Hunters Furniture is a Tier 1 Office Furniture Dealer

Since 1990, Hunters Furniture has been helping clients to specify, procure, and install office furniture. In this article, we’ll breakdown the advantages of using an independent office furniture dealer.

Benefits of using an independent Office Furniture Dealer

1 – Independence. A fully independent UK office furniture supplier will always offer non-bias advise on the best office furniture solution. Being impartial allows for a truly tailored solution that often consists of desks, chairs, tables, storage and seating.

An independent office furniture dealer will provide value and unique workspaces with quality office furniture.

Budgeting for Office Furniture

2 – Quality & Budget management. An office furniture dealer has access to hundreds of manufacturers, with a huge range of modern office furniture from UK and afar. Hunters Furniture is well placed to create the ideal workspace with any budget.

For example, an ergonomic chair can cost between £100 and £1000. Both products will function as chairs, however the lower cost option would perhaps not perform as well in comfort or longevity.

Office seating is where you should spend most of the workstation budget. Why? Because the office chair is where most office users will spend their time. An inferior chair could have negatives affects on health. Our established processes with mitigate against the risks of furniture being sent to landfill. This is a risk when furniture is bought from budget range online office furniture suppliers.

As with most things, high quality office furniture comes at a price. Our advice is to look for the middle price range price, that’s if your budget can stretch that far. Office chairs have the most options available and hardest to navigate.

We work best when the overall budget for a new office is agreed from the beginning. The advantage is that we can tailor the selection to your requirements, managing expectations throughout the process to deliver quality office furniture.

Sustainable office furniture is a must for the 21st century

3 – Sustainable furniture. Sustainability should feature high on the priority list when selecting office furniture. The right selection of products can still be both affordable and stylish.

Having experience of meeting building design standards is advantageous when selecting a company to supply office furniture, so look for project experience in this area. Examples of those standards includes, BREEAM, WELL and SKA.

We are proud to be Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified. FSC products mitigate against illegal deforestation, bribery and modern slavery.

4 – Value for money. There’s a common misconception that purchasing furniture directly from manufacturers is more cost-effective than appointing an office furniture dealer. This is rarely the case.

Workplace office furniture dealers trade in such high volumes that we receive far higher discounts from RRP. Even with services and management fees applied, the client should be buying new office furniture and office accessories at a lower cost.

It’s important for your business to get all the added value, service and aftercare.

Furniture Dealer Account and Project Management

5 – Account management. A single point of contact for any warranty and servicing issues. The variety of office furniture can create a lot of work for the facilities team and other employees. Remember, different products of different warranty lengths. Any products covered by the 5-year warranty period carry a certain level of associated risk.

An office furniture dealer will manage all product warranties. The added services gives you a single point of contact for all furniture related matters.

6 – Project management. Delivery & coordination is the key to a successful furniture installation. Everything needs to happen in the right sequence. An efficient and experienced project management team will avoid costly mistakes. Nobody wants a conference table with incompatible seating, or office desks that do not line up with the floor box power.

A typical office project requires the fit out of desks and storage. Meeting tables are often installed early in the programme. Finalising the project includes the installation of soft seating and loose chairs. Smaller office furniture projects are less complicated, and they can be complete in a single day delivery.

The rise in popularity of the height adjustable desk in the office environment

7 – True Innovation. Office design trends are areas Hunters Furniture likes to follow closely. Considerable progress has been made since customers had to contemplate the straightforward choice of office desks and chairs. Today’s modern office requires greater flexibility. Flexible personal storage allows users to work in different areas of the office space.

Providing office furniture for all modes of work is common. The demand for focus, collaboration, and private areas has increased.  The ever popular height adjustable, or sit stand desk is prevalent across many of our projects. A height adjustable desk offers the user full control over their ergonomic position at the desk using the touch of a button.

8 – Excellence. Service is the foundation of all good quality office furniture suppliers. Buying directly online diminishes the value chain. A furniture dealer is able to consult on the environmental and social benefits of buying a specific brand.

Finally, our recommended suppliers focus on making high quality products. In turn we pride ourselves on understanding your requirements. By selecting the right range of products, we are able to make your money work harder. Why not give your business the office boost it deserves, and choose us as your preferred office furniture supplier?
