Laminate - VeneerCHAIRS
Questions & Answers
What’s the di�erence between a laminate desk and a veneer desk?
Laminates actually use photo-graphic reproductions of real hardwood surfaces, but the image quality is so high that it can be di�cult to distinguish it from authentic wood. This image is bonded to the surface of a wood composite, which is typi-cally a type of particle board. The result is an uncanny resemblance to solid wood. Laminates are highly durable, inexpensive, and low maintenance.
The ancient Egyptians are cred-ited with the �rst evidence of veneer construction, which takes thin layers of wood (or other materials, such as ivory or marble) and permanently bonds them to a center core. The purpose of this technique is to create a balanced or uniform surface design. Thin, consecutive layers from one log could be used for a matching or repeating grain pattern - something incon-ceivable with solid wood.
When veneer became more a�ordable with the advance of technology, it naturally became more popular. Today, nearly eighty percent of wood furniture in every price range uses veneer construction. With the advances in adhesives over the past few decades, veneer construction is stronger than ever. Stronger and more durable even than solid wood.

WHy CAN’T FACILITy MANAGERSHAVE IT ALL? BY JOSH SMARGIASSI
FURNITURE LESSON
FR
OM AUTO
INDUSTRy
Ever lease or buy a high end luxury vehicle? If not, drop by a local showroom. More than likely, the event will convey a new understanding of professionalism
and customer service. This is because the luxury car shop-ping experience does not end with the sale of the vehicle. It extends well through the warranty, leasing, and payment processes, which are typically among the best in the business.
So, here’s the question. When will the office furniture mar-ketplace learn from the high end auto industry and provide buying and leasing options that benefit end users as well as facility managers? Both industries sell sophisticated as-sets and spend millions in developing design, performance, ergonomics, and materials. But the car industry delivers a far better product—from assets to options.
When customers walk into nearly any of today’s reputable,
upscale car dealers, they can choose from new or used assets while deciding upon a wide variety of leasing and buying options. New or used, for sale or for lease, all vehi-cles will be offered with warranties and options designed to make the customer walk out of the dealership with keys in hand.
Some dealers are embracing the pre-owned market as a cost effective, complementary product offering that provides style and quality in addition to broad product inventories.
But after walking into an office furniture dealership, buy-ers of all types (including facility managers) are likely to be hit with well worn lead times in addition to value proposi-tions from the same manufacturer with a proposal to buy. Then, and only if the price isn’t agreed upon, will an option to lease be presented. But if the word “used” is mentioned
the

(“Certified Pre-owned” has not yet entered the lexicon in this area), a mad scramble will immediately ensue that
wholesaler willing to cut a deal with the original salesperson.
Wouldn’t it be nice to find a furniture dealer that provides a variety of intriguing, clever, and cost saving furniture
Most car manufacturers respect their dealer’s right to make money—which doesn’t necessarily mean selling only new cars. They know that selling used vehicles is slightly risky, but it is still mostly profitable if done right. They accept the fact that a used luxury car on the road is market share, and the owner will hopefully love the experience enough to buy
In leasing more vehicles and then reclaiming them at lease expirations, dealers have also created a new, enhanced revenue stream fueled by the extremely profitable, certified pre-owned and sub-prime markets. This is an exceptionally heady move that comes at a time when market share for the Big Three has declined, and drastic economic measures are being considered.
To the general detriment of end users and facility manag-
slow to follow the same sales and leasing patterns adopted by the auto industry. This is also ironic, since both Michi-gan-based industries have similar histories and roots.In the late 1960s and early 1970s, changing import rules and fuel shortages combined with stagnant innovation began to shake up the American auto industry. At the
reinvention.
This market exploded in 1968 when the world’s first panel

needs. With this flexibility, facility managers could easily upgrade their company’s infrastructure to accommodate corporate moves, growth spurts, or even downsizings.
Eventually, a new entrepreneur emerged alongside the -
bish everything from cubicles and chairs to work stations and desks and sell the updated furnishings for half the cost. Furniture manufacturers responded by examining their ability to sell against their own refurbished systems.
For years, a major sales point for new furniture was the quality of construction and longevity of the asset. Naturally, original furniture manufacturers wouldn’t claim their prod-ucts were badly designed or poorly built.

