Get to Know DR: Office Furniture

What has four legs, a back, sometimes has arms but no hands, and can be sat on but has no pulse?  It can also be versatile, flexible, and inspire creativity and productivity.  Give up?  An office chair!  If new clients seem underwhelmed with the atmosphere of your business or your employees seem unproductive or listless, then maybe it’s time to upgrade your office furniture!  

Office aesthetics play an important part in your employees’ productivity. It’s just a part of human nature – our mood is influenced by our surroundings. Drab, boring furniture can lead to lower productivity and creativity, whereas vibrant and cool colors assist in lifting a person’s mood. Furniture and office accessories that let your employees stay organized and keep needed supplies handy make it easier for them to get work done. Being comfortable, clutter-free, and with minimal distractions allows employees to remain mentally engaged and work productively. 

The right furniture also improves the well-being of your employees. Standing desks allow them to be more active at work and help them lead a healthier lifestyle. Comfortable ergonomic seating lets your employees stay flexible with their movements and encourages good posture. 

Having the right furniture isn’t just for your employees. It’s for everyone that enters your business. The right furniture in your office space presents a clean, welcoming space for both clients and employees. Your furniture can also be used to send visual cues about your brand. Take it one step further and brand your furniture through custom panels and accessories. 

Choosing the right mix of office furniture can be difficult.  The workspace should work for you, giving you the tools and innovative features you need to perform your best.  Creating that productive and comfortable workspace requires some extra forethought, effort, and attention to detail.  That’s where Direct Results’ resident office furniture expert, Dave Stoneking, comes in.  With more than twenty five years of experience, Dave can help you choose the right furniture that meets your employees’ needs and makes the most of your space. 

Dave meets with each client individually to find out their furniture needs. He measures the space, discusses the setup that they are looking for, and then begins the search for their perfect furniture. “Meeting with the clients in person at the location helps me find the furniture that will be the best fit for them,” Dave says. “Whether it is a new construction or you need to match existing furniture, I am here to help.”

During this stage, Dave will often create a visual planner drawing that details the layout of the new furniture. After the client approves the furniture and it is ordered, Dave works closely with our expert team to ensure quick delivery and installation. “I enjoy the entire furniture project process from start to completion.”  

Dave is a Waynesburg native, graduating from Waynesburg Central and then Waynesburg University. He enjoys coaching youth sports, exercising, and golfing in his free time. Dave is married with two children and two dogs. 

Every piece of furniture in the workplace plays a part in the way clients view your business, as well as your team’s productivity. Whether you need to freshen up a dated workspace or furnish a new area, investing in new office furniture shows your clients that you have confidence in your business and appreciation for your team.
