Bush Business Furniture launches Aspen Conference Tables and fortifies commercial offerings for evolving market

Jamestown, NY- As demand cautiously returns for commercial furnishings, Bush Industries brings to NeoCon new value-added desking, conference and storage furnishings. The timing its new products and line extensions is lock-step with the realities of the re-emerging market.

The new products offered by Bush Industries under its Bush Business Furniture™ brand include new desk and storage SKUs, as well as finishes, in its very successful Series A and Series C lines of commercial furnishings.  Bush has also launched Aspen Conference Tables, a collection that diversifies its commercial offerings, as well as a commodity line of bookcases.

"End user demand is returning but at lower price point expectations," said Bob Rosenblatt, V.P. of Commercial Sales at Bush.  "Our products are finding the mark in the 'leaner and meaner' economy."  He continued, "We've leveraged our large install base in Series A and Series C by adding new functionality and finishes.  Aspen Conference Tables give us a tool to address an unmet need in the market."

Aspen Conference Tables are a versatile solution for corporate training and conferencing rooms.  The collection includes five unique desk shapes, four of them free-standing and one corner connector.  The desks configure in multiple set-ups including board room, round table, panel discussion or traditional classroom set-ups.

Aspen desks surfaces are durable White Spectrum melamine.  The stationary metal legs have a Silver finish and levelers. Besides resisting scratches, dents and stains, the surface is textured to reduce glare and increase user comfort.  Bottom sides are melamine coated for smoothness to reduce clothing snags.  Edges have solid PVC edge banding so Tables stand up to continuous bumping and rearranging.  The collection meets ANSI/BIFMA standards and is covered by Bush's 10-year warranty.

Series A and Series C each have new desks, storage units and finishes that bring new versatility to the lines.  "L-Bow" desks now allow approach-facing keyboarding as well as computer screen privacy.  A new 2-Door Storage Cabinet and 2-Door Hutch are available in each collection which bring additional storage capability. 

Series C now has a 60" Credenza and Hutch that, together with the L-Bow Desk and 36" Return, enable an L or U-shaped configuration in a smaller footprint.  Three new finishes, Mahogany, Mocha Cherry and Light Oak, bring to six the total finish choices available in this private office line.

Series A has a new Vertical Locker that has a letter file drawer and two box drawers in the lower half and concealed storage above with a removable shelf that allows the space to function as a sweater or jacket closet.  One new finish in this line, Light Oak, brings to seven the choices that are available.

Universal Bookcases deliver strength, functionality and smart looks. Available in four finishes, Natural Cherry, Harvest Cherry, Sand Maple and Oakridge Oak, Universal Bookcases coordinate with a wide variety of office décors. Three sizes are available in each finish: 30", 48" and 72."  Each has an elevated bottom shelf and kick rail and a decorative top rail.  Shelves are sturdy 1" boards with all but the middle shelf of the 72" unit being adjustable.  The line is covered by a 6-year warranty.

Bush Industries, Inc. is a leading global manufacturer of case goods and ready-to-assemble furniture for home and office, as well as a supplier of diverse surface technologies.  The company is headquartered in Jamestown, New York, with manufacturing plants in New York State, Pennsylvania, Mexico, and Germany.
