Introduction
With so many choices and decisions to make, selecting office
furniture can be a challenge, but don't be daunted,
because MAXON makes it easy. In fact, we've simplified
the selection process for you. Below we've compiled a few of
the most efficient, functional and attractive Typical Office
Setups that will get you up and working fast in no time at all.
Use them as they are or as a starting point and let us customize
them just for you and your specific needs. Our expansive product
offering will fit every space and budget, so don't hold back!
First Thing's First
The most critical factor in determining what furniture will
work best for your office is first defining who will use it.
What kind of work does your staff do?
Most likely, your staff can be broken down into 4 categories.
Click on the one that best suits your needs:
 Reception
 General
Staff Managerial
 Customer
Service/Call Center |
Reception
First impressions are important to your business and there's
no better place to make a good first impression than at your
Reception Station. The basic and functional
L-Reception Station works well in any setting. Take your
Reception Station one step further with a
U-Reception Station that gives your receptionist extra desk
& counter space and more centrally locates your guests'
welcome area. When you are looking to make the best impression
that reflects a higher level of style and panache, your perfect
choice will be our
Select Reception option.

General Staff
Each of your staff members has different needs and MAXON has
the perfect workstation to accommodate everyone on your team.
Our
Staff L-Station option gives your staff enough space to
handle to their job responsibilities in a space-saving design.
If you have staff that requires more workspace, such as technical
personnel that use multiple computer monitors, the
Staff
U-Station option may the right choice for you. Additionally,
our workstations utilize MAXON Worksurfaces with built-in Zones Technologyª, a system that maximizes your workspace
by defining worksurface shapes by the type of work required,
giving your people everything they need and nothing they don't.

Meetings with staff is a critical function for managers and

Customer Service/Call Center
Whether you staff for Customer Service or Call Center operations,
MAXON has the workstations to fit your business. When space-efficiency
is critical, we recommend our
Side-by-Side Stations, which can utilize either flat-panel
displays or maximize your space with our patented
Data Center Tile. This remarkable advance in office systems
enables you to clear your worksurface and mount your flat-panel
display directly into the panel! If your people require more
space, they'll work comfortably in our
Diagonal Stations with dynamic worksurface shapes that intuitively
accommodate the types of work your Customer Service/Call Center
professionals do.
