If you haven’t already noticed, we like office furniture here at Top office, we think its pretty ‘cool’ and has a lot of great benefits.

It can boost morale, reduce stress, and help you to avoid bad posture, and in the long term, serious health effects – so with this fantastic repertoire of benefits and brilliance, surely it couldn’t go any further? Well it has!

Across that rather large pond we call the Atlantic Ocean, in the USA, a group of people have been busy developing a rather amazing piece of office furniture equipment which could actually save your life!

The piece in question is an office desk, built to keep you safe in the event of an earthquake – that’s right, the old duck and cover method could actually come good! Built from reinforced steel, the desk is fitted with a safety department which you can climb in to in the event of an earthquake to avoid being hit by any falling debris!

Complete with interior padding, food stores and a gas mask, the desk is designed to keep you safe from extremely heavy falling debris, asphyxiation from dust, and even keep you alive whilst the rescue teams search for you!

Sound like a load of rubbish? Wondering how an office desk could protect you in an earthquake? Well if the reports at to be believed, this office desk has lived up to some pretty rigorous testing, which includes surviving being on the 6th floor of a building during demolition, and also having a Chevrolet Suburban SUV dropped on it from a height – pretty impressive!

This office desk isn’t available for sale yet, will probably cost a lot of money to buy, and isn’t really necessary in Britain, thankfully due to our relative lack of seismic activity, however, in places such as Japan, USA, and others around the world, office desks really could be saving the world!

If you’re looking for an office desk for a more conventional reason however (like the one in the above picture), that may not save the world, but will provide you with a stylish, sensible, practical place to work, then be sure to check out our range of office furniture, where there’s plenty to choose from!.

A major mistake that many home workers make at first, is not designating a specified work area, which can be crushing on productivity levels and greatly increase stress – imagine having to move from the dining table, to the coffee table, to leaning on the kitchen worktop because the dog won’t leave you alone, and you’ve already lost 4 pieces of paperwork – stressful!

If you’re thinking about, or have the opportunity to work from home, always consider this, and before you do start work, ensure that you have a sufficient home office space which you can close yourself away in and actually work in an organised manner, otherwise you’ll probably end up missing the 9 to 5 office life!

So, if you’re looking to make the move to working from home, or simply want a place you can surf the web in peace, then be sure to check out our great home office furniture range and get yourself a workspace paradise.

A wide choice of the more popular office desk sizes are available along with a selection of superb office storage units including bookcases,cupboards, pedestals and filing solutions.

Well, having visited the Rohr Bush furniture factory in Germany earlier this year, we have been nothing short of impressed from both their leading edge designs and quality in manufacturing standards.

As leaders in this market sector, Rohr Bush have over 50 years experience to back up their products and, from over 25 suppliers
that we currently use, along with the hundreds that we choose not to, we don’t think that they are bettered anywhere.

news overall. Based on the same period for last year, there was an increase of 31%, following impressive e-commerce sales for December due in part to the bad weather.

There was even more good news for us however, as the furniture, home, and garden sectors enjoyed the best amount growth, up a massive 51% on last year, taking the average spend to £120 per person.

We all know how it feels to get home and simply want to flop into the most comfortable chair in the house, so having to come home and sit on a creaky old chair to the dining table is not the best way to motivate you to want to work either.

Make sure, if working from home is something you have to do, that you have a calm space in which you can sit alone and work as efficiently as possible with no interruptions. Fill your office with some quality office furniture – a comfortable home office chair, a practical home office desk with sensible amounts of storage, and a nice décor, and working from home will instantly become a lot more enjoyable and simple.

Here are a few Top Office top tips on keeping your office well organised so that you can work in a nice, organised place, in a good mood:

1. Keep desk clutter to a minimum, keep only what you immediately need with you and store the rest away sensibly – Its always nicer when you know where everything is.
2. Ensure you have a comfortable office chair and have a clear path around it so that you can freely move around the office – Its awfully frustrating tripping over things when walking to the printer.
3. Get a spacious, practical office desk, preferably with drawers so that you can store things close to you rather than having to search through 3 filing cabinets.

These are just a few ways in which you can use your office surroundings to increase efficiency and reduce stress. If any of these ideas sound like they could work for you then please check out our fantastic, vast range of office furniture.

Are one of those people that works in the kitchen whilst the kids are having their breakfast, constantly telling them to be quiet whilst on the mobile phone at the same time? If that’s you then you probably fall under the “work from home” category.  Working from home does have its advantages, theirs the comfort of being able to stay in your Pyjamas, avoid that annoying sales person who calls you every Monday afternoon or simply just feel more relaxed in your own environment.

For those who love nothing more than working from home we would strongly advise separating your office from your home and invest in some home office furniture items such as computer hideaways which can be hidden away in the corner of your home office until you need access to the PC.  Regardless of how big your office space at home is, with a bit of clever planning you could create a very efficient working space that doesn’t upset the rest of the household.

When creating your home office working space think about what YOU want and forget all about the standard office look, the cheap desks and uniform pencil pots, be different, its YOUR home office space no one else’s. The more comfortable you are in your space the harder you can focus on your work, its a proven fact.

A well thought out home office plan can give a fantastic first impression to those visiting you at home not to mention gives you more of a professional edge for when you need to impress your clients. A mistake that many people make is trying to squeeze too much into a small space thus creating a crowded and messy office, it is recommended by architects that you should free up at least a 10ft x 10ft area for your home office. If you are not able to commit that kind of space then do ensure that you have sufficient room for all of your equipment.

Most importantly before you go out and actually buy anything, measure your walls and double check with the office furniture supplier that the sizes on the website or printed on the spec sheet in the store are 100% correct, there is nothing worse than buying all your home office furniture to find that you took a wrong measurement and have to send the whole lot back!
