full, queen and king sizes. Consider the size of the room and the amount of space you need to sleep comfortably to help determine
the best size. New visco-elastic "memory" foam mattresses contour to your body for added comfort while adjustable beds allow you
to customize positions for your head and feet. Dressers, chests and armoires all provide storage in the bedroom while adding an
element of style. Choose one that provides enough space while enhancing the room's appearance.

Dining Room/Kitchen: Size is one of the most important considerations when placing furniture in your kitchen or dining room. You'll
need to ensure that there's enough room to comfortably sit at a table without crowding. Try to allow 24" to 30" for each person. You'll
also want to be sure there is room for people to slide chairs in and out. Round tables work best in smaller dining rooms and kitchen
nooks as they maximize the amount of useable space. Rectangular tables are better for larger rooms and formal dining areas.
Dining chairs are available in a wide array of styles to suit your décor. Look for chairs that fit well when pushed up close to the table.
 Tables that are too small make rooms seem large and less intimate
 Tables that are too large make a dining room feel crowded
 Dining tables are typically available in 29" or 30" heights
 Expandable tables can grow to accommodate more guests
Home Office: A comfortable chair and a desk with plenty of storage space are the hallmarks of a useful home office. If you spend a
lot of time typing, e-mailing and working through spreadsheets, be sure you have a chair that provides enough support to keep you
feeling comfortable over long periods of time. Look for one that allows you to make multiple adjustments, particularly if more than
one person uses it. The more you can customize a chair, the greater your comfort level will be. Cloth and mesh materials provide
ventilation to keep the chair cool while leather and vinyl offer a stylish look that's easy to clean. A good desk should provide plenty of
space for your computer, speakers, discs, mouse and keyboard. If you use your desk for more than computer work, look for a larger
surface and extra drawers. In small rooms, consider desks that provide vertical storage or include spaces for other peripherals such
as a printer.
 Ergonomic features eliminate unnecessary strain on your back, neck, shoulders and more
 Height, armrest and tilt adjustment allow customization for long-term, comfortable use
 Chairs with five-point bases provide stability while casters provide improved mobility
 L-shaped desks can be placed in a corner for better use of space in small areas
