Hehe, following tradition of students everywhere then!

Responses in the quote below....
Ali wrote: 1. Do you use office furniture on a regular basis?
Yes/No - occasionally, e.g. when in uni labs

2. Do you prefer traditional or modern looking office furniture?
Traditional/Modern - modern, seperates it from more traditional home furniture to chreate a different atmosphere

3. Would you prefer softwood or a combination of plastic and metal furniture?
Softwood/Plastic + Metal - plastic & metal, see above

4. Do you use office furniture at a work office, a home office or personal use?
Work/Home office/Personal - work? what's that? I guess my desk & associated crap count as office furniture, so home.

5. Do you use a PC on your desk or under it? Any other heavy items please specific
On/Under plus anything else… - PC's under the desk and in a cupboard. Monitor on desk, obviously. Laptop anywhere...

6. Do you have a need for extra storage
Yes/No - always! You can never have enough storage!

7. Would you like to see the ability for adjustment in office furniture
Yes/No - yes, it's important to be comfortable when working

8. Would you prefer an office chair on castors or fixed?
Castors/fixed - castors, definately

9. How much would you be willing to spend on an office chair?
£10-30, 30-50, 50-70, 70-90, 90+ - 10-30, I'm a student. I'd expect a decent business to spend about 50.

10. How much would you be willing to spend on an office desk?
£10-30, 30-50, 50-70, 70-90, 90+ - current one cost £0, again I'd expect a busness to spend around 50 quid or so.
