The Maestro range of desking and office furniture
The Maestro range of office furniture manufactured by Dams International is possibly the most popular ranges of business furniture ever manufactured. The success of Maestro office furniture is based upon a winning combination of Maestro offering great value, Maestro furniture is very dureable and functional, and Maestro offers many modular furniture products. Maestro is an excellent choice for both cost conscious firms or the home office furniture buyer.
Maestro desks are available in a choice of three basic shapes (L shaped, wave and rectangular desks) each with a selection of sizes and a choice of leg designs between wooden panel end and a grey painted steel cantilever design. In past years Maestro furniture has been sold in many different melamine faced woodgrain effect finishes. Recently the range has been rationalised down to either beech or oak woodgrain effect finish, though cherry and light grey Maestro products have only recently been discontinued and for limited items residual stocks may still be available. Several years ago the Maestro furniture range did get sold in white though it could never be ordered as a highly fashionable black furniture range.
If there is a possible shortcoming of Maestro office furniture, it is the fact that it is constructed from 18mm MFC woodgrain effect chipboard which could be deemed to be a little too inexpensive when impression counts with external visitors, though it’s hard wearing rugged durability should not be doubted despite its budget appearance. The business office furniture market has swung firmly in favour of 25mm furniture ranges in recent years which usually looks much better quality. A middle ground upgrade path from Maestro furniture is the Maestro 25 furniture range (AKA M25 range).
Maestro 25 desks are only around 10% or 15% more expensive than Maestro desking, but they appear a much better quality and give a more positive impression. Both furniture ranges can be fitted in the same office and will not look out of place. The main thing to note is that M25 desking products only come in standard metric sizes (800mm deep and metric widths like 1200mm, 1400mm, 1600mm etc.) whereas Maestro desks comes in unusual depths and widths (746mm deep and widths such as 1228mm, 1532mm, 1778mm etc.) This size issue is only an issue if you try to fit a Maestro 25 desk onto a cluster of 18mm Maestro desks.
