased?

Question by Arnolds Offur: What is the return policy on office furniture items when purchased?
What is the return policy on office furniture items when purchased?

Best answer:

Answer by capwest5a
It varies according to the company. You fail to mention what company you are asking about.

Look up the company's website to view their return policy. Most places allow returns within 30 days. It's not like you can use office furniture for a few months or a couple years and then expect to be able to return it.

Many companies will also charge a ‘restocking fee', meaning that you will only get 80% or 85% of your money back.
