While buying furniture for your office, you might have noticed that tables come in three different height settings – Standard, Counter and Bar.

A bar height table, as the name suggests, is mostly used in bars and restaurants. Counter height is the height of the kitchen counter, while the standard height table is the shortest of the three.

Here’s Nicole Groshek from National Business Furniture with a complete description.

What is the Difference Between Standard Table Height, Counter Height and Bar Height?

Standard table height is the shortest of the three followed by counter height and then bar height. There are a number of pros and cons to all three table sizes, and we know how tough it can be when trying to decide! Here’s a quick snapshot of the differences to help you make the right choice before outfitting your business’s café or break room.

Standard Table Height is 28” – 30”H. The biggest benefit to standard size tables is that they are the most common, meaning you’ll be able to find them in a much broader range of styles, sizes and price points. These tables accommodate standard size tables, which are also available in a much wider range of styles for the same reason. Even if your break room isn’t entirely outfitted in standard height tables, there should be at least a couple of these options available for disabled employees to use.

Counter Height is 34” – 36”H. These taller options must be used with stools that have a seat height of 24” – 27” tall. Benefits of counter height tables and stools are that they can give a space the illusion of being less crowded. In addition, these types of tables are much easier for employees to stand at for a more casual dining experience. See full post

Etiquette and necessity cross paths when you go out to buy furniture for a behavioral health facility. Behavioral disorders could mean that the patients in your facility may all have completely different personalities and concurrent needs. To satisfy the needs of different patients, there are certain things you need to consider.

The most important among them are ensuring safety, promoting healing, and providing personal space.

Nicole Groshek from National Business Furniture writes about these things and more to help you choose the right furniture for your healthcare facility.

Choosing the Right Behavioral Health Furniture

If you’re outfitting a behavioral health facility with new furniture, you’ve got a lot of factors to take into consideration, and they’re all important. The challenge of furnishing this type of healthcare facility is that you’ll need to somehow accommodate individuals with vastly different needs from one another due to the great range in mental illnesses that behavioral health facilities treat. Here’s what you absolutely must consider before selecting your new furniture.

Ensure Safety. The number one most important consideration when it comes to selecting behavioral health furniture is patient and caregiver safety. Avoid providing any opportunity for patients to harm caregivers, other patients or themselves. This applies to every facet of your facility. For example, fasteners should be tamper-resistant, and there should be no exposed staples or other catch points on any furniture items. Eliminate the possibility for stashed contraband by providing no concealment points in chairs or other furniture. There should also be no ligature points made available to any patient, which means that chairs should be armless or have closed arm panels, and cabinets and doors should be fitted with breakaway hooks and hinges. When it comes to freestanding chairs, sled base models are often preferred as they are harder to weaponize. Ensure that you equip your facility with absolutely no furniture that has removable parts, and outfit patient rooms with open shelving rather than cabinets with drawers and doors. Windows should be outfitted with unbreakable glass. See full post

The key to effective organization in a brick-and- mortar office is maintaining databases both digital and physical. While it’s easy to share and shift files around on the digital platform, it might become a hurdle when dealing with physical copies.

Physical copies are a necessity in many offices, especially in the medical sector. An essential item of furniture in such offices is the filing cabinet. There are different types of filing cabinets and depending on your requirements, you may need some or all of them in your office.

A Guide to Filing Cabinets

Spring is generally the season that everyone associates with cleaning and organization, but the right furniture can help you stay organized all year round. Use our guide to filing cabinets before you decide what to buy to ensure that you get the best possible solution for your space.

Vertical File Series Filing Cabinet

Type

Lateral files feature wide but shallow drawers that are ideal for high capacity filing. Due to their shallow drawer extension, lateral files are great for walkways and areas that require a lot of filing in a tight space. Most Lateral files are 32″-36″ wide, making them wide enough to hold both legal- and letter-size documents, which can be arranged in either a side-by-side or front-to-back configuration. Lateral files can have as few as two and as many as seven drawers, with most two drawer units being low profile enough to fit underneath a work surface. See full post
