Blog Week Starting 13/01/2020         

Hi All, I hope we have all started to settle in after the Christmas and New Years break. All our Showrooms Australia wide have opened back up and are ready to service all your office equipment needs.

The team at Dannys has raised the bar once again and sourced some hot new arrivals. This week arriving in our Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore) showroom and our Brisbane ( Bowen Hills) showroom starting with all new chairs from their Amazing Randle Range. This hot line offers professional conference room and break out seating solutions that simply ooze style and sophistication but not at the crazy prices some of our competitors try to move similar stock at.

Another new addition this year is our Barrage high back chair, blurring the lines between executive and task seating, the Barrage has been Dannys go-to fully ergonomic office chair for a long time now but the New high back offers extra support with the addition of comfortable arms that simply presents far more sophisticated than what you expect was paid for! We are uploading this up to our website as we speak. https://dannysdesks.com.au/?s=barrage&post_type=product these are priced at $379 but please ask us for a bulk buy price.

Before I move on from the chairs I would just like to remind everyone about our Trial Chair offer, please have a look  https://dannysdesks.com.au/chair-trial/  This is available to our office furniture Brisbane , office furniture Sydney, office furniture Melbourne customers plus more locations Australia wide.

Brand new to Dannys Desks and Chairs are our Australian made reception desks. Our cabinet makers have been in the business for generations and take pride in their craftmanship.

Thanks again for listening, see you next week, Danny

Hello all and welcome back from the Christmas and the New Years break!

With the new year I would love to introduce some products that are as exciting as the year 2020! Firstly, please have a look at the new and exciting Oak range this is now on display in both our Brisbane Office Furniture Showroom and  our Sunshine Coast Office Furniture Showroom. This range will soon be available in the Melbourne Office Furniture Showroom and the Sydney Office Furniture Showroom . The Oak Range is both simple yet impressive with its clean lines and solid wood ( yes, real wood!) legs. Wood has long been used for furniture manufacturing for hundreds of years https://www.etsy.com/au/market/wood_furniture_legs while over the last few decades the materials have moved to a cheaper MDF   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-density_fibreboard . The oak range comes in standard straight desks, corner workstations, 4 pods, 6 pods, boardroom tables and kitchen or meeting tables. This system can also applied in modular for allowing custom sizes and shapes to be created.

Now we here at Dannys Desks and Chairs do sell a lot of MDF furniture as it is both strong, affordable, quickly accessible and the colour range is amazing. But, if it’s something a little special you are looking for you must simply check out our new Oak range. In our most recent fit out in a heritage listed building in Newstead, Brisbane the concrete floors were sanded then finished in an epoxy coating. The final result of the Polar white Laminex tops, the Oak legs and the contrast of the concrete floor simply looked AMAZING! Brisbane Office Furniture

With this particular fit out and common addition to a majority of our fit outs of late we used our new Zorba Screens this is the next new product I would like to tell you about. Multipurposed for both acoustic properties absorbing general workplace noise and the ability to introduce a corporate colour that helps with our clients branding. Constructed of 9mm compact fabric foam it is available in a range of colours and lengths. Modesty panels can also be introduced to help with privacy available in numerous colours.

Finally, by no means is this a new product for us at Dannys but our Dylan Mobile pedestal https://dannysdesks.com.au/product/dylan-steel-mobile-pedestal/ was used for staff storage and filing. Constructed of FULL steel and ball bearing runners featured with its 3 drawers ( 1 file and 2 “pen” drawers) this pedestal is lockable and mobile and available in black and white and even silver on request to compliment the majority of the black and white legs sold these days. This product comes with a HUGE 10 year warranty and I challenge anyone to find a better value product on the market!

These are some very basic products we have just spoken about but by no means should be taken for granted as they make up the foundation of a well flowing office fit out. Keeping the office layout stylish, spacious and free flowing helps with the positivity and productivity of your staff members plus project professionalism to your clients and visitors.

Thanks again for listening, I look forward to next week.

Hi All, this week I thought we would talk a little about our Super Office Screening, desks and workstation range.

