By 1996 it had been awarded International Grand Prize at the World's Trade Fair. The OFFICE takes into account ergonomics and efficiency--putting everything right where it should be.

The OFFICE CEO and Professional models are constructed of solid core, 3/4" thick mahogany plywood lumber, faced with 2-ply, hand-finished, genuine mahogany, oak or other veneers.

The OFFICE employs no particle board . Particle Board tends to fracture easily, self-destructs when exposed to moisture, and is not biodegradable. Particle board, also known as "wood solids" or "architectural board", while commonly used in the manufacture of decorative furniture, has insufficient durability to qualify for construction of The OFFICE.
Storage components within the main cabin are powder coated steel. Sheet metal components, including lift devices, are fabricated from heavy guage 1018 CRS in accordance with ASTM A366. Tubing is carbon-steel D.O.M. per ASTM A513. All metal parts are electroplated for corrosion protection prior to application of final powder-coat finish.
