Product Testing

We conduct exhaustive testing on all of our furniture to ensure that it is safe, durable and performs to expectations. Our Quality Engineering Lab is staffed by ASQ certified quality engineers and technicians who follow nationally recognized standards when putting products through their paces. Following are some of the tests they administer.

• Resistance to scratches, stains and abrasions
• Weight load
• Leg strength
• Drawer pull cycles:
  • Mobile pedestal: 50,000 cycles
  • Lateral file: 75,000 cycles
  • Door/hinge: 20,000 cycles
• Tip stability

The result of this obsessive attention to quality is that our products are ergonomically correct and compliant with state and federal health and safety guidelines.
 

Third-Party Testing Standards

ANSI - American National Standards Institute

• Non-profit organization that administers the US voluntary standardization and conformity assessment system. Specifies test procedures for measuring various raw material aspects and assessing finished goods quality.

BIFMA - Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association

• Non-profit trade association of furniture manufacturers and suppliers.

Consumer Research

• What are the features that consumers need?
• What styles are appealing?
• How do people use our furniture?
• How can we provide maximum value to the people who buy our products?

We then use the results from our research to design and manufacture smart products that are not only visually appealing, but meet expectations and get the job done. At Bush Business Furniture, we know what works!
