Seating Showdown: Eon Vs. Ambarella

Just this month Cherryman Industries has released an all new chair that we're ready to put to the test. Today on the blog we'll be taking an in-depth look at the trend setting Eon chair by comparing it to one of Cherryman's most popular seating solutions, the Ambarella. Which chair will reign supreme? Let's find out!

In terms of style, both of these popular office chairs are on trend and up to date. The Eon and Ambarella feature polished 5 star bases and natural contours that are built for both comfort and corporate appeal. As of now, the Eon is only available in a black on black color combination while the Ambarella can be customized in a variety of quick shipping seat upholsteries that make it a bit easier to personalize your interior.

If you're looking to keep things simple without being overly modern, the Eon mesh back task chair is going to be your best bet. That being said, if an all black office chair just isn't your thing, The Ambarella is certainly a better option. If you're in no hurry to select a new chair for your office, we fully expect the Eon to be available in lot's of cool color options in the future.

It's no secret that these two chairs share a lot of similarities. Both have adjustable T shaped arms that make finding the correct computing position a breeze. They also feature advanced ergonomic mechanisms with user friendly tilt controls.

Upon closer inspection however you'll notice some very distinct differences. The seat on the Eon chair for example is a bit more think and we find it's contours to be more supportive. On the 401B Ambarella chair you'll find a built in guide for personal adjusting located underneath the seat that outlines the chair's features and how to use them properly. It's a really nice attribute that we wish was available on the Eon.

The back is perhaps the most noticeable difference between the two chairs. The natural curve on the 415B Eon chair really gives it the edge in terms of lumbar support. While the Ambarella chair back is comfortable, we feel the Eon provides a more breathable and airy sitting experience that you'll enjoy more during those long task filled work days.

When comparing two awesome office chairs, there's really no substitute for a good sit test. After having our team check out both the Eon and the Ambarella, most us found the Eon to be the superior office chair for everyday use. It's generous dimensions, seat, and back work together to provide a ergonomically correct perfromance.

That being said, if you're crafting an ergonomic conference room, the Ambarella is a better option. It's a bit more sleek and will help you maximize the number of guests that can be accommodated around your table.

The price difference between these two chairs is negligible. The Eon is currently available for $245.00 while the Ambarella is $247.80. In the long run, it all comes down to your personal preferences. The Eon is certainly our preferred choice, but there's a reason the Ambarella was one of the top 10 best selling office chairs in 2016. It's incredibly well made and perfectly suited for the modern workplace. We recommend testing both out at a Cherryman showroom in your area if possible. No matter your choice, you'll be rewarded with a professional grade office chair with the modern adjustments needed to help you take posture and performance to the next level.

Improve Training Operations With SitWell Tagalong Chairs

When it comes to professional office seating, SitWell knows their stuff. This innovative manufacturer takes pride in crafting some of the most well rounded chairs on the market. Today on the OfficeFurnitureDeals.com blog we'll be taking an in-depth look at their popular Tagalong seating collection designed to promote comfort and streamline daily operations. Enjoy!

The Tagalong isn't just another training room chair. It was designed to do more. With flip up seats and mobilized bases, the Tagalong can be quickly and efficiently nested along perimeter walls when not in use. Tagalong series chairs for the training room are also very easy to reconfigure. With Tagalong, you can meet the needs of any task in a hurry without sacrificing comfort.

The days of using traditional fixed leg guest chairs for training room applications are coming to an end. Popular new options like the T-15 model from the SitWell Tagalong collection are now dominate the market. With thick padded seats and modern design characteristics, they offer the perfect combination of style and support.

If you really want to give your training room the edge, we highly recommend checking out the T-15-TABLET model from the Tagalong collection. This training room office chair with tablet arm is a cut above the rest. The addition of an extra writing surface will come in handy during group strategizing sessions. These designer chairs are also perfect for school and classroom applications.

In terms of price, the Tagalong is an absolute bargain buy. When compared to similar models on the market, Tagalong outperforms for less money. The standard T-15 Tagalong flip seat training room chair is currently available for just $225.99. The tablet arm variation is slightly more expensive at $285.99. We feel its definitely worth the extra investment.

