What is BIFMA certification and why does it matter for desks?

BIFMA certification is the defining standard of commercial-grade furniture. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, every desk we carry has been tested to BIFMA X5.5, which subjects the desk frame to 400-lb vertical surface loads, 150-lb forward pull tests, and 100,000 drawer cycle tests. This testing program is why commercial furniture carries 10–15 year warranties while consumer furniture carries 1–3 years. When evaluating competing products, always ask for the BIFMA test report — not just a marketing claim. Call 1-800-460-0858 for documentation.