Dannys Desks Super Screening System combines various sizes of desk tops and freestanding screens and is an industry redefining modular system used where both practicality and style is required at the same time. The layouts available are single, double, 3 person, 4 person, 6 person and even 8 person. The single sided and double sided version is perfect when there is not enough depth for a X or H pod whilst still being given the privacy of the screen PLUS you can even add end screens for added privacy if needed. The screens are stocked in both blue and grey pinable fabric that have acoustic properties whilst you can choose between warm white or a beech desk tops. When end screens are not required you can select from a range of finishes in the support leg including powder coated white, black and even a stylish chrome.  This Super Office Screen system can be made to suit any office requirement. Now available in both 1250 mm high for the open plan office or 1650 mm high to suit an office that requires greater privacy.

Here at Dannys Desks and Chairs we take pride in supplying quality Commercial Office Furniture and at always at unbeatable prices, nothing makes us happier knowing that out customers are getting exactly what they need for a healthy, happy workplace or home office environment that is value for money. To ensure this happens we have trained ergonomists in both our Sunshine Coast and Brisbane Office Furniture Showrooms whom can both assist instore and even come out to the workplace for an ergonomic and fluidity assessment and even supply loaner chairs to be tested out. For our interstate customers in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide, you don’t miss out, we can also supply loaner chairs, please read more about our policy here https://dannysdesks.com.au/chair-trial/  After some suitable chairs have been identified, allow the person who will use the chair most to try out the chair in a real work situation. It is especially useful to obtain several sample chairs for a trial comparison by those who will be using them.

There are many benefits to having a good office chair in addition to having less back strain. A good, supportive office chair prevents fatigue and discomfort that can come from siting in the same chair for hours on end. In fact, findings from a study led by the University of Sydney, that lower back pain is the most commonly recorded of workplace injuries, and on of the leading reasons for time away from work ranking higher than any other condition and one possible cause of this would be poor workstations and seating being set up.

So, what is an ergonomic chair you ask?

Finding the right “ergonomic” chair is a common problem especially for people who want to purchase new equipment to make workstations safer and healthier places. There are many “ergonomic” chairs available but it can be a mistake to purchase one simply because it is labelled “ergonomic”or purchasing where the price is assumed to be ergonomic

Ergonomic chairs are designed to suit a range of people; however, there is no guarantee that they will suit any one person in particular. For example, a chair could be too high and the arm rests too far apart for a short, slim person. In addition, chairs may not suit every task or arrangement at the workstation. A chair becomes ergonomic only when it specifically suits a worker’s size (body dimensions), his or her particular workstation, and the tasks that must be performed there. It is possible to find the right chair although it is not always easy, we do have a few go too chairs here at Dannys Desks and Chairs that will quite often tick all the boxes for a plethora of staff members.

One of these chairs that gets an honourable mention is the Barrage chair https://dannysdesks.com.au/product/barrage-chair/ Danny’s Barrage Office

Please have a look at some of the features and benefits below.

• Fully ergonomic chair that can be customised to suit your body.
• Injected moulded foam seat ensures a comfortable sitting experience
• Breathable mesh back allows optimal air-flow to your lumbar region as well as creating a surface that contours to your back
• Addition of the ratchet adjustable backrest maximises lumbar support
• Fitted out with a 4 levered mechanism that allows for the independent adjustment of seat tilt (incline), back angle (rake), back height, seat height and a seat slide for those with longer or shorter legs.
• Optional adjustable armrests can be added at an extra cost
• Look no further for the chair that ticks every box.

Thanks again for listening, we will see you next week.

I know we usually use this blog platform to talk about our previous weeks jobs, installations and new office furniture products arriving but this week we thought about discussing one of our best selling ranges, The Doss Range and talk a little about the extent of the options and how it has become a tried and true industry standard being one of our most frequent commercial office furniture ranges sold in Brisbane, Sydney, Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast.

I guess starting with its structure is one of the main reasons it has performed and makes sense to start the discussion.  Having 25mm tops and 18mm gables and modesty panels allows this to be trusted for strength where only the best office equipment is required. The whole range is also covered by a 5 year commercial warranty gives our customers the confidence that range will perform in a busy commercial environment. Also, the ability for this range to be supplied flat packed or assembled gives the opportunity for saving space for transport costs and even getting the stock into the trickiest of locations. Don’t let the fact that this range is flat packed deter you, it comes with basic instructions making assembly a breeze. If time is not on your side, we can always offer a delivery and assembly service by a professional that is very affordable and efficient.

