- Modern Office is a small, independent company. All items we sell or have made for
us are selected by us for value, function, and style. Unlike many other office
furniture retailers, we are not limited to selling items pre-chosen by a wholesale or
franchise distribution program. We personally select furniture to offer in our own
catalog and online store -- many of our competitors purchase an advertising or
marketing program from a second party that includes items chosen by someone
else -- they have little choice in what they offer the customer. The Modern Office
catalog has been completely written and produced by us for over 25 years.
Modern Office provides personal service by conscientious and knowledgeable
employees - usually the same people who select our products and write our catalog
- not uninformed order-takers or fulfillment company employees.
- Modern Office is an office furniture retailer that has an online store, not an
“e-tailer” that happens to sell office furniture. Any company can open an online
store and process orders within hours -- they can disappear just as quickly.
- Modern Office has been located in Eden Prairie, MN for over 25 years. We own
and occupy our own office/warehouse building.

Conference Tables
- Conference tables are usually made with surfaces in laminate, wood veneer,
combinations of solid woods and veneers, solid wood, or glass.
- Laminate conference tables are the most common and often the most economical
alternative. Plastic laminates provide a hard, durable surface that is stain
and scratch resistant. Laminates today come in a wide range of colors,
including wood tones, solids, and patterns, for appearances from contemporary to
traditional.
- Wood veneer conference tables offer the beauty of real wood. Veneer is a
layer of real wood over a particleboard core. The core is identical to the core
used in laminate tables, so table strength is the same. Veneer surfaces are
often sealed with a thick poly surface for a rich look and durability, while
other veneers are less treated for a more natural wood appearance. Veneers are
sometimes combined with solid wood -- the solids are typically used on the
edging of the table.
- Completely solid wood conference tables are not as common today. Modern
Offers solid oak conference tables in a variety of shapes and sizes and several
finishes.

Not sure what size conference table to order?
- A general rule is that the length of a table in feet equals the capacity of the table. An 8' table is for 8
people. A 10' table is for 10 people. A 12' table is for 12 people, etc.
- Be sure to measure your space so that you purchase a conference table of the
appropriate size for your room. You should leave room for chairs and aisles
on all sides of the table. Don't forget to also measure your doorways,
hallways, etc., to be sure that the table will fit in order to reach its destination
room. If you have a need for a large table but your doorways and hallways
are not large enough, you'll need to order a table that is available with a
two-piece top.
