Office spaces need to be fully functional, and this means having furniture and fixtures that work and look presentable. Creaky chairs, wobbly tables, cracked countertops, and rusty filing cabinets can be nuisances and eyesores. These little distractions might not seem like much, but it’s a constant inconvenience if you spend at least 8 hours in the office every day.
Why put up with this when you can invest in newer, better furniture that will increase productivity and improve your office aesthetic? Find out if you need to invest in new equipment for your workplace with this quick checklist:
It gets noisy—too noisy
A squeaky chair can be the bane of a busy writer. Uneven tables can disrupt the flow of presentations. The sound of rusty drawers can ruin anyone’s concentration, preventing people from working peacefully.
You feel like you’ve endured a long-haul flight after a day at the office
You get aching muscles, a sore back, or hurting joints after spending a day in the office. Here’s a useful tip: invest in ergonomic office furniture! You can thank us later.
Your office furniture often breakdown or no longer serve their purpose
Your office chairs, tables, sofas, counters, and pedestals break down over time and depreciate. When you’re always calling maintenance to fix them or when they’re just sitting there taking up space, you know it’s time to replace your workplace furniture.
You spend way too much on repairs
When you spend too much money on repairing your assets, you might want to consider investing in replacements. This will save you the inconvenience of having to schedule repairs which disrupt office operations.
Your guests notice
You know it’s bad when your guests start to comment on your “vintage-looking” office tables and chairs (and not in a good way, of course). You never want to look cheap in front of your guests—especially when they’re your clients. Dress your workplace to impress!
