Is it time to upgrade the tables and chairs in your break room?

When was the last time you looked at the furniture in your employee break room or lunch room? Can’t remember? Then it's time to check it out.

A comfortable, inviting area will get more use by employees, making for more people staying in-house for lunch and breaks, thereby reducing late returns to work. Some updated, attractive furniture styles and colors can do wonders to brighten outlooks as well.

Getting a new look doesn’t have to break the bank. A little thought and imagination can go a long way toward an excellent investment.

Here are a few things to consider:
What do the table tops look like? If they are worn or dated, changing them will improve the décor of the whole room. Depending on what type they are and how they are mounted to their base, you may only need to replace the tops and reuse the bases.

Are all your tables the same size? Varying table sizes can maximize use of the room’s space and make it look more like a nice restaurant.

Size 36” x 36” tops can comfortably seat 4 people but some smaller 24" x 30" tables that can accommodate 2 people may increase efficiency.

Metal-framed chairs with replaceable vinyl seats provide comfortable, inexpensive accomodations. With replaceable seats, you can change them out to a different color down the road and liven things up again without a major investment.

Don’t forget some outdoor seating if your building allows, because people love to get outside when weather permits. Outdoor dining provides a refreshing escape from stuffy offices and cubicles. Stacking chairs and tables that hold umbrellas add convenience and atmosphere.

How people spend their non-working hours greatly impacts how they approach the time they spend working. Maintaining an attractive, inviting break area shows you value them as people as well as workers.
