Choosing the right conference table connectivity box doesn’t have to be hard. If you know all of your requirements such as design, size and type of connections you can quickly narrow it down by comparing the different connectivity boxes that are available on the market.
The power modules are usually available in black or silver and can include pop-up, flip, enclosed or exposed plugs and data ports. You want a power center that will look good on your table so selecting the type that will look based on the amount of time you think you will be using the power module is something to consider.

Conference rooms are important, in fact in a lot of offices they are the heart of the entire operation. It’s where daily staff meetings take place, or the all-important big meetings with clients, or safety meetings. They are even where close offices have employee birthday parties and so much more. It’s hard to put a value that a conference room has on a business. Whether big or small, the conference room has extreme value to each office. While a large office has the freedom to select almost any conference table on the market and it will fit. A small office must be more strategic.

I’d like to continue our look into white office furniture. Our previous look was at white reception desk ideas which affects the front office the most. This time I want to look at white conference tables. From the front office to the inner circle of most office settings.
According to Office.Furniture white is “a symbol of innocence, wholesomeness, and completion” and “conveys a lot of ideals about trustworthiness, honesty, and home.” In effect white is a go to color for an office that wants to project cleanliness, style, and substance. With this in mind, we will be looking at four white conference table ideas. But one does not simply selec (Read More)

A small conference table for an executive office can be a valuable asset to have in place. They provide a small meeting area outside of the normal confines of the conference or board room. Usually, a small round or square conference table can be placed within the executive office without taking up too much space and ruining the design of the office space. They provide the executive with a small informal meeting area within their own office to greet guests, often those VIPs that really help make the business such a success. Since small square or round conference tables are becoming so popular for the executive office, I thought I would highlight a few from the Madison Liqu (Read More)

A small conference table can be an intimate meeting space. For some startups they can be the primary conference meeting space. For more established or larger offices, they can be a great addition to an executive office. When I think small conference table, I think of an office furniture piece that seats four people comfortably and not take up much office square footage. For me, that’s a round conference table.

A round conference table is perfect for any office that needs a meeting area in a confined space. For that startup I spoke of earlier, it could be the central hub of the entire office. Everything from staff meetings, to client meetings, lunc (Read More)

Let’s begin with a quote “All great changes in America begins at the dinner table.” Anyone know who said that? Former President and founder of Reaganomics, Ronald Reagan. Before we get into a full blown discussion about the economy and trickling down, let’s apply that to business.
“All great changes in business begins at the office conference table.”
Reagan was right about needing a place to communicate clearly. His thoughts are from parent to child, we have flipped it from management to worker. This is absolutely true for this one simple fact; email effectiveness has its limits. A face to face meeting can be far more impactful than a series of emails. Somet (Read More)

It's probably not every day you shop for a new conference table, and there are a lot of choices, so we are here to help! Let's get down to the brass tax of selecting the perfect conference table for your meeting space.
#1 Table Size
This is the most important to get right! You want a table that will fit in your boardroom, not so large that it over-powers and not too small that the space is underwhelming. Our minimum recommendation is 42 inches from the wall to the end of the table, for larger rooms that will accommodate 12FT+ conference tables, you may wish to have a 48-inch (or larger) gap between the end of your table and the wall.
#2 Number of Chairs
This can be a (Read More)

The conference room needs to be not only stylish and inviting but also efficient. There is a balance that needs to take place when searching for a new conference table. Efficiency and style. A stylish table that doesn’t fit the needs of the office is not a good match.

Most boardrooms require a large conference table that provides plenty of room for executives and guests alike. The conference table shouldn’t be just big but exceptionally stylish as well.

It’s where meetings with VIP’s and business partners that help grow the brand come together to further the success of the company. Therefore, only the best office furniture should be placed within for the appearance of a business.

These tables strike a balance between space efficiency and accommodating a moderate number (Read More)

I’ve said it often when talking about conference room office furniture- the conference room is grand central station of the office, it’s where everything gets done, and the conference room is the lifeblood of the office.
Offices from businesses to construction all meet within the conference room for everything from the staff meetings, to client meetings, to birthday celebrations. When something important needs to be relayed to the entire staff, you can bet it’s done around the conference table… or in a copy all email that is always fun to read…

The Importance of Office End Tables
Imagine that you just started your business. You're growing, expanding, and ready to open a dedicated space, but you need the right furniture. Desks, office chairs, storage hutches, or file cabinets, are all a given.
If you have a waiting room area, an office couch and guest chairs are also must-haves. But an often time overlooked piece of essential furniture is office side tables. Why are they overlooked? It may have something to do with not being seen as necessary or essential.
In your office, you need to get work done and somewhere to sit. So a desk and chair is a no-brainer. But when furnishing the reception area or office lo (Read More)

A larger office typically has a reception area to match. It just makes sense; a larger office has a higher potential for guests being in the office. A busy office will need ample reception space to maintain the flow of traffic into the office. To accomplish this, a reception area needs a reception desk to handle this traffic. With a larger space an opportunity presents itself. A large reception desk! The potential can be huge. This could be a large two-person receptionist desk or a single seat piece of office furniture.
There are near endless possibilities. With that in mind, I have compiled a selection of unique office furniture options to fit in a large reception are (Read More)

We all have that little corner or empty space in our office that could use a little something. Sure, we have the prerequisite sofa and coffee table, but adding something with a little color, texture, or pop of pattern could add some visual contrast and help bring your whole office style together. You need accent furniture.

