Surprising Addictions
Did you know there is a whole online community devoted to writing implements? There are literally dozens of blogs covering everything from modern fountain pens to the latest release from Sharpie. A $2 Bic ballpoint is not an acceptable option for these hard core pen lovers. They need a comfortable barrel grip, smooth flow of ink with no smearing, and a gorgeous aesthetic. You can get the scoop on real life product testing on just about any pen, pencil, marker, highlighter, or eraser at sites like Office Supply Geek and The Pen Addict.
The pen aficionados don’t have the market cornered when it comes to insisting on quality. There is a whole other subculture that focuses on notebooks. It’s all about the paper with these people. The weight, texture, binding, ruling, these little things can make or break a notebook. Once you get used to having luxury pens and paper at your desk, you’ll never go back to cheap cubicle supplies.
Did you know there is a “Craig’s List” of sorts for buying and selling cubicle systems? San Diego, Dallas, St. Louis, Clearwater - plenty of big cities are featured on the Systemsnews.com website. This information clearinghouse lets office furniture companies advertise their wares and liquidation services. They also provide space for people to request leads on items they need. This might be entire 
In unusual cubicle news, this year is the 60th anniversary of the 
This task light is called the Leaf, but it looks more like the articulated front leg of a praying mantis. The cherry red color belies the cool surface of this lamp. Unlike traditional LEDs, this one is fully touchable - so you can adjust the angle and position without turning it off and waiting for it to cool. The intensity of the light can be adjusted with the touch of a finger at the lamp base. Besides the brightness, the tone of the illumination can be changed from warm to cool. This makes it the perfect lighting tool to match or alter your mood at work.
Not everyone can have a luxurious, wood paneled executive office. But, your average employee can enjoy the privacy and beauty of an expandable 
In warm weather, a desk fan is one of the most well loved cubicle accessories. San Diego employees can access cooler air that is also cleaner with Herman Miller’s C2 climate control device. This personal air filter and fan plugs into a wall outlet. It has an auto turn off function, so you don’t have to worry about workers wasting power by accidentally leaving their fan on after hours.
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to get a job as a cubicle installer, here’s your chance to find out. A Northern California company is hiring for this position. Their

Moving to a new office space is a complicated and frustrating process for business owners. There are so many different tasks to be scheduled and supervised; it is easy to make a decision that seems like a timesaver but actually makes things tougher down the road. For example, having workstations broken down and packed by inexperienced movers is a big mistake. Just as the original office 
This is a question many business owners ask when they start shopping around for office furniture. In some cases, the answer is “Yes”. Many manufacturers make it simple for customers to install cubicles without assistance from trained technicians. This applies to straightforward panel systems that interlock with a simple connector or hinge. Such cubes may be attached with brackets to a workstation or remain freestanding depending on the brand and style.
First, they should arrive at your office site at the scheduled time. A delayed installation can cause disruption for your workforce - especially if employees have been moved to temporary workstations in preparation for the setup of the new cubicles. A professional install team knows this and respects your time.
Second, the way the members of the install team dress should let you know who they are. A shirt bearing the vendor’s logo or a clearly displayed ID badge shows you that the dealer is proud to have these employees represent their company. They won’t be wearing suits and ties since this is physical work, but clean blue jeans and a polo shirt are a fairly standard “uniform” that indicate the cubicle installers take their job seriously.

While human cloning is still the stuff of science fiction, office furniture cloning has been taking place for quite some time. Cloning companies mimic an OEM office cubicle’s design to create knock-offs of the original product for business owners who want to save some cash. It’s kind of like buying a faux Coach bag - only with cubicles.
