When a client is brought into your office for the first time, what meets their eyes will form a lasting impression on how they feel about you or your business. Stop for a minute and think who you would rather do business with. Business number one has a Swedish style assemble it yourself office furniture and folding chairs. Business number two has Amish mission style furniture that flows with the hand crafted excellence that most people have come to associate with the Amish. Whether it is a conscious or sub-conscious feeling, we tend to give more credence to a person that works in an office that looks permanent.
So much of the common office furniture today is mass produced using particle board and laminates. Molding is made from pressed wood fibers and instead of being hand machined is done on a press. The furniture may show wood grain on the large surface area but lacks it on the molding. It lacks a truly professional look. On the other hand, Amish mission style furniture is made from real north American wood that has been hand crafted in a small shop rather than a large factory. Each piece is hand made and hand fitted to the adjoining pieces. The end result is an impressive solid work of art.
An example of what you get when you choose Amish mission style furniture for your office can be found in the Buckingham 72 inch executive desk. It is constructed from cherry wood that will improve in color and character as the wood ages. The construction includes raised panel ends, fluted corners and an impressive one inch thick solid wood top. The workmanship is even more evident when you look into one of the seven drawers and see the dovetail construction supported by full extension drawer slides.
The Amish mission style furniture is heirloom grade furniture that can be passed down to your family when they take over the business. And, the potential business associates that you entertain in your office will be impressed with the solidity of your furniture and know that your business is going to be around for a long time. You will start with an advantage of demonstrated stability before you have even had the time to say hello to them. While your competitor, with the inexpensive pre-fabricated furniture, is trying to convince their clients of the viability of their business, you will be on to discussing the things that matter.
