Q&A’s About Home Office Furniture

Here is a little rundown on commonly asked questions about home office furniture—and their corresponding accurate answers.

1. What is the difference between furniture made from hardwood and furniture made with wood veneer?

Wood is among the most expensive material for office furnitures, and saving money with wood furnitures is through the help of wood veneers. Office furnitures with wood veneers means it has thin layers of hardwood adhered to a particleboard. Sometimes, the more expensive pieces use 1-and-1/8-inch thick particleboard, while the less expensive ones employ a 3-and-1/3-inch thick of particleboard. High-end ones usually incorporate the exotic type of veneers, so you must test to see if that piece is sturdy enough, or if the drawers glide smoothly with seams fastened securely. So in short, wood furniture—expensive. Wood veneer—less expensive.

2. What does RTA stand for in RTA Furniture?

RTA simply means “ready to assemble”. This term is usually used for the least expensive category of office furnitures because it is made of inexpensive materials. However, nowadays this mentality has changed. Office furniture retailers are able to innovate and create more enhancements for the style and quality of RTA office furnitures. While RTA furniture still remains to be a notably low-priced choice, there are other RTA’s that are made with wood veneer and solid wood which can be purchased at a higher price. The bonus here is, since most RTA’s are quite difficult to assemble, the retailers will go to the place and assemble them for you.

3. Where can I avail of the best deals on home office furniture?

Actually, the best deals are really on the used office furnitures. Remember that not all second-hand furnitures are worn-out and good to go to the trash. High-quality office furniture is readily available, you just have to choose the right ones that are still in good shape and high efficiency. Have them refurbished if you must and voila! It is like having new sets of office furniture for only a fraction of the cost. Of course it is a given that office furniture retailers supply the best, if you are not up for second-hand deals. You just have to know whom to trust, and where to get them.
