National Office Furniture

General information

Created to Deliver...
Over thirty five years ago, National was created to be a differentiator in a saturated marketplace by offering quality office furniture at a better value and with shorter lead times. National delivered on these two fundamentals then and are the foundation of the exceptional value we provide today to the contract furniture industry. Quality, reliability, safety, style, sustainability, productivity and affordability aren't just buzz words, they are priorities that we promise to deliver to all our customers, partners, neighbors, the environment and our employees. We start with the end in mind: a better tomorrow; and then we wrap our goals and the path to achieve these goals with social, environmental and fiscal stewardship.

Through our parent company and global leader in electronics and furniture manufacturing, Kimball International, Inc., we're fortunate for the strong foundation they provide in corporate social responsibility and financial acumen as well as the freedom to let our personality shine in our own way.

Stylish, affordable solutions unlock the door, and our people and performance swing it wide open with Furniture with Personality®. Furniture with Personality comes from the energy, vibrancy and insightfulness of the people at National. We answer our phones and strive for one-call resolution just like we can answer your office furniture needs with a one-manufacturer solution. We're in the business of building strong relationships and being easy to do business with.

You, our people and Furniture with Personality...
Even though this is the "About National" section, we'd rather hear more about you. After all, that's what office furniture is all about...you and your needs. Whether specifying our furniture or ultimately being the one enjoying our products, our goal is to inspire, deliver confidence and make your life easier.

In an industry where there are literally thousands of office furniture choices, the National experience is the differentiator. Our products and their performance regarding quality, reliability and sustainable attributes are second to none confirmed by our on-time delivery, durability testing and level® 3 certification. However, nothing speaks more clearly to our commitment to creating an extraordinary experience than a repeat customer.

"National has never let us down when we are in the market to purchase office furniture. Because of the variety of options of furniture available, the wide choice of fabrics and finishes, and the flexibility in putting together offices in every way, shape, and form, we have been able to work with the individual faculty members to design their offices to meet their individual needs. Whether the office layout is simple or elaborate, National is my go-to company. They make it happen!

In addition to furnishing the faculty floors, we have also redesigned some student lounge areas. These areas are constantly used by students for studying and events, and the durability of this furniture is exactly what we need. We generally purchase the WaveWorks line of furniture which in addition to being sturdy is extremely attractive with styles available to fit any taste. I am confident, however, that any National line would provide a top-notch quality product.

I have been totally satisfied not only with the furniture itself but also with the knowledge, design sense, and patience displayed throughout the years with all requests large and small and the focus on customer satisfaction that seems to be an integral part of National."

Moving forward with the evolution of spaces...
Innovative, inspiring product introductions, progressive operations and a caring culture keep moving us forward as workplace, educational and healthcare spaces continuously evolve. Our rich wood heritage and craftsmanship remains, while new products and materials integrate our product portfolio, satisfying the marketplace's thirst for lighter scale, open accommodations throughout all industries. Sustainability and social responsibility are constant commitments today and forever. Working towards zero-waste operations, life cycle assessments, chemicals of concern identification and elimination, and energy evaluations are just a few examples of our determination to reduce our environmental footprint. Our Gift of Inspiration program has donated $135,000 to healthcare and education organizations supporting outdoor healing spaces, scholarships for first generation students, mentoring programs for at-risk middle schoolers, and a cancer outreach clinic. Moving forward isn't just about being a successful company; it's about how you go about achieving this success, such as being a good corporate neighbor and doing our part and sharing our experiences to create a better tomorrow that will have the biggest impact. We hope you enjoy the National experience as much as we enjoy delivering it to you!

Putting Personality on the Map...
Whether visiting our first-class manufacturing facilities or one of our LEED certified showrooms you'll experience National's unique personality throughout our operating footprint. We take great pride in providing clean, safe work environments that promote productivity, creativity and sustainability. This instills confidence and personal ownership that is passed along to you in the form of beautiful, quality furniture that your organization will enjoy for a very long time.
