Commercial Furniture Installation Floor by Floor

Published by: Northland - February 24, 2016

Replacing all of the furniture in a hotel, senior living community or dormitory can be a huge undertaking. With most commercial furniture companies, when you place a large order for a building with multiple floors all of the furniture arrives at once, which can be inconvenient if you aren’t ready. Commercial furniture installation most frequently needs to occur on a floor by floor basis.

Ordering commercial furniture from Northland Furniture Company allows for the replacement process to happen floor by floor, rather than all at once. If, of course, you do want to do a commercial furniture installation all at once, Northland is able to help you by completing the order as usual.

What usually happens when ordering new commercial furniture is that orders are made for the entire building. Companies may or may not be ready for this large of an order and the time it takes to replace all of the furniture in a building, but there are solutions. One option would be to order only the furniture you need most immediately and then repeat your order later on when the other floors need to be replace.

Floor by Floor Commercial Furniture Installation

Northland has a better solution. When you place your order with Northland, we can build all of your furniture at the time of your order and then store the pieces you aren’t ready to install until the time comes to replace the furniture on that floor. By allowing Northland to build and store your order it makes commercial furniture installation that much easier.

Placing multiple orders means the furniture will be built at the time of the order. If you get in behind a large order it could delay your timelines. By installing floor by floor and letting Northland store your pre-built furniture you cut out the build time for the next floors. We’ll store your commercial furniture for as long as you need and then ship it as soon as you’re ready for it.

Quick build times and storage options are a few of the advantages of commercial furniture installation floor by floor. Contact Northland Furniture Company for more information on our build and store commercial furniture options.

Creating a Comfortable Space with Senior Living Furniture

Published by: Northland - February 10, 2016

The transition to a senior living community can be difficult for many seniors. Leaving the comforts of a home they have lived in for a substantial length of time would be an adjustment for anyone. Moving to a senior living community requires physical and emotional adjustments. That’s why it’s important to choose senior living furniture that makes residents feel comfortable. Creating a comfortable atmosphere for seniors in their new home is essential to the transition process.

In moving a parent or loved one to a senior living community, one of the key factors they must understand is that the change can result in an overall better quality of life. Seniors won’t have to worry about the struggles of daily life, cooking, cleaning and yard maintenance. While to their adult children, this transition seems like a great improvement, seniors have a hard time resigning to the fact that they can’t take care of themselves and their homes the way they used to.

Help new residents and their families adjust to new environments without creating additional stressors. Choosing senior living furniture that works to create a comfortable and homelike environment helps in this fragile time of adjustment. Once residents settle in, they’ll appreciate the time you took to make their new home as cozy as their own.

Comfortable Senior Living Furniture

  • While creating comfortable common areas is essential, allow residents to bring some furniture from their own homes for their personal apartments. This will ease the transition by having familiar items around.
  • Furnish common areas with comfortable furniture that isn’t hard on senior bodies.
  • Make sure senior living furniture meets ADA standards and is accessible for seniors of varying mobility needs.
  • Choose recliners and lounge chairs that help create cozy spaces that remind residents of home and make it easy to converse with new friends.
  • Chair frames and seat depths should be at standards recommended for seniors in order to provide the most comfortable sitting experience.

Transitioning loved ones to a senior living community is a difficult experience, especially for the resident. Choose senior living furniture that inspires confidence and comfort in their new surroundings. Northland Furniture Company will help you choose from our senior living furniture collections, or help you design custom orders to make your senior living community as comfortable and accessible as possible for your residents.

Benefits of Buying Commercial Furniture Made in America

Published by: Northland - January 27, 2016

When it comes to buying commercial furniture, we know there are a variety of options. Many hotels, senior living communities and dormitories are cost conscious of the commercial furniture they buy for their facilities – as anyone would be. Many of these companies turn to commercial furniture manufacturers in China and Vietnam, thinking the ticket price of the items they are buying equate to overall savings.

Placing an order for furniture from suppliers outside of the United States may end up costing you more money than you originally anticipated. Why is that?

Reasons to Buy Commercial Furniture Made in America

  • Turn around time – Because our furniture is manufactured in America and shipped within the country we have fast turn around times and shipping time is significantly less than overseas
  • Shipments from overseas companies can take upwards of three months, whether you’re placing a large order or just need some touch up paint for your furniture
  • Shipping and transportation costs – Costs to ship within the same country are significantly less than from outside of the USA. Where you may have saved in initial costs you will make up for in shipping costs
  • Waste – When commercial furniture is shipped from overseas it won’t be packaged in reusable blankets. These blankets decrease the amount of waste created from packing and shipping materials and saves the customer money on shipping because excess materials aren’t being used, or wasted
  • Furniture made in America creates living wage jobs for individuals and families in our community. Jobs stay here and contribute to the local economy

At Northland Furniture Company, we create furniture that’s made in America. We build all of our commercial furniture at our facility in Bend, Oregon, and source our materials from the great Pacific Northwest. We guarantee quality commercial furniture turned around as quickly as possible and do our best to eliminate waste at all costs.

Contact Northland Furniture Company for more information about our American made commercial furniture for hospitality, senior living and dormitories.

Why Buy From Custom Oregon Furniture Manufacturers

Published by: Northland - December 23, 2015

‘Made in the USA’ has always been a slogan proudly displayed by manufacturing companies in America. Everything from textiles to custom Oregon furniture manufacturers, are designed, engineered, produced and shipped from America. At Northland, we’re proud to be a custom Oregon furniture manufacturer that completes all of our projects in Bend, Oregon, with locally sourced materials.

Benefits to Buying From Oregon Furniture Manufacturers

When sourcing furniture for your new hotel, senior living facility, college dormitory or mountain lodge, many options lay in front of you. When looking for the most inexpensive option, many companies will go with a furniture manufacturer from overseas, primarily China and Vietnam. While this purchase may initially seems like the least expensive route, it often ends up costing you more in the long run.

Packaging, Handling & Freight

Transportation and handling play a large role in the decision to buy from Oregon furniture manufacturers. Shipping and handling costs from Asia paired with the wait at customs and the limitations on freight and delivery options mean you’ll be paying handsomely for inexpensive furniture. Additionally, it usually take up to three months to receive orders from outside of the United States.

Responsiveness

As a custom Oregon furniture manufacturer, we’re responsive and quick. If disaster strikes your hotel – be it a fire or a destructive rock band, we have the capability to turn around custom furniture quickly. It’s important to us to help you in your time of need as quickly as possible. Getting replacement furniture from the manufacturer you choose overseas could mean another three month wait. Why wait when you get your replacement furniture instantly?

Storage and Assembly

Many large hotels replace and furnish their rooms by floor. When you choose Oregon furniture manufacturers like Northland, you’ll be able to do this easily as we have the ability to build and store furniture until you’re ready for it. Place your entire order and then make replacements by floor while we store the pieces you aren’t ready for yet. This convenience is unheard of outside of America. Get what you want, when you want it with Northland Furniture.

When it comes to choosing between custom Oregon furniture manufacturers and a company overseas, consider the extra costs and inconveniences that aren’t immediately visible with the non-American made option. Northland Furniture builds high-quality, durable commercial furniture in Bend, Oregon.