Office collaboration is important. Increasingly offices are moving to a more open and inclusive office layout. Traditional cubicle layouts are being phased out in favor of opening up the workspace in favor of open spaces that feature increased natural lighting brought on by the elimination of huge light blocking partitioned walls. In place of cubicles, a wide variety of collaborative workstations have come to market to lead the way in this new and exciting office layout.
With so many options out there, we are providing a sample of some of the top collaborative workstations available today. This list is a great place to begin a search for this type of office furniture. (Read More)

Modern offices are moving away from traditional cubicles more and more each year. The meteoric rise of open office workstations in the last decade has made manufacturers focus on desk pods. Over the last few years, they have brought fresh, and trendy designs to the market for their customers. These designs are extremely popular at Madison Liquidators. Today, I thought I would show several examples of four person workstations that are excellent alternatives to cubicle systems.
The primary question is how do they differ from cubicles? Mainly, cubicles partition co-workers off from one another, while open office workstations place co-workers together in joined office furn (Read More)

A charging station, or office charging station, is a device or system designed to recharge electronic devices in a workplace setting.

Versatility with the office furniture can be a bonus for a growing office. Take the L shaped desk for example. If we purchase one for the space we are in now, wouldn’t it be great if it fit the next office space we put it in even if the configuration of the desk is required to be different? I know it’s a luxury to be able to think that far ahead but with most L shaped desks, you don’t have to worry they are naturally reversible.
While some L shaped desks are designed for a very specific layout, most are designed to be reversible to fit any office space. Today, I want to draw your attention to the benefit of purchasing a reversible L shaped desk so tha (Read More)

A small office can be challenging to furnish. Multiple issues arise when you begin the process of doing so. The most obvious is limited space with the conventional wisdom calling for small office furniture. However, this is often flawed due to the type of work that we do in our offices. Small desks just don’t allow us to perform the work that we are required to do daily. So, what do we do?
From my own personal experience in a small office in my home, I was able to find a fantastic desk that fit the requirements of my daily duties exceptionally well. How did I do this? When I arrived in Madison for my initial training, I sat down with the skilled co-workers who are (Read More)

I always get a lot of comments and questions about the price of our commercial office furniture.

As I was researching my last blog, “A Guide to Finding the Right L-Shaped Desk for a Small Office” I kept coming back to the idea of my own L shaped desk in my home office. The more I studied and compiled data for the other blog, I also found myself setting aside inventory for ideas for corner desks and L shaped desks for a home office. It got to the point to where I had to decide to create a completely separate blog to highlight the idea of these pieces of office furniture for a home office. So, with that in mind we will look at Corner desks and L shaped desks for the home office.

In meetings with specialists at Madison Liquidators, I had time to compare notes on office cabinets.

So with this writing, we are going to highlight different kinds of storage cabinets that are found on the Madison Liquidators online marketplace.

I recently took a look at Fresh Reception Desk Ideas for 2023 as an overall look at revitalizing your office space in the new year. While a reception desk is the centerpiece of a waiting room, it is not all the furniture that makes up the space. Another key office furniture need is waiting room seating. Since the waiting room is the first place that guests will see when entering your business, it is important to have attractive, comfortable, and durable office furniture seating for them when they visit. This first impression will go a long way in setting the tone for your office with guests.
With all of this in mind, I am going to provide you with several pieces of waiti (Read More)

Office furniture accessories are often overlooked when we first furnish an office. I get it, our attention is elsewhere like finding the perfect desk for each office or ensuring that all the desks from the receptionist to the executive hold a singular cohesive style throughout the office. Which are important tasks in their own right. However, a stylish office isn’t the only aspect of an office that needs to be addressed up front.
The other side of that coin is functionality. An office that looks stylish but is disorganized is not a healthy work environment at all. Instead, a little time should be given to ensure that the office functions as well as it looks. A fu (Read More)

A growing office needs to have versatility. They need the ability to transition from one phase to the next swiftly. While there are a lot of variables that go into a transition such as this, one of the best ways to make it easier is to have office furniture that can change with each move. For larger desks such as the U shaped desks versatility means being reversible. For a U shaped desk, being reversible means that the bridge, which is the centerpiece connecting the front and back of the desk can be placed on either side as needed.
A reversible U shaped desk will ensure that with each move, the office furniture will be able to fit within any office setting. Not only th (Read More)

Madison Liquidators has grown a lot since I first started back in January of 2021. To me, it’s a little wild how far we have come since then. Before I get into anything, I don’t want you to think this is going to be some braggadocious article that I threw together.

Another note is that the hutch needs to be set against an office wall for stability so placement in the office will need attention prior to purchase (Read More)

Over 66% of households own a pet according to the American Pet Products Association, with Millennials taking the largest share of pet ownership at 33%.
