The furniture legs should also have water proof boots made of metal to prevent water and parasites from affecting the furniture through the legs.

Due to the rising cost of timber many people are constructing kantoormeubelen using metal framework and applying and layer of cane to it so as to give it a natural look. Metal is preferred to make the frames since wood could easily warp especially when exposed to the element thus losing the furniture’s’ original shape and weakening but metal will retain its shape over many years before it needs any repair. The cane or sisal rope used to make office furniture is also quite cheap and easily available and could be changed whenever the person desires to do so. When choosing furniture that requires maintenance one should consider if the replacement materials are available in the place he lives, since not having the material would mean abandoning the furniture once it gets old but with cane and sisal it is easily available across the world and the prices is also low making maintenance a simple procedure that does not require to be extensively thought about.

Prices of office furniture vary greatly but a budget of about 1000 US$ would get you reasonable quality furniture that will last many years if given the proper attention and maintenance. All furniture requires proper care and maintenance since they are constantly used by office workers and clients visiting the office and without proper maintenance the furniture is bound to get damaged over time. Maintenance such as painting or varnishing should be organised by the owner on an annual basis. The furniture also requires cleaning on a daily basis since some wood mites travel in dust and if not wiped regularity will begin boring in to the wood.
