Clothing >Synchronicity Boutique
25 Hooks Ln Ste 105, Baltimore, MD | Directions 2120839.387918 -76.733982
Mon - Sat, 10am - 6pm; Sun, noon - 6 pm
Neighborhoods: Pikesville
The BEST customer service I have ever experienced and great selection of dresses. First we bought a homecoming dress there. Then we bought a party dress there. Last prom, we took a car full of girls there- they all found great dresses and picked out tuxes for their dates (they fit great and looked amazing- and the guys were thrilled because they were off the hook.) We are going back for homecoming again today. Awesome job Karen, Brooke, and the rest of the staff (we feel like family- they call us when they find things they know will fit!)
My daughter and I visited this boutique in search of a prom dress.Arriving at synchronicity we were greated with friendly staff who worked well toghether. My daughter did not have a particular style in mind so she tried on many dresses. The staff was patient and accomidating. They offered advice without being pushy. We found a dress that fit my budget and my daughters wants. This boutique is not extreamely large but has many dresses and a great staff that will help you navigate while finding the perfect dress. Alexa, and Monica thanks you ladies are the best!!!!!!! Happy Parents and Happy Teen!!!!!
Horrible Customer Service – Decent selection of dresses but the worst customer service I have ever experienced. We were told they had certain dresses in stock so we drove over an hour to get to the store, only to be told they didn't carry the dresses. No one greeted us when we got there and we had to wait in line for a dressing room twice. The salesgirl was very snippy and couldn't be bothered to answer any of our basic questions. We went to M'jordell in Towson and they were extremely friendly and helpful and we found the perfect Sherri Hill dress for less money.
EVERY potential customer should receive the best customer service available anywhere at Synchronicity Boutique. If this is from a real customer, please call me personally. Alas, I'm certain this is a "fake review"- for example, if ANYONE sells Sherri Hill dresses for less than we do, they will lose their ability to sell Sherri Hill. Thank you, Karen 410-486-8866
Extremely helpful customer service – I love that they take the school names so no doubles & so many unique prom dresses to choose from. People are very helpful & very personal to every person.

CFTC Advisory
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) Office of Consumer Outreach and the Securities & Exchange Commission's Office of Investor Education and Advocacy are issuing this Investor Alert to warn about fraudulent schemes involving binary options and their trading platforms. These schemes allegedly include refusing to credit customer accounts, denying fund reimbursement, identity theft, and manipulation of software to generate losing trades.

Executive Interview: Yossi Beinart, President and CEO, NADEX
Chicago-based derivatives exchange Nadex (North American Derivatives Exchange) was founded in 2004 as the HedgeStreet Exchange, which was the first CFTC regulated internet-based futures and derivatives exchange.
Two years later in 2006, the company had two major investment partners which were the Chicago Board Options Exchange which purchased a minority stake in HedgeStreet in February 2006 and assisted in marketing the company's exchange traded binary options, under the "hedgelets" designation. In March 2006, Norwest Venture Partners provided a multi-million dollar investment in the company.
In 2007, UK based IG Group announced intent to acquire HedgeStreet and later in the year completed the purchase of the company.
Soon after the acquisition, IG Group renamed HedgeStreet to its current name, Nadex. The exchange has continued to major on exchange traded binary options and maintains a different stance to the range of other binary options companies in the market.
In this week's Executive Interview, Forex Magnates speaks to Nadex's President and CEO Yossi Beinart on the intrinsic detail surrounding Nadex's corporate profile and direction.

