Looking for a bar height cowork tables preferrably white at a great price.
What are you doing in terms of furniture for your space? We are opening up our coworking space in the front spot of our executive office suites. It measures 81 feet long by 10 feet wide. Looking for some bar height tables - preferably in white.
What types of resources have you used for your furniture.
Thanks

We outfitted our entire space with mid-century desks off of Craigslist and from the UW Surplus store. Each desk ranged in price from $20 - $75. You can’t beat the price, but they are SUPER heavy. As for the rest of our furniture we mostly used Craigslist and Value Village/Goodwill stores. Florida probably has something similar for surplus and used furniture.
IMHO second-hand is definitely the way to go… it gives the office a bit more of an eclectic feel, especially when everything has a bit of personality.

81’x…10’? Sounds like you might run into ADA issues if you’re not careful. Will need a 5’ turning diameter unless you have two exits.
Bar height tables also don’t look ADA friendly unless you have other comparable areas for the disabled. Try mixing up the type of seating.

Chairs are tricky. They’re very personal, in terms of effectiveness, needs, and desires.
We’ve done the office liquidation route for large purchases of chairs, which have gotten us some nice rolling chairs for <$150/each.
That said, we strongly encourage our members to invest in themselves and buy a high quality chair for themselves if they’re a full time member. This lets them choose their price point and select their needs based on tolerances for comfort and ergonomics without putting the pressure on us to deliver across the spectrum. If and when they leave, of course, the chair they’ve purchased goes along with them.
We’ve considered a model where people could pay an additional fee on their membership for premium chair upgrades, but felt that it trended too far into the “services and stuff” side of coworking and in reality, the return wasn’t significant.
The downside of this, of course, is that chairs aren’t aesthetically uniform. That works for us (or has worked for us) so far since we’ve got a more organic aesthetic anyway, so that should be taken into consideration.

As far as chairs are concerned, we bought a bunch of different chairs from Craigslist and UW Surplus but we give people the option to bring in their own. This works pretty well for us as all of our desks are dedicated & permanent.

For me, I have a standard office chair but it’s not as ergonomic as the one I have at home. Thus, I prefer to work at home many times to alleviate my neck and shoulder pain. Yes, it’s cheaper to go to CostCo, Garage sales, or even go dumpster diving, but the return you and your members will get will be Nill!

Top of the Line ergonomic chairs are:

However, if you don’t have $500 or so to drop on each chair, look for the following features in any chair you buy:
Can the height be adjusted to bring various seized people up to the worksurface?
Does the chair swivel and tilt to allow for proper blood flow and movement during the day. Our bodies were not design to sit in a fixed static position all day, movement is good!
Can the arms be adjusted? Not just up and down but in and out and forward and backward. If the arms are too far forward you can’t get close to your work, you shoud be able to slide them back. They should also move in and out to land right under your elbow when seated in a neutral position. If teya re too wide or too narrow, you will strain your neck and shoulders trying to put your elbows on the arm pad.
Are the arms attached to back rest or under the seat. If when you recline the arms are pointing in the air, that’s not good. Your arms should stay level with the worksurface even when you recline.
Lastly, if you are on concrete floors, get a chair with casters that are soft, rubbery, or have a breaking mechanism. Most chairs are made for rolling on carpet. When you put them on a hard floor they are TOO mobile and thus will put strain on your core muscles.
There are lost of options on the market and the best place to get access to the hundreds out there is to go to your local contract furniture dealer (see my previous email on how to find one). They will have access to chairs priced for $50 - $1000. Just go in telling them what your budget is, and the list of features you want. They’ll do the shopping for you and provide options for you to try. Sometimes, they’ll even send one to your office to sit in for a few days before making your final decision.

If I’m going to sit for hours I prefer upholstered soft style but this can run $65.00 and up for good quality used chairs and over $100.00 new.
IKEA has inexpensive wood & plastic chairs for as little as $25.00 but I dont see the quality in them for long periods of use.

Looking for a bar height cowork tables preferrably white at a great price.
What are you doing in terms of furniture for your space? We are opening up our coworking space in the front spot of our executive office suites. It measures 81 feet long by 10 feet wide. Looking for some bar height tables - preferably in white.
What types of resources have you used for your furniture.
Thanks

IKEA makes great height adjustable legs that are very affordable… plus if the height adjustable trend changes, so can the tables.

Resurrecting an older (original post.) Long time lurker of this group - coworking has interested me for over 10 years - and now have a question prompted by this recent post…
First, though, some background: where I live, most coworking = the wework’s of the world, which, IMO, is (small) office sub-leasing. So I had the idea for “pop-up” coworking spaces in unrented/idle commercial space. I have a few nibbles from space owners/agents and now am poking around for furniture - specifically desks - that might have travel to a few spaces over time. I’ve always thought used desks would be cheap/cool/eclectic, but am personally very picky where I set up shop when in an open space.
That all said, any rec’s for countertop height community desks?
PS, if you run a great space yourself and are interested in consulting on operations, MARCOM and/or tech, please let me know.
