Beech Effect Office Furniture

Beech effect office furniture, the pale finish that has held British offices together since the nineties, across 82 desks, tables and storage units.

Beech has been the default British office finish for thirty odd years. It still looks decent under a strip light, which is more than some newer finishes manage. Eighty-two products come in it, largely Impulse: mobile and desk high pedestals, adjustable bookcases and lockable cupboards. Carry it across to the rectangular desks and the bench workstations, or to the meeting tables and the poseur tables.

One finish running across desks and storage has its uses. A pedestal bought today still matches a cupboard bought next year. Remove the beech tick and the same carcasses turn up in oak, maple, walnut, grey oak and white. None of your other choices go with it. Category, width, drawer count and price will narrow the list further. Prices open at £26.

Frequently asked questions

What is beech finish?

A wood-effect surface on MFC board rather than solid timber, which is what nearly all contract furniture uses. It wipes clean, resists marking and does not need treating. Everything on this page offers beech as a choice on its product page.

Will beech match between products?

Within one range it will, because it is the same board. Between different ranges and makers it can differ slightly even under the same name, which is the usual trap. If a desk and a cupboard have to sit together, order them from the same range.

Does the beech finish cost extra?

On almost everything here, no: the finish is picked on the product page at the same price. Where a finish does carry a different price, the page shows it before you add anything to the basket.

What other finishes are there?

Plenty. This page is the beech cut of the catalogue, and most of these products offer several finishes on their own page. Open one and the full list is there, so you can see beech against the alternatives.

Is this page kept up to date?

It is a live cut of the catalogue rather than a hand-written list, so it always shows what we can actually supply today. There are 82 products on it at the moment, from £26. Anything out of stock is hidden, so if you can see it and add it to a basket, we can get it.

How long does delivery take?

Standard delivery is free on everything, and most of it lands inside a week. Express delivery is offered on much of the range, priced per item on the product page, and gets an order to you within two working days if you place it before 5pm. Three of the 82 products here are made to order rather than stocked, and those take 10 to 15 working days. The product page says which, and shows the date it will arrive by before you pay.

What warranty does it come with?

Guarantees across this selection run from 5 to 10 years, depending on the product and the part, and the figure is on every product page. Structure, mechanism, electrics, and fabric and foam are often covered for different lengths of time. If something fails inside the warranty, report it from your order page and we deal with the manufacturer for you.

Can I see it in 3D?

53 of the 82 products in this selection have a 3D model on the page rather than only photographs. The viewer spins the actual model, and changing a colour or a size on the page changes the model with it, which is worth doing before committing a whole room to a finish.

Can I change my mind after ordering?

On stocked items, yes: tell us within 14 days of receiving them and raise it from your order page, with the goods unused and back in their packaging. Three of the 82 products here are made to order, though, and those cannot be cancelled once acknowledged or returned because you have changed your mind. Each product page says which it is before you buy.