Nadex Commends The CFTC's Action Against Unregistered Binary Option Platforms
As the only CFTC-registered exchange that provides retail traders with direct membership and the opportunity to trade a complete array of binary options on forex, commodity futures, stock index futures and economic events, the North American Derivatives Exchange, Inc. (Nadex)commends the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) for its aggressive action yesterday to protect U.S. traders.
The CFTC filed a civil Complaint charging two companies based in Ireland, Intrade and Trade Exchange Network, with offering commodity option contracts to U.S. customers for trading, as well as soliciting, accepting, and confirming the execution of orders from U.S. customers, all in violation of the CFTC's ban on off-exchange options trading. In announcing this action, the CFTC's Director of the Division of Enforcement stated, "It is against the law to solicit U.S. persons to buy and sell commodity options, even if they are called 'prediction' contracts, unless they are listed for trading and traded on a CFTC-registered exchange or unless legally exempt."
As a Designated Contract Market and a registered Derivatives Clearing Organization subject to regulatory oversight by the CFTC, Nadex fully supports the US regulator's efforts to crack down on illegal off-exchange market activity, particularly when that activity is directed at retail traders. Timothy McDermott, Nadex's Chief Regulatory Officer, stated: "Recent events have demonstrated the importance of regulation and oversight to protect the markets and especially the retail trader from fraud and abuse. The marketplace has seen a proliferation of unregistered platforms offering binary options to US residents and this action by the CFTC sends a strong message to the operators of those platforms that such activity will not be tolerated."
Letter from Nadex CEO Commenting on PFG Regulatory Actions
In light of the recent news regarding the regulatory actions and bankruptcy filing by our FCM Member firm Peregrine Financial Group, Inc. ("PFG"), we felt it was appropriate to provide our Members with a statement regarding the situation.
All PFG customer funds on deposit with Nadex are held by Nadex in fully segregated accounts at Nadex's bank. Those funds, which represent a very small portion of PFGBest's total customer segregated funds, will be held by Nadex until disbursement is directed by the regulators and the bankruptcy court. All PFGBest customer positions at Nadex expired on Monday July 9 and PFG has no remaining open positions at Nadex. Nadex incurred no loss as a result of its relationship with PFGBest.
Nadex is a fully regulated exchange and clearinghouse. We do not trade, either on Nadex or elsewhere. Nor do we leverage customer deposits through exotic investments; instead, we currently hold all customer deposits as cash in properly segregated bank accounts. Moreover, all products traded on Nadex are fully collateralized, which means that the funds used to establish positions on Nadex must actually be on deposit with Nadex in its segregated bank account prior to an order being accepted by the exchange. This process of checking each order against the funds available to support that order, referred to as "Cap Checking", ensures that funds sufficient to cover the maximum possible loss on any trade (and conversely, to pay out the maximum possible profit on any trade) is collected in advance of the trade and held at the Nadex clearinghouse.
At Nadex, we take the integrity of the exchange and the safety of customer funds very seriously. Beyond adhering to the regulatory requirements for segregating customer funds, we feel that our fully collateralized products and the Cap Checks required by the Nadex Rules add additional levels of security that are not available on any other US exchange.
Yossi Beinart
Chief Executive Officer
Nadex Responds to CFTC Decision on Political Events
Nadex was notified by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") that the commission had issued an order disapproving each of the proposed Nadex Political Event Derivative Contracts. We are disappointed that the CFTC has disapproved our political event contracts. While we will review the CFTC's decision, we feel strongly that these products meet all legal and regulatory criteria for listing, and that the public would benefit from having these products traded on a well-regulated exchange, rather than an unregulated offshore venue as currently is the case. That said, we will continue to offer retail market participants the opportunity to trade binary options and spread contracts in a broad range of financial markets that are unaffected by this decision, which was limited to election contracts.
Read more about the Political Event Contracts response in the Press Release.
Nadex 1099 FAQs
1099-B statements will be mailed during the first full week of February. Please be advised that these documents will be sent to the mailing address on file for your account. To view the mailing address we have on file for you, please visit the "My Account" section of the Nadex platform. If there was no activity in your Nadex account during 2011, you will not be sent a 1099-B statement.

Nadex Political Events Contracts Update
The North American Derivatives Exchange (Nadex) has been notified by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) that its application to offer "Political Event" Binary Options has been received and will be subject to the CFTC's 90 day review process. While we believe these contracts meet all requirements for immediate listing, we respect the CFTC's decision and we are happy to assist their review. We are confident the Commission will see the merits of providing a regulated market for Political Event contracts. Similar contracts are currently offered only on unregulated venues – one of which is domiciled outside the United States – that do not provide the basic safeguards afforded to users of regulated markets in the U.S.
Nadex is an exchange focused on the individual retail trader, founded on the belief that everyone – not just large institutions and Wall Street firms – should be afforded an opportunity to trade markets. All of the contracts listed on Nadex are low cost, limited-risk contracts designed to decrease the capital needed to trade financial markets. Nadex has intentionally set position limits at 2,500 contracts in order to prevent market manipulation and encourage market participants of all sizes to take an economic position on the outcome of some of the most important national election results in 2012.
Read more about our Political Event Contracts response in the Press Release.
Nadex Announces Political Event Contracts Filing
Nadex announced today that it has filed a notice of intent to offer for trading "Political Event Contracts" on the 2012 elections for President of the United States as well as majority party control of the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. The filing serves to bring federal oversight to popular markets that have existed in an unregulated environment in the US and overseas for many years.
Read more about our new Political Event Contracts filing in the Press Release.
Nadex Launches Volatility Sentiment Index Number
Nadex announces the release of a daily Volatility Sentiment Index (VSI) number for each of the key asset classes on which it bases its binary option contracts. While many other market volatility measures do a good job of measuring institutions' cost of insuring their portfolios, the Nadex VSI indicators aim to capture a daily snapshot of how the speculative trader views market volatility.
Read more about our new Volatility Sentiment Indices in the Press Release.
Nadex Co-Sponsors NIBA Conference in Chicago
We are pleased to announce that Nadex will be one of the co-sponsors of the upcoming NIBA (National Introducing Brokers Association) Sales and Marketing Conference to be held September 12, 2011 at the UBS Tower in downtown Chicago.

