OUR PROCESS TO BRING YOU SUCCESS
CONSULTATION
Your needs take center stage. We begin by asking the right questions to gain a deeper understanding of your space. For residential clients, we ask you to come into our showroom, look around at our products, get to know more about the design possibilities, and then discuss your vision before we create a customized concept drawing.
For commercial & residential clients, we invite you to share your space plans and schedule a meeting, enabling us to comprehensively outline the project's scope.
DESIGN
Next, our skilled team crafts visual mockups, accompanied by an initial budget assessment to fit what you’re looking for. From here, we will make any necessary edits and start focusing on the details. Before beginning your project, the consultant you’re working with will complete a walk through and field measurement of your space as well as answer any additional questions.
DELIVERY & INSTALL
Lead times vary based on project size and material choices. We're proud to uphold a five to eight-week lead time, spanning from the deposit phase to the installation finale. To begin production, we request a minimum deposit of 50% or a purchase order. As installation day approaches, the remaining balance becomes due.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the differences between American-made and imported furniture?
The choice between American-made laminate desks and imported laminate desks depends on factors such as budget, desired quality, customization needs, and personal preferences for design and craftsmanship. While American-made desks may offer superior quality and craftsmanship, imported desks can provide more affordable options with varying levels of quality and customization.
Materials:
- American-made laminate desks may use higher-quality core materials, such as industrial-grade particleboard, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), or plywood. These materials are often sourced locally and may be subject to stricter quality control standards.
- Imported laminate desks may use lower-grade particleboard or MDF for the core, which can vary in quality depending on the manufacturer and product line. While some imported desks may use similar materials to American-made desks, others may prioritize cost-cutting measures that could affect durability and longevity.
Craftsmanship:
- American-made laminate desks often prioritize craftsmanship and attention to detail. They may be crafted using traditional woodworking techniques and undergo thorough quality control processes to ensure a high standard of construction.
- Imported laminate desks may be mass-produced in factories overseas, with a focus on efficiency and cost-effectiveness. While some manufacturers may maintain high-quality standards, others may prioritize speed and volume over meticulous craftsmanship.
Quality Standards:
- American-made laminate desks are typically subject to higher quality standards, with greater oversight and accountability throughout the manufacturing process. This can result in a more durable and reliable product.
- Imported laminate desks may vary in quality depending on the manufacturer and country of origin. While some imported desks may meet or exceed quality standards, others may be of inconsistent quality due to differences in manufacturing practices and regulations.
Customization Options:
- American-made laminate desks may offer more customization options, allowing customers to choose from a variety of finishes, hardware, dimensions, and design features. This level of customization can cater to specific preferences and requirements.
- Imported laminate desks may have limited customization options due to the mass-production nature of overseas manufacturing. While some imported desks may offer basic customization choices, others may be more standardized in design and features.
Price:
- American-made laminate desks may be priced higher than imported counterparts due to factors such as higher labor costs, quality materials, and craftsmanship. However, they may offer better long-term value and durability.
- Imported laminate desks are often more affordable due to lower labor and production costs. While they may be budget-friendly options, the quality and longevity of imported desks can vary, potentially impacting overall value.
What desk size should I choose for my space?
We always start with the size of the space and where outlets are located. The items below are the first steps needed to help us lay out what will fit.
- Length & width of the space
- Where the door(s) and window(s) are located
- Location of the power/internet data outlets
What are the different desk layouts and when do you use them?
When picking a layout, we consider: Do you meet with people? How much storage do you need for files, binders, and drawers? How much desktop space do you need for what you are working on? The basic layouts are:
- Front & Back Desk: nothing connecting them on the side.
- U-Shape Desk: where you have front, side, and back desk space.
- L-Shape & Corner-Facing Desks: where you have front and side desk space.
What are the best storage solutions for specific items like books, files, and/or electronic gadgets?
- Bookcases: Invest in sturdy bookcases to store and display your books. Choose from assorted styles such as wall-mounted, freestanding, or modular bookcases to fit your space.
- Floating Shelves: Install floating shelves on walls to create additional storage space for books while adding a decorative touch to your room.
- File Cabinets: Use file cabinets with drawers or file boxes to organize and store documents, paperwork, and important files. Choose cabinets with locking mechanisms for added security. Use hanging file folders in file cabinets or file boxes to categorize and organize documents by topic, project, or date.
- Cable Organizers: Use cable organizers, cable clips, or cable sleeves to manage and organize cables and cords for electronic gadgets such as computers, chargers, and peripherals.
- Charging Stations: Charging stations can now be built into desks for ease and hiding cords. They also keep electronic gadgets charged and organized in one central location while reducing clutter and cable mess.
- Wall Boards: Install wall organizers such as writing boards, fabric panels, or wall-mounted organizers to store and display miscellaneous items while maximizing vertical space.
How can I personalize my desk or storage to reflect my style and personality?
The first step is to meet with one of our designers and have the space dimensions ready. From there we can talk about your vision and incorporate your style into the pieces. Color, Materials, and Accessories all can be tailored to the look and overall feel.
Are there any eco-friendly desk and storage options available?
Modular Desks: At Minnesota Office Furniture all our desks’ styles are designed with modular attributes, which means they can be easily disassembled, reconfigured, or expanded/contracted as needed. This reduces the need to purchase a complete set of new furniture when you really might only need a new component. It also promotes longevity and durability.
Pre-Owned & Refurbished: Consider purchasing pre-owned or refurbished desks and storage to minimize impact on the environment. Buying pre-owned desks extends its lifespan and reduces the demand for untapped resources. At Minnesota Office Furniture, we also refurbished a lot of the components that have a worn look on our pre-owned inventory. This means you often can keep the base and repaint it, replace the top, switch out handles, or recover a tackboard or cushion and it looks brand new! Check out our Furniture Marketplace for our current inventory.
