The office furniture you choose will depend on what type of office will be using it, the size of the staff and what they will be doing, and the equipment that will be used.

Doctors and dentists often need a reception area, wherein the receptionist has a front desk, computer to look up patients and book appointments, and a phone. Her work place will need a task chair and a separate shelf included in her work space for a keyboard. The files are sometimes set up along the walls, each representing a patient. A file clerk needs lots of counter space to sort out files, alphabetize them, and so on.

The dentist or doctor has rooms for his patients, but he will also need his own office. He will have a phone with an intercom system for paging him, room on the side of his desk for personal files, and some additional shelving, or a book shelf for reference books and leaflets.

The furniture used for a telemarketing group will be very different. Groups such as this hire a lot of people to do strictly phone work. A computer will probably be used at each desk, so computer desks are needed. They obviously need phones, and a place on their desks for them, and they will probably be using ear pieces to communicate via phone.

For a publishing office, there may be drafting tables needed. The computers will be top of the line, with much work to be done on them. Therefore, good computer desks with some counter space to place the work for printing and publishing should be provided. For a sales, insurance, or real estate office, people may be in separate partitions. The computers, phones and other equipment within these partitions may be shared by different people, as this type of job does not always require one to stay in the office. Rather they will be out in the field, and checking in to the office periodically.

The work space needs to be thought of and designed before furniture is ordered. The way procedure works at the office may also be a determining factor as to where people sit and how they work.

And the boss needs some privacy. The information he has in his office is of no concern to the rest of the staff. He or she should be in a space that is very obviously his own, and yet it is not so distant that he cannot be a part of what goes on in his own company.

Also, if the office can be put together with ergonomically, the staff will be more comfortable. Ergonomic chairs can be adjusted to each different back and neck. There should be typing desks that make sense for administrative staff that does a lot of typing. Telephones should be in a convenient place, and if a lot of phone work is needed, the staff should have access to an ear piece, instead of having to hold the phone on their shoulders. A little consideration, along with design will create sensible decisions for buying office furniture.