Dermatologist Steven Wang offered sun-safety tips for summer.
Dermatologist Steven Wang talked about new FDA labeling guidelines for sunscreen manufacturers.
The US Food and Drug Administration announced today that the drug ipilimumab (brand name Yervoy) has been approved for the treatment of patients with metastatic melanoma. It is the first drug ever shown to improve overall survival for patients with advanced melanoma.
In this "Ask the Expert" feature, dermatologist Steven Wang discusses how to choose the most effective sunscreen.
In an extraordinary demonstration of excellence, five Memorial Sloan Kettering physician-scientists were selected to participate in the press program at the 2011 American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting, held June 3-7 in Chicago.
The US Food and Drug Administration announced in late March that the drug ipilimumab (Yervoy™) had been approved for the treatment of patients with metastatic melanoma.
A multicenter study led by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center investigators concluded that treatment with a new targeted therapy called PLX4032 resulted in significant tumor shrinkage in 80 percent of patients with advanced melanoma.

We are always excited to receive any kind of recognition and recently we learned that our wonderful guests voted us "Best Architecture" out of 8,500 inns in the US and Canada, for our wonderful Queen Anne/Eastlake Victorian home. Built in 1884, we have 4 wonderful stories with lots of decks and porches and scenic views. It would take you all day to examine all the wonderful gingerbread on the outside and our incredibly lovely moldings and baseboards, antique lighting and original windows (some with stained glass and some with original glass, still wavy) on the inside.
We are proud of our building's heritage and encourage anybody to come by and take a tour, if possible. We like to provide 21st century amenities in an 19th century atmosphere.
Warmest regards,
Jeff and Nadara (Sam) Feldman – and Sophie, too!

That is too cool. Off to look for a One...
Wow looks great! Kudos to the PTC group for another stellar project.
:o Dude, that fuggin' ROCKS!! :rock: That is SO bada$$ with the natural korina neck, black and gold hardware. C-l-a-s-s-y. The Starla pup is a must...and a great idea. This beast needs to be at the spring sabbatical in BF Egypt. Hear that, Dane?? ;) (soon to be a mini SE One-fest)
Hats off to Shawn and the PTC for another impressive project. If this thread doesn't start a wildfire of GAS, I don't know what will. :D
So how well does it do "Le Freak"?
Dude that looks smokin!!!! Congrats!!!!!!! Great job guys!
Looks awesome!
"I want you to go in that bag, and find my guitar"
"Which one is it?"
"It's the one that says Bad Mother..."
It turned out awesome Hans, congratulations!
that is REALLY cool ! love the lipstick tube , curious how it'll sound with the starla pickup. the PTC did a marvellous job , as always
Aaaaaaaaannnnnd... the final tweak is in! Starla pup in the bridge position!!!
This guitar is just amazing. I'll post a better photo tonight. Tone clips forthcoming.
The boys at PRS just knocked this one out of the park.
That looks like a lot of fun.
I sold my tele last week and I guess I never realized how much I really used its neck pup for recording, I may have to jock your style and find a DC SE to "Fender up" my sound.
Hans that looks killer!!!!! I LOVE that you put a Starla in the bridge! Whew....niiiiice
I may only have acquired my first PRS last week, but I have owned a black Les Paul Custom with gold hardware for years - since my grandfather gave me his when I was still in high school - and I am feeling that guitar. Congratulations on a successful project and a beautiful axe!
Yeah...that looks really sweet with the Starla in there!

A lot of attention has been given recently to Merchant Customer Exchange (MCX), the mobile wallet being built by a collection of retailers. MCX could give retailers the opportunity to play a bigger part in the payments space if it can gain wide adoption among consumers.
But there could be one big problem: some research has shown that a large segment of U.S. consumers don't trust the idea of a mobile wallet. A September survey of U.S. consumers by Consult Hyperion, an IT consultancy, found that 64% of U.S. consumers said they wouldn't use a mobile wallet, no matter who the provider was. Even among younger consumers in their twenties and thirties, the survey found that 50% wouldn't use a mobile wallet.
[See Related: PayPal Is The Most Trusted Brand For Mobile Wallets, Says Survey]
This may be bad news for MCX (and all the other wallet solutions), but it could mean an opportunity for retailers to step into the mobile payments market with their own individual mobile payments apps, says David Birch, a founding director and global ambassador for Consult Hyperion.
"Merchant apps are going to dominate anyway, I believe… it's hard to see how a third party could come up with a better customer experience than a retailer," Birch comments.
While wallet apps have yet to gain widespread awareness among U.S. consumers, retailers' apps with mobile payments capabilities, like the Starbucks app, have had more success. "Right now people are confused about the concept of the mobile wallet. But people like their merchants apps," Birch notes.
That doesn't mean that the mobile wallets players are wasting their time in the payments space. Instead of offering customer-facing apps, the wallet providers could provide the back-end infrastructure for the retailers to offer their mobile apps' payments capabilities.
"You won't see a MCX app on your phone… but MCX could provide API's to the merchants to integrate payments into their apps," Birch predicts. "You'll have your Walmart app, your Untied [Airlines] app, your Uber app, and underneath they will be using the wallet provider's infrastructure."
By leveraging the wallet providers in this fashion, retailers could offer their own payments apps without requiring consumers to enter their payments credentials with each new app they download, and could leverage the wallet provider's infrastructure for security and authentication, Birch adds.