Another feature and benefit about The DOS range is the colour range and its ability to blend with existing office furniture or be introduced as a new colour scheme. The colours available are Cherry, Beech, Maple and White ‘over’ either a White or Ironstone base or body as well as a FULL white for clients wishing to brighten up the office. This colour scheme can be used throughout the whole floor plan with every piece of furniture you can think of being available, simply have a look here to see the full range https://dannysdesks.com.au/product-category/ranges/doss/

The workstations come as small as a 1200 x 1200mm and all the way up to 2100 x 2100m in 300m increments, that’s 1500 x 1500 and 1800 x1800, you can even have one “wing” longer than the other to fit the tightest of areas. Then there is the desks, they come in the same sizes and are available in three different depths, 600m, 750mm and 900mm. The ability to add storage and filing to the desks and workstation comes in both mobile drawers and fixed drawers, various configurations in drawers are available with personal or “pen” drawers and filing drawers that have the ability to archive hanging file using foolscap suspension inserts.  If storage is required but the ability to be mobile is needed The Doss Range offers a range of pedestals with castors making rearranging and cleaning behind a breeze.

Storage doesn’t just stop at the mobiles, there are also bookcases and cupboards, tables, there is even a half / half option with doors at the bottom with open shelves at the top. Credenzas are also available, they come in 1200mm, 1500m and 1800m long and are perfect for supporting the printer and even a floral display. The credenzas feature sliding or swinging doors perfect for hiding catalogues, stationary and general office bits and pieces.  Now if additional storage is required a hutch can be added with adjustable shelves.

Hello all, this week we are going to talk a bit about Supply Nation as Dannys Desks and Chairs have proudly just been approved as an official member and supplier of Commercial Office Furniture within this fine organisation and Australia wide networking community !

Dannys Desks and Chairs have a long history of bricks and mortar sales with showrooms Australia wide as well as the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. Parallel to this retail side of the business, online sales have always been a strong contender as well as our guys in Projects quoting tenders.

Supply Nation (formerly Australian Indigenous Minority Supplier Council) is a non-profit organisation that aims to grow the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander business sector through the promotion of supplier diversity in Australia. The organisation was founded in 2009 by Michael McLeod and Dug Russel, co-founders of Message Stick Communications, with funding from the Federal Government.^[2]

Supply Nation certifies Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses as being genuinely Indigenous by establishing that they are at least 51% owned, managed, and controlled by Indigenous people. Once an Indigenous business is certified it is able to use the Supply Nation certification logo on its marketing material, access the corporate and government Member database, and get discounted rates to Supply Nation events and workshops. Supply Nation members are also issued with a certificate of authenticity proving membership. Supply Nation has certified over 450 Indigenous businesses, covering nearly every industry sector. Supply Nation is part funded by the Federal Government, but gets the remainder of its funding by charging an annual membership fee to its corporate, government, and non-profit members.

On 1 July 2015, Supply Nation launched a new publicly available directory of 50% or more Indigenous owned businesses, called Indigenous Business Direct which Dannys Desks and Chairs is also part of and so far proving positive.

As of August 2018, Supply Nation had over 1,500 Indigenous businesses registered or Certified on Indigenous Business Direct.

Supply Nation is so exciting to us here at Dannys Desks and Chairs because they work to connect over 2,100 verified Indigenous businesses on Indigenous Business Direct with more than 450 paid corporate, government and not-for-profit members in every state and territory. Supplier diversity is a growing movement in Australia as we work to create a more inclusive economy.

Some of the popular industries brought together by Supply Nation are construction, commercial furniture, food and hospitality, facilities management, consulting, educational and training and retail and domestic goods.

Just finally, after only a couple of days into our certification and with the opportunity to network with our new found friends, we have already been approached by other members whom have faith in Supply Nations approval process. This faith gives both our customers and ourselves the confidence to do business together and at the same time giving new opportunities to indigenous business.

Thanks again for reading and if you would like any more info on Supply Nation they have a very strong presence on Twitter, check them out at #supplynation #SupplyNationXmasCatalogue  #BuyIndigenous

Hello All,

We have had a HUGE run on our Delilah Range visitor chairs this week with over 180 sold in both of our Brisbane and Sunshine Coast Office Furniture stores alone. This has prompted us to talk about this range and why it has become so popular of late, we will also be discussuing a few other visitor and task chairs in our range and some that have recently landed and that we are very excited about. The Delilah has also been very popular in Office Furniture Sydney and Office Furniture Melbourne

