Managing an office, taking in appointments, and helping any clients is a huge job for any receptionist or front office worker. However, this can be made even more difficult by having bad reception area casework. Does it actually matter that much? Absolutely. Take a look.

The Importance of Good Casework

In a nutshell, reception area casework is the seating area occupied by a receptionist that has many drawers, spaces for books, and a computer keyboard spot. This can be customized for any individual needs.

A reception desk can say a lot about an office. At first glance, people can tell whether the office is well kept and professional or just struggling to stay afloat. It’s also obvious if the owners of an office are not investing enough to even give their receptionist a good working area. All of these factors can go into whether you will accrue new clients.

Don’t overlook the importance of happy employees, too. Comfortable seating means a happy receptionist, and a good choice of casework makes for a beautiful office people want to work in day after day.

The best casework designs echo the other aesthetics in the building, making it look sleek and modern. Depending on your clientele, you may want a certain casework choice. For example, traditional wood paneling may work well in typical settings like law offices, insurance companies, and more, but something like stainless steel may help create the perfect feel in a cutting-edge industry like technology.

There are so many ways reception area casework can beautify your space, but only a professional can advise you well of all the options at your disposal as well as the best one to fit the needs and looks of your space. If you need help designing the casework that will make your reception area gorgeous, don’t hesitate to contact Carroll Seating Company, the golden standard of the seating industry!

With a name like Ace, you can be sure almost everyone knows what you’re talking about. Created in 1924, the branding strategy this company has employed has made it a household name for decades. We were nothing short of honored when Ace came to us to work on their corporate headquarters. The goal was to create a new look for their lobby, a common area, and an essential conference room. The results were pretty impressive, even to us.

Serious Design Needs, Serious Results
With a company as large as Ace, aesthetics needed to be at the forefront of everything we did, particularly given that much of our work would be on display on a daily basis to a variety of different visitors. Nothing we did within this project could be business as usual. You simply don’t get a job like the Ace Hardware headquarters without already being the best of the best.

To meet their needs, we used a mix of custom millwork applications, employing both acrylics and poly resin panels for a finished look that you just can’t get with other materials. The goal here was that high end architectural finish that really demonstrated our skills as a millwork provider, and we certainly met that goal.

Promoting the brand was also important to Ace in all of the areas where we worked, so we added new signs to help boost the company’s name. Getting that logo above any real traffic area was a must, so we used 3FORM, high design image captures with acrylic feature panels to help push the brand out into the open while still staying with the current atmosphere.

The chance to work with Ace was unique, and we’re proud to have been part of the project. Our millwork skills are second to none, and a quick visit to the Ace lobby will show you nothing less than perfection.
