Celebrating Furniture with Personality®

Happy Birthday National Office Furniture

Thirty years ago, National Office Furniture™ was created to deliver on two fundamental objectives: provide customers with quality office furniture at a better value; and offer shorter lead times. These are the cake, yet, we know you need the icing to thrive in today’s world and to plan for what lies ahead.

That’s where “better value” has grown into “exceptional value” which starts with a great price and becomes even more attractive with the quality, reliability, style and sustainability that are a part of everything we do. And, “shorter lead times” are complete solutions delivered in 10 business days or less… icing with sprinkles!

We look back so we can look ahead with clearer vision to continue delivering innovative, impactful solutions to you. And to take this opportunity to say “Thank You” for your support of National. National and Mason, Inc. look forward to sharing the next 30 years of Furniture with Personality® with you.

Motorized Shades from Mechoshade

February 24th, 2010

Research conducted by MechoShade and other independent studies have confirmed that standard window glazings do NOT adequately protect the building occupants from heat gain and solar glare, nor does it maximize the building envelope’s energy savings. You need to select a window covering to ensure the comfort of the occupants and maximum energy efficiency of the building.

Motorized Shades from Mechoshade and Mason, Inc.

Unlike other window coverings, MechoShades work with the dynamics of the sun and various types of window glazing to filter the radiant component of sunlight out, while allowing maximum comfort, lower HVAC consumption and A VIEW TO THE OUTSIDE. When compared with the other options, it’s easy to see why MechoShades are “The Architect’s Choice” .

ElectroShade® provides the ideal solution for executive, conference and training facilities, inaccessible high bay, and public areas. From the board room, to 40 foot tall exhibition areas, there are ElectroShade solutions that meet your criteria.