Capitalizing on this conflict, disreputable suppliers went to work. Some brokers demeaned the industry and incited buyer distrust by employing a series of dishonest strate-gies that commonly included bait and switch tactics. In
response, legitimate manufacturers and dealers warned consumers against the dangers of dealing with unsavory suppliers of used furniture.
Fortunately, the appeal of significant savings (sometimes as much as 50%) coupled with honorable used suppliers kept enough customers interested and eventually gained their loyal support. The result has been the evolution of full
services and high quality merchandise.
Today, “pre-owned” furniture dealers commonly operate as alternative sources to local suppliers of new product. Some dealers are even following the lead of the auto industry by developing more sophisticated buying options for the
24-month leases with upgrade options, and special value for trade in of product.
For many years, facility managers have wondered why they
they can, as long as they are able to optimize the value of
Here are some tips on how to accomplish these goals.
1 Before purchasing furniture assets, have the dealer estimate its residual market value after two, three, four, and even five years. The same should also be done with
existing furniture before trade ins. This information will help project furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) decisions.
2 Carefully review the dealer’s written service agreement while scheduling annual visits to main-tain furniture assets. Good service agreements are
designed to protect the furniture’s residual value and the customer’s return on investment.
3 Carefully review all the available purchasing and leas-ing options with the dealer. Leasing options such as fair market value leases, asset based lending, or fixed
4 Select a dealer that understands the import and used
opportunities without sacrificing quality.
5 Thoroughly evaluate the dealer’s ability to refurbish, store, and manage assets. The long-term cost sav-
capabilities can help save a great deal of money over the life of the asset.
For some furniture customers, the purchasing mission isn’t easy because of the myriad of options. Still, thanks to

ALEXANDRIA, VA (November 11, 2011) – The Office Furniture Dealers Alliance (OFDA) has announced that its 2012 Dealer Strategies
Conference will be held on October 28-30 at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas.
One of the newest hotels on the Las Vegas strip, the $3.9 billion Cosmopolitan facility opened on Decem-ber 15, 2010 and features 2,995 rooms; a 75,000 sq. ft. casino; 300,000 sq. ft. of retail and restaurant space; a 40,000 sq. ft. spa and fitness facility; an 1,800 seat theater; and 150,000 sq. ft. of meeting/convention space.The decision to hold OFDA’s annual meeting in Las Vegas was heavily influenced by direct input from association members, after staff and board direc-tors researched and made site visits to a variety of choice locations around the country. Once the search was narrowed down to either Las Vegas or the suburbs of Chicago, attendees at the 2011 Dealer Strategies Conference were asked to cast a ballot for their preference.
“The overwhelming majority of attendees chose Las Vegas as their destination of choice for the confer-ence,” said Chris Bates, OFDA’s president. “The 2012 location is as exciting as the conference program will be, and if the past three year’s conferences are any indicator, we’re on track to offer attendees an education-packed conference program with ample opportunities for networking.”With leadership from OFDA’s directors, a 2012 conference planning task force already is beginning work on next year’s program topics and speakers.Registration and hotel reservations will be available at the beginning of the year. For more information visit http://www.ofdanet.org/conference or call 800.542.6672.

Questions & Answers

What’s the di�erence between a box box �le and a �le �le?
A box box �le is what it sounds like. It has two small box �les on top and one larger �le drawer underneath. A box box �le is good for employees that will need extra storage besides their �ling needs. For instance, if you have an employee that uses rulers, markers or pencils on a regular basis you might think about utilizing the versatility of a box box �le.
A �le �le is simply two �le draw-ers stacked on top of one another. This provides extra �ling space for the employee.
Many companies utilize a com-bination of box box �les and �le �les or a combination of a lateral �le and a box box �le. A lateral �le is like having two �le �le pedestals in one.
