Proper seating requires attention to ergonomic standards and user requirements. Chairs should support users weighing up to 120kg as a baseline, with heavy-duty models available for higher weight capacities. Seat height adjustment is essential – look for pneumatic mechanisms that allow range between 42cm and 55cm from the floor.

Lumbar support positioning matters significantly. Adjustable backrests let users position support at their lower back curve, typically 15cm to 25cm above the seat. Armrests should adjust in height and width, allowing forearms to rest parallel to the floor while typing.

For extended sitting periods exceeding six hours daily, invest in models with breathable mesh backs or high-density foam that maintains shape after repeated use. Tilt mechanisms with tension control let users rock gently, promoting circulation. British Standard BS EN 1335 certification indicates tested safety and durability.

Delivery services vary based on order size and location. For addresses within the M25, standard delivery typically occurs within 5-7 working days. Orders to Greater London areas including Croydon, Bromley, and Harrow may require an additional 2-3 days.

Assembly services are available for most items. Single desks and chairs usually take 30-45 minutes per unit. Larger installations involving multiple workstations, storage systems, or conference tables require scheduling with our installation team, who assess site access and prepare accordingly.

Ground floor deliveries with direct access are straightforward. Buildings without lifts or with narrow staircases may incur additional handling fees, particularly for items exceeding 30kg. We recommend measuring doorways, corridors, and lifts beforehand – standard door width is 76cm, but some items arrive in boxes up to 90cm wide. Our team can advise on packaging dimensions before dispatch.

Storage requirements differ significantly across departments. Accounting and legal teams handling physical documents need filing cabinets with locking mechanisms – two-drawer units hold approximately 5,000 sheets, while four-drawer models accommodate 10,000 sheets. Fire-resistant cabinets meeting BS 476 standards protect sensitive records.

Creative departments often prefer open shelving for reference materials and samples. Adjustable shelves accommodate varying item heights, with typical spacing between 25cm and 40cm. Mobile pedestals with castors provide flexibility in open-plan layouts, moving easily between workstations as needed.

Shared storage areas benefit from cupboards with adjustable shelving. Standard units are 80cm wide and 180cm tall, fitting most ceiling heights. Sliding door mechanisms save space compared to hinged doors in tight areas. For IT equipment, ventilated cabinets prevent overheating of servers and networking hardware.

Warranty periods reflect component quality and expected lifespan. Seating typically carries 3-5 year warranties covering mechanisms, gas lifts, and structural frames. Fabric and upholstery usually have shorter coverage of 1-2 years due to normal wear from daily use.

Desks and storage units generally include 5-year warranties on structural integrity, though surface finishes may have separate terms. Height-adjustable desk mechanisms often carry 3-year coverage, with motors and electronics warranted separately from frames.

Regular maintenance extends product life considerably. Wipe surfaces weekly with appropriate cleaners – avoid abrasive products on laminate. Vacuum fabric chairs monthly and treat stains promptly. Lubricate moving parts like drawer slides and chair mechanisms annually. Tighten loose screws and bolts every six months, particularly on heavily-used items. Keep warranty documentation and purchase receipts for any future claims or service needs.

For substantial orders outfitting multiple workstations, we provide several evaluation options. Fabric and finish samples are available by post, showing actual materials used in production. These swatches let you assess color accuracy, texture, and durability under your lighting conditions.

Showroom visits can be arranged at our Victoria Road location in London, where you can test chairs, examine desk construction, and compare storage configurations. Appointments ensure staff availability to discuss your requirements and space constraints. Bring floor plans and photos of your current setup for more targeted recommendations.

For orders exceeding £5,000, we offer trial periods on select items. This lets your team use products in your actual environment before committing to larger quantities. Trial arrangements vary by product type and availability, with terms discussed during consultation. This approach reduces risk when standardizing across departments or multiple locations.