Both of the chairs from the Tagalong collection can be stacked up to 4 high on the ground, and nested up to 10 wide. The ability to maximize space and simplify transport makes the Tagalong a supreme option for corporate training areas. You can even use these chairs to maximize the number of guests that can be accommodated around your boardroom table.

Most of today's training room chairs are a bit underperforming when it comes to comfort. Thankfully, SitWell designed these stackable office chairs with the user in mind. The Tagalong is ready to work! If you're hosting presentations, lectures, and testing sessions lasting longer than a few hours, your guests and workers will thank you for integrating these chairs into your interior.

After a thorough review and sit test, we feel more than comfortable giving the SitWell Tagalong collection a 4.5 out of 5 star rating. They're durable, easy to maneuver, and very comfortable. If you're not loving the basic quick ship black fabric seat, custom options are also available to help personalize your decor. The Tagalong is ready, willing, and able to improve training operations without breaking the bank. We fully expect the Tagalong to be one of the best selling training room chairs of 2017. When paired with modular flip top training room tables with mobilized bases, you'll have successfully crafted yourself a learning environment for your workers that's a step ahead of the competition.

Are Self Adjusting Office Chairs The Answer?

Ergonomic "smart chairs" are the latest craze. Brands like Global Total Office, RFM Preferred Seating, and Mayline have made it their mission to minimize the ergonomic learning curve and improve posture. But is a self adjusting office chair right for you? Today on the blog we'll take a look at the advantages of auto responding chairs to help you decide.

Popular self adjusting office chairs like the Arti from Global Total Office are nothing short of high tech. That being said, they're also very user friendly. The Arti features an advanced back that articulates like the human spine. This means, you can sit down and automatically receive excellent support without the need for constant adjusting. The Arti series posture improving office chair back is linked together by internal steel cables and highly graded springs that play a vital role in ensuring maximum strength and flexibility.

We credit RFM Preferred Seating with setting the smart chair revolution in motion. Their Verte chair took nearly a decade to perfect. This chair is the result of countless hours devoted to comfort by ergonomic specialists. The Verte chair back features 11 torsion springs that mimic the human vertebrae. There's no denying the comfort this chair is ready, willing, and able to provide. That being said, this office chair that self adjusts comes at a price that may not be practical for the average consumer. At $1398.99, it's one of the most expensive options on the market.

With a self adjusting office chair like the LV34GG model from Mayline, you'll be reducing the need to constantly pull levers and twist tension knobs to achieve correct operating positions. This advanced seating solution was specifically designed to mimic your movements. In an average office chair, you'd be spending a lot of time moving the back and seat to meet the needs of specific tasks. In a smart chair like the this one from Mayline, it does the work for you. With a passive seat slider that's weight activated and a flexible back, the Living chair takes the guess work out of getting comfortable.

So is a self adjusting office chair right for you? They definitely provide an abundance of distinct advantages. If you regularly adjust your office chair, an auto responder will certainly save you time throughout the work day. If you like the ability to control your sit and operate from fixed positions, a smart chair may not be your best option.

In the long run, the office chair is only as good as its operator. You have to take the time to master any chair you invest in. While smart chairs most certainly minimize the ergonomic learning curve, they don't fully eliminate it. You'll still need to focus on good sitting habits. A set it and forget it approach is never the answer.

The benefits of smart chairs should not be overlooked. If you find it hard to remember a long list of posture perfect operating tips, you may find that a smart chair is the answer. That being said, if you like the ability to personally adjust your office chair instead of relying on automatic movements, you can probably avoid the hefty price tag associated with this style of chair.

One thing is for certain, more self adjusting ergonomic task chairs are on the way. Nearly every reputable seating manufacturer on the planet is hard at work crafting next level chairs that require little on the part of the user. We feel that smart chairs are not the be-all end-all answer to comfort. However, they're certainly a step in the right direction! We'd really like to see a smart chair with a "user mode" that allows the self adjusting features to be turned off to provide the operator with more control when needed. We can dream right?

Office Furniture News: March 2017 Edition

It's been an awesome month in the office furniture world. We've seen new trends emerge, as well as hot new products from brands like Global Total Office and Modway. Today on the blog we'll take a look back at the best March had to offer. We'll also provide you with a glimpse of what to expect in the Spring season. Get ready to take your professional interiors to the next level!

