Executive office furniture generally falls into two main categories, contemporary and classic. The materials used in the construction of executive business  furniture range from standard melamine-faced board, through glass, steel and aluminium to real wood veneers.

Modern melamine finishes are very hard wearing and are difficult to tell apart from real wood, so you might want to consider this as a low cost alternative to a veneer finish. Continue reading »



Traditionally styled executive office furniture is still very popular here in the UK, especially in wood finishes such as cherry or mahogany.  The main problem most buyers find is that quality veneer furniture is very expensive and it usually takes 6 to 8 weeks before it can be delivered to you. There are also not many places where you can go to actually see the range before making your decision.

But our Cambridge range has none of these disadvantages. Modern manufacturing methods have enabled us to produce this traditionally styled range at very old fashioned prices, plus the whole range is available from stock in both finishes.

Another exciting range of executive desks at remarkably low prices is the K West office furniture range from GDB International

Available in a white or brown oak finish, which looks like real wood, this range has to be one of the most well priced executive ranges in the market. The only problem is whether your office is big enough to take this furniture.

Big, solid slab end panels and 38mm thick tops give the impression of a traditional solid wood desk, and the giant pedestals do nothing to belie this image

Imitation wood desks have become so realistic that now it is possible to consider them for your executive offices. They are much cheaper than wood veneer and much more hard wearing.
Another advantage is that they are usually available from stock, as opposed to made to order, which is the norm with veneer office furniture, and this usually means a lead time of up to six weeks.

KYOS is a very affordable range, available from stock in a white or brown oak melamine finish with an aluminium finish steel leg frame. The worktops are 38mm thick with 2mm soft ABS protective edging, which gives this range a very substantial and solid look and feel.

Traditional wood veneer office furniture has always been at the top end of the price scale, mainly due to the fact that wood veneer is an expensive product to make and use.

But modern man made finishes are so realistic nowadays that they are the sensible choice for budget conscious buyers. It is a well know fact that they are more durable, won’t fade in direct sunlight, are virtually stain proof and heat proof. They are also easier to clean and to look after, and incredibly resistant to scratching.

But the best bit is that they are considerable cheaper than wood veneer executive furniture. This, together with the fact that they are usually available from stock, whereas the veneer option is usually made to order with a lead time of 6 to 8 weeks, makes the decision even easier.

Executive desks don’t always have to be sombre and heavy, as this exciting new range proves.
Large desk tops, available in a choice of light or dark oak veneer, or stylish frosted glass, combined with a simple but elegant square support leg, will enliven any office.

Combine this with a comprehensive range of complementary storage units, meeting tables, shelving and credenza, and you will have all the options that any modern executive could need.

Contrary to popular belief, quality desks and tables were never actually made from solid wood, even back in the early 1900’s. Most cabinet makers preferred option would have been to use thin slices of wood, which was then applied to a stable substrate, usually ply or laminated  wood

The main reasons for this is that solid wood is not a reliable material to work with. Its moisture levels change with the seasons and environment, which results in the wood warping or splitting.