The Delilah Visitors Chair comes in a wide selection of frame sizes, fabric colours, options for arms or no arms and even different leg finishes, yes, even REAL wood strong enough to offer a 12 month commercial warranty. While we do a standard range of colours including Ash Grey, Black Vinyl, Blue Vinyl, Bison, Blue, Charcoal, Donkey, Slate and Teal there is also the option for custom upholstery. My client recently used a combination of Warwick Galaxy Fabrics  in a private medical practice. This Fabric was chosen firstly because of the beautiful colours that were needed to tie in with the heritage building colour scheme and with the encouragement of a 72,000 cycle abrasion rate making it perfect for a commercial environment. It so just happened my colleague also sold and delivered a quantity of Delilah chairs to a Gold Coast Office Chairs based hospital, here the client had to go with a vinyl PU finish and a black steel leg forecasting a high traffic and dirty environment making them almost indestructible!

Both these clients had the budget to buy the best you can get, but not everyone has that sort of budget…. This brings me to the Drake chair, https://dannysdesks.com.au/product/drake-office-chair-with-arms/  it is one of our best selling and entry level visitors chair but in NO WAY is it lacking features. Firstly, the 10 year warranty will give you an idea of how strongly we stand by this chair, then because of its steel frame warrants its 180 Kilogram load rating leaving you resting assured it will support the largest of occupant. Other interesting features and benefits of this range is its 6 hour seat rating making suitable for not just “visitors” but also training and other static applications. Both options in upholstery and PU vinyl come with a high-density foam featuring antibacterial properties meaning accidents doesn’t mean replacing, it is also available in arm and no arm option. Height Adjustable Desks.

Finally, one last chair that has been selling well in both home office and 9-5 applications is the Luna chair https://dannysdesks.com.au/product/ranger-executive-chair/ I have been selling these chairs every second day simply because I sat in one for a month to test it out, the curvature in the moulded ply is spot on giving the lumbar the perfect support. Although not “fully ergonomic” this chair features a tilt and lock mechanism allowing you sit up straight when needed and the ability to recline like a CEO when you are on a little down time or kicking back on the phone. This chair is a GREAT buy, please drop into one of our showrooms to try out, the new high back Luna has just arrived instore!

Thanks again for listening and till next time,

Danny

It is natural to be able to move when in a working environment so let’s discuss how we can do this with some of the products in our range and how it benefits us with long term use in the workplace and even at home. Height adjustable Desk.

One set back with the majority of work stations and desks these days lie in a fact that they position us in a manner that would seem contrary to our natural instinct. Our bodies as a whole are designed to be in motion, and not to be sitting or hunched over staring at a screen for extended periods of time. The ability to move is imperative for spinal health by improving circulation and reducing muscle fatigue.  According to the most recent research people need to get out of their chairs and move at least five minutes per hour.

When you sit all day, even in a healthy posture or a fully ergonomic chair your overall health does decline. A recent landmark study focused on over 70,000 women found the risk of death from heart disease to be nearly three times higher among people who sit the most, compared to those who sit the least. This study goes hand in hand with the rise of enquiries and sales of sit and stand equipment in our office furniture Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Sydney showrooms extending throughout Australia.

Switching between sitting and standing positions is crucial for our bodies to maintain healthiness and discouraging illness. Regular movement shifts the amount of load being put on the body that increases specific body part rest intervals, Therefore the adverse effect of risk factors.

Dannys Desks and Chairs are proud to offer a large range of options in our office equipment range in our Brisbane and Sunshine Showrooms where our sales professionals can demonstrate you how these products operate, how they benefit and how they can be incorporated into your layout with minimal effort.

Starting with our desk risers at $230, these are entry level options that can be added to your existing desk platform and are available in over 10 sizes and colour, please see the full range here https://dannysdesks.com.au/product-category/accessories/accessories-sit-stand-desk/

Probably our most popular range due to its affordability for FULL desking is the Windsor Range. Sleek, stylish and uncomplicated the Windsor spans through out various colours and sizes proving itself a must have for the modern office. Please look further here at Height adjustable Desks

Dannys Desks and Chairs are very excited about the Levitate Range recently turning up on our doorstep. We would love to invite you down to one of our many showrooms in Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast for a viewing as this range needs to be seen in the flesh to be appreciated. The New Oak colour is just part of why this range is so exciting, introducing a natural wooden grain into the office keeping up with the latest trends of natural colours and textures.

Thanks for reading and can’t wait to talk soon about height adjustable desk