Let's kick things off by talking about 2 of the coolest new trends. The first is the use of red leather conference room chairs. Man are these popular! Sure black chairs will always be in style, but they've become a bit boring. Give you space the style infusion it deserves with a swanky red leather office chair like the Joplin from Woodstock Marketing.

The next trend you'll want to keep an eye on is the use of white furniture finishes. Collections like Medina from Mayline have become the go-to option of design teams looking to promote coastal vibes. White office furniture is classy and neutral. This means you can pair it with a chair of any color to make your space pop. As you might of guessed, you can't go wrong with red.

This month we saw a lot of awesome new products hit the market. That being said, Modway made the biggest Impression. Their all ultra modern EEI-2320 model Impression desk offers no shortage of wow factor. This fiberglass executive workstation with integrated storage shelves offers a blast of mid century modern appeal that will earn your space the compliments it deserves.

Here at OfficeFurnitureDeals.com we're always on the hunt for new brands to pair up with. This March we added the full line of quick ship chairs from SitWell. This industry leader takes pride in crafting elite ergonomic seating solutions that kick appeal and comfort into overdrive. SitWell chairs like the Ovation are definitely worth a look.

The demand for attachable sit to stand desktop risers is at an all time high. The ability to quickly switch from sit-down to stand-up work positions will improve blood flow and reduce fatigue during task filled work days. You've likely heard about the sit to stand revolution taking place in 2017. If you're planning to jump on board (as you should be) we recommend checking out the 5100 model sit to stand riser from OFM. It's one of the best and most cost effective new options on the market.

Heading into April there's a lot to be excited about. We're seeing new chairs hit the market like the Novello and Luray from Global Total Office. Additionally, we'll be adding even more ergonomic executive desks with sit to stand bridges from brands like Mayline.

In terms of trend spotting, be on the look out for more ribbed back mid century modern office chairs. Their sleek European characteristics have made them a top option for professional meeting areas.

Last but certainly not least, you'll want to start planning your corporate transition from the common cubicle to an open concept benching layout. Benching systems like those from Global's Bridges II collection are rapidly becoming the industry standard. They promote collaboration and team interaction that will greatly benefit your business.

Office Design 2017: Avoid The Ordinary!

If you want to distinguish your business from the competition, it's time to start thinking outside the box with your office interiors. The workplace is always evolving, much in-part due to today's modern furniture and seating. By avoiding the ordinary and striving for extraordinary you can craft elite interiors built for streamlined productivity and collaboration. Today on the blog we'll highlight the innovative new products designed to help you do just that.

If you're tackling a work floor makeover project for your business in 2017, you can't go wrong with an open concept design built for collaboration. Ordinary cubicle systems are being tossed to curb in exchange for innovative multi user benching layouts that encourage team interaction. Collections like SideBar from Global Total Office will have your business ahead of the curve in no time. With high tech surface level power inputs and an abundance of modern appeal, you'll be miles ahead of the competition.

Are you ready to get more out of your personal office interior? Mayline has you covered with their e5 collection. This line of highly modular office furniture offers unrivaled versatility. With unique storage modules and cushion topped pedestals, you can avoid those traditional metal file cabinets that do little to promote the high end vibe you're going for. The Mayline e5 components available in 2017 can be purchased as a part of preconfigured sets, or individually to design custom work environments for single and multi user applications.

Traditional furniture finish options like cherry and maple will always have their place. That being said, they've become rather ordinary. If you're looking to spice things up with an abundance of wow factor, consider trend setting tones like gray and white. They're classy, coastal, and cool. Gray office furniture has really started to dominate the market in 2017. Brands like Global and Mayline are offering their most popular desk collections in must see finish options like Absolute Acajou, Asian Night, Textured Driftwood, and Gray Steel. These wood laminate tones are unique and fashion forward.

Sure a sofa and a couple of lounge chairs will get the job done in your waiting room. But why not improve corporate appeal and the guest experience with modular seating. Today's modular office reception seating lines like Triumph from OFM can be integrated into your welcoming area to maximize square footage and seating potential. In addition, you might consider going next level with powered modular waiting room furniture. Allowing your visitors to work while they wait with handy USB and AC inputs located within chair arms will give your reception area that extra element of versatility that's anything but ordinary.

