Office Furniture Re-Upholstery And Desk Refinishing
Posted by Jody Raines on Thu, Nov 17, 2011 @ 08:27 AM
First impressions are important. When your customer enters your office, do they see a professional environment, or does the furniture create a different impression. Stand back and take a look as if you are seeing your office for the first time. Do the desks have rings from countless water glasses and coffee mugs? Do the table legs have mars and scratches? Do the seats appear worn, and saggy? Does the leather upholstery have rips or tears or scratches?
Each imperfection may not render the furniture unusuable, but over time, the appearance of the damage can give an impression of an old and worn environment.
New funiture can be costly, and while it's important to maintain that professional appearance of your office furnishings, having a maintenance contract or periodically inspecting office furniture and making plans to refurbish office furniture may pay off in the long run.
Especially the waiting area is important. Take a look at the seating and be honest with yourself - are the fabrics faded from the sun? Do they seem saggy? Are the springs worn, or the cushions lacking support? Even situations where you've aquired furniture that doesn't match - can be corrected by re-upholstering. It's suprising how much refreshed office furniture can improve productivity!
Re-upholstery does not have to be expensive. A maintenance agreement can be inexpensive insurance that the details of your office can be managed with little oversight.
Be sure your first impression is the impression that wins the sale.
