Service · Sample delivery to your office
We bring samples to your office.
See and feel the chairs, fabrics, finishes, and panel materials in your actual space — under your actual lighting, against your actual walls, with your actual team sitting in them. The differentiator we built the service around. Buyers do not have to imagine furniture from a showroom photo or a sample kit on a desk. We deliver the real thing to your office.
Why sample delivery is the differentiator
Office furniture decisions are made twice. The first decision happens at the showroom or in the catalog: which chair model, which fabric, which finish. The second decision happens after install: does this chair actually feel right at the user’s desk under their lighting against their walls. Most office furniture vendors ask buyers to make the first decision and live with the second one. Eggleston Office collapses the gap by bringing the candidates to your office before the order is placed.
The practical effect: buyers commit to chair models, fabrics, and panel finishes with much higher confidence than the showroom-only buyer journey allows. A chair that looked beige under showroom fluorescents reads warmer under your office’s natural light; a panel finish that seemed loud in a sample kit blends into your wall color cleanly; the user who would have unlocked a return-to-office complaint two months in instead reports the chair feels right the first day. The cost of avoiding a wrong-fit decision before placing the order is small relative to the cost of replacing it after install — both for our customers and for us.
What gets brought to your office
The pull depends on the project. For a typical chair-evaluation visit:
- Three to six chair models — the candidates from the detailed floor plan’s recommended new-and-pre-owned mix. New 9to5 Seating chairs (Bristol, Diem, Cosmo) alongside inspected pre-owned Steelcase Leap V2 and Herman Miller Aeron, depending on what your project shape calls for.
- Fabric and mesh swatches — the available colorways and material options for the chairs in the running, plus any custom-fabric options the order would support.
- Panel and surface finish samples — for cubicle and workstation projects, panel fabric and surface laminate samples in the size your team needs to actually evaluate.
- Reference materials — the detailed floor plan printed at scale (24×36 architectural sheet size) for the working session, the 3D rendering on a laptop, and any model-specific spec sheets the conversation calls for.
