Over the Christmas break the old chair I'd been using to work on my computer at home finally gave up the ghost, and I was forced to start looking to get another one from somewhere. Lately I've been doing a fair bit of shopping online and I though I'd see if Google could give me any good suggestions so I popped in a few search terms and found a few office furniture suppliers that seemed to have some really good offer on.After much deliberation the company I finally decided to use was an office furniture supplier based in Letchworth, which is just down the road from me, called Inter County office furniture. I'm the sort of guy who quite meticulous when buying something and I will check several different suppliers out before parting with my hard-earned cash, and this was no different. I did a lot of research on office chairs, checking out what the various certificates meant, and out of all the office furniture sellers I found Inter County Office Furniture seemed to have the best items for the money I was looking to spend.
So after picking out a leather office chair I went ahead and bought it. Now I've read a few horror stories on the internet about furniture suppliers in general and I was a little anxious, but I have to say this company completely allayed my fears. A guy called Simon rang me up the next day and told me my chair would be with me the next day - wow! Less than 48 hours later. True to their word, my chair arrived the next day. At first I was a little worried about how easy it would be to put together, but it actually turned out to be really easy. 10 minutes later my chair was assembled!
It's amazing how good this chair feels to sit in, the leather really does look and feel the part, luxurious. Always when you see things for sale on the internet you are a little sceptical they may look better in the photo than the actually are, but not at all in this case. The chair is absolutely superb. The leather is really quite smooth, it's not as good as the stuff you'd find on a really expensive chair, but it's still not bad. For 60 pounds I'm certainly not going to nit pick.
Have a look at this picture I took, and tell me this office chair doesn't look the business? I really can't believe how cheap this was, even with VAT it was little over 60 quid and they had some which were even less. What I'd like to do next is maybe try and get myself a desk to go with it, I've been meaning to buy one for ages but just haven't got around to it. They had some of these on offer too and I may have a look and see if I can pick up a bargain.
What I really liked about this company was not the price I paid, which was good but you get good prices at lots of different companies. What I really liked was the customer service I received, how many companies would take the time to call you and let you know the item you ordered is on the way? I'm not sure anyone who sells furniture for the home would take the time to do this! It was a breathe of fresh air and if anyone is reading this article and thinking about forking out on office furniture I would strongly recommend Inter County Office Furniture. In a day and age when it often seems like businesses don't care anymore this company was extremely refreshing. When the guy said who he was I nearly choked on the cupa-soup I'd been indulging in!
On another note I realised I've now got to find a way of disposing of the old chair I was using. It's so clapped out there's no way anyone will buy it, especially with the price you can pick up an operator chair for these days. I'm not 100% sure I'll get it in the boot of my car, if I can I'll take it down to the dump in Letchworth. If not I'll have to see if I can get a friend with a bigger boot to help me out.
This is the link to the site I found this chair on, definately worth a try if you are looking for something to sit in - office chairs.