There's nothing wrong with a classic black leather executive style office chair. They'll always be in style. Unfortunately, they're having a tough time holding their own in 2017 when compared to innovative "Smart Chairs" that minimize the ergonomic learning curve. Traditional office chairs just don't offer the features needed to work posture perfect for extended periods of time. As extended sits can be damaging to your health, making the switch to an self adjusting ergonomic office chair is just plain smart. Popular new chairs like the Arti from Global are anything but ordinary. They boast articulating backs that mimic the human spine when working. This means, you'll spend less time pulling mechanism levers and twisting tension knobs to get comfortable. If you find today's chairs to be a bit confusing, a smart chair is the way to go. That take the guess work out of getting comfortable. What could be better than a chair that remembers all those good posture tips for you?

Life In The Cube: Maximizing Space and Comfort

Life in a cubicle can be tough. It can also be quite enjoyable if you know how to maximize your space and comfort. That's where we come in! Today on the Office Furniture Deals blog we'll be highlighting the tips and products needed to do just that. From ultra cool task chairs to user friendly ergonomic accessories, we'll have you at your best in no time. Enjoy!

Office comfort starts with the chair! That being said, you don't want to select a bulky overstuffed executive style chair for everyday cubicle operating. You need a space saving task chair that doesn't lack in terms of comfort. Going with a modern ergonomic mesh chair like the Eon from iDesk is just plain smart. It offers a really cool look to compliment your workspace, along with an abundance of independently adjustable ergonomic attributes that are super easy to use. At just $245.00, the Eon is also one of the best chair buys on the market in 2017.

In addition to the Eon chair from iDesk. We also highly recommend the Novello series 6400 chair from Global Total Office. It's sleek European vibe will definitely help you maximize your cubicle operating area. This stylish new office chair designed by Alessandro Piretti features an easy to clean poly back and well padded waterfall style seat that will relieve knee pressure while improving blood flow. The Novello is durable, efficient, and down right comfortable. You simply can't go wrong with Global's newest chair!

In the cubicle, work surface space is always at a premium. That being said, your computer screen takes up a ton of it. You should highly consider making the switch to an articulating monitor mount in 2017. The factory base on your computer screen offers little in terms of adjustment capabilities. An ergonomically correct screen mount like the Allure 1 from Symmetry Office will allow you to raise your screen to eye level. This ensures healthy computing and minimizes the neck strain associated with looking down at your screens to type. With its clamp on pole mounting system, you'll free up an abundance of usable space you never knew you had.

It's no secret that sit to stand operating is the latest ergonomic craze. That being said, you probably don't have the workspace to devote to a desktop riser. Have no fear, ESI has you covered. Their all new Ergorise station is an awesome option for cubicle dwellers. With this sit to stand desktop attachment you'll be able to utilize 2 screens to save time computing. Most importantly, you'll be able to quickly switch from sitting to standing positions to reduce fatigue, pain, and strain throughout the work day.

To further increase your amount of usable desk surface area, consider making the switch to an ergonomic keyboard tray. Allowing your keyboard tray to take up approximately 30% of your usable surface space is just plain silly. Move that bad boy underneath your desk surface with a retractable mount that allows it to be slid out of the way when not in use. There's no shortage of options on the market, but we personally prefer units like the Balance 3 from Symmetry. With this keyboard tray you'll also be able to switch to stand up operating positions in a flash!

Last but certainly not least, you should also strive to maximize the space underneath your desk. Have you ever banged your knees on the CPU when sliding your office chair up to your workstation to compute? You're not alone. This office operating epidemic can be quickly solved with the integration of a retractable CPU mount from brands like ESI, Symmetry Office, and Systematix. With your CPU mounted up high on retractable glides, you'll also be able to avoid those pesky trips underneath your cubicle desk to route wires and simply power up your computer. The best part is, CPU holders only cost around a hundred bucks. You'll protecting your digital files from theft and water damage while simultaneously increasing knee space and boosting operational functionality. What a great product for the modern cubicle worker!

If you don't want to purchase new furniture for your office, consider checking out your local antique shop. You can likely find a shabby sheik desk to enhance for a coastal DIY office remodeling project.

We fully expect more office benching systems for collaboration to hit the market this spring. While traditional cubicles will always have their place for businesses looking to promote privacy, open concept benching has certainly become the preferred choice of industry specialists, design teams, and businesses looking to encourage team interaction. This season we'll no doubt see collections like TransAction from Mayline continue their market dominance.

At just $245.00, the Eon chair comes packed with user friendly ergonomic features not found on office chairs priced 3 times as much.

Last but certainly not least, we'll no doubt see an influx of height adjustable desktop add-ons hit the market this Spring. As working for extended periods of time from a seated position can be damaging to your personal health, it's important to consider the benefits of stand up operating. Right out of the gate you'll be encouraging continuous movement that improves blood flow and reduces fatigue. A popular adjustable height desktop riser like the 5100 from OFM will work with just about any work surface imaginable. At $279.99, risers like the 5100 are now priced affordably enough for the average consumer. This well made ergonomic workstation is definitely worth testing out in person if you have the opportunity. Once you've reconditioned your operating habits, you'll wonder how you ever lived without one of these handy ergo tools.

Ergonomic Tips: Posture Comes First!

You can have the most expensive, high end, fancy office chair on the planet. But if you don't learn to master it's features to operate healthy and with good posture, the odds are you won't achieve the level of comfort you desire to make it through those tough days at the office. That's where we come in! Today on the Office Furniture Deals blog we'll be highlighting the sitting tips and posture advice needed to

Is sitting with good posture REALLY that important? In a word, absolutely! Believe it or not, some find that sitting with good posture feels unnatural. This is because bad habits have been set in place for far too long. You have to recondition your office chair operating mindset from the ground up.

It all starts with proper feet placement. When seated in your swivel chair you can't rely on the chair base as a foot rest. This perching technique restricts blood flow that leads to fatigue and cramping. While it may feel comfortable and natural because you're used to it, it's hurting you. As an alternative, commit to keeping your feet placed flat on the ground and facing forward. It's ergonomically correct.

Next, you'll want to focus on the angle at which you're sitting. To make a long story short, if your back is not in contact with the chair when your working, you're missing out on the support your chair is ready, willing, and able to provide. The back of your chair needs to be as close to a 90 degree angle with the seat as possible to ensure proper spinal alignment. Too far back and you'll be over reach to type. To far forward and you'll be hunching and straining over the keyboard tray when working. As you move, make it a habit to reach for the tilt angle lever located underneath your office chair seat to adjust the chair back throughout the day.

Taking a set it and forget it approach to office posture just won't cut it. You have to be ready to adapt at a moments notice. Your chair adjusts for a reason and the adjustment features themselves are meant to be used regularly. Take your chair arms for example. They likely raise, lower, slide, and swivel. This is to help you compute healthy while tasking at your workstation.

Many of your posture problems can be solved effectively with proper chair and workstation synchronization. While it sounds complicated, it's actually quite simple. First and foremost, you need to raise your computer screens up to eye level. A stack of books, a cardboard box, or an attachable ergonomic computer screen mount will do the trick. When your screens are too low, you're looking down at them when working naturally at your desk. Over the long haul, this causes significant strain on the neck and back.

When you sit for extended periods of time, even good posture habits start to slip. That's why, taking short breaks is a must. Even a top of the line ergonomic chair with good back support should not be used for more than 1 hour at a time without standing up to stretch out those stiffening muscles. Make it a point to walk around the office to get the blood flowing. Grab a drink of water to stay hydrated, and if possible, step outside to get some fresh air. You'll return to your workstation ready to continue working ergonomically correct.

Posture tips can be tough to remember, especially during busy work days. That's why tips charts and diagrams come highly recommended from physicians and ergo enthusiasts. With a proper posture diagram posted within eye sight of your computer screen, you'll be keeping good habits fresh in your mind. Before you know it, you'll have exchanged your bad habits for good ones. Remember, even the best office chair is only as good as it's owner. You have to take the time to master it's features, strive for good posture, and take short breaks to stay refreshed.

The Oroblanco mesh back ergonomic task chair is quite affordable at $408.00. It's available in a variety of cool color combinations, but what really sets it apart is the built in guide for personal adjusting.

Needless to say, the Oroblanco is incredibly user friendly. Right out of the box this chair is ready to work and promote posture perfect operating.