Housed in the beautifully restored Tao Nan school building on Armenian street and the showcased Empress Place Building, the museum first opened in 1997, showing mostly Chinese civilisation items. The displays now are the cultures that make up Singapore and include the Peranakan cultural collections, Malay, Islamic, Hindu, and even Taoist items in its 11 galleries. Visitors will find the flat screens at the exhibits to be something of a great help.
The collections include acquisitions and artifacts that were inherited from the historic Southeast Asian collection of the former Raffles Museum. The museum features changing exhibits throughout the year. Often the special features can be found on their website or in different Singapore online guides.

NORTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS brings together current and historic data relating to North Carolina agriculture. This service has been provided by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in cooperation with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA & CS) since 1919. The collection and dissemination of agricultural statistics began in 1863 and is one of the oldest activities of the USDA. Information is collected in a cooperative program by NASDA enumerators who collect statistical data from both personal on-farm and telephone surveys. The success of these cooperative relations can be attributed to the response of farmers and agribusinesses to our surveys. The information collected by individual operations is held strictly confidential and is published in state and county level for use by farmers, economists, the general public, and other government agencies.

We as gun owners and carriers have to decide how far we are willing to go to not support anti gun companies or individuals.
It sounds good on paper but in reality it would lead to a pretty boring, antisocial life not to mention a very limited employment market. Here is an older list so there is probably more now. Generally speaking businesses do not care if we tell them we will not be back since they do not allow firearms we are the minority in this situation.
Anti-gun Companies, Organizations, Media And Celebrities - Gun Owners Of America
If someone chose to go all out and not do business or support anti gun places you would not send your kids to school as most of not all administrator and teacher and educational organizations are anti gun. You could not seek medical treatment as again most MD and nurse's organizations are anti gun. You could not have a union job as they are anti also.
Movies and music would be out also as many artists and actors are against firearms. Sports would be limited as some professional athlete's do not approve of firearm ownership. Forget the AARP, PTA or whatever they are called now, and you would have to think twice about your religious preference as many governing bodies of churches are also anti gun.
People in general will support a cause as long as it does not effect their daily life to much. I don't know how many times I have heard someone say I will never shop at Walmart again but yet they are in the store two days later. It is the property owners right to say what comes onto or into their place of business as long as they do not discriminate against race, religion, handicap and so on. Carrying openly or concealed is not a category in any of these so we have to make our own choice as to where we go and spend our money.
One thing to keep in mind is that while we carry concealed and no one knows IF we ever had to use our weapon in one of these posted places we could be in a heap of trouble. Generally speaking one of the first questions asked as part of the question "What a reasonable and prudent person would do in the same situation" is "Were they legally there in the first place?". If the answer to that question is no most of the time anything that happened after that even if you save the day is a moot point.
In our crazy mixed up legal system things that should not happen do even with the best of intentions. Not long ago a restaurant employee was carrying against company policy and shot and killed an armed robber. He had the best of intentions and probably saved lives but he was terminated for his actions. Should the family of the deceased, unless a state law applies and prevents it, could sue the restaurant chain because the employee was "illegally" in regards to company policy, carrying a firearm that led to the death of the individual.
In regards to employers banning their employees from carrying there is something on the books called "The Law of Vicarious Liability" which states an employer could be held liable for acts committed by the employee. Same thing for parents could be held liable for actions of their children. This liability can even be extended to a vehicle owner who loans their vehicle to someone you are responsible for what they do just as if they were driving the car themselves.
I apologize for being long winded but there is a lot to consider in regards to this.

The airport is first place in the Ústí nad Laben region to serve Gambrinus 11° from tanks (Translation)
28 October 2009
The Czech beer tanks are THE FASTEST popping up in history
Ústí nad Labem, October 26, 2009 - Even though sales of bottled beer have currently caught up with the leading beer on tap, interest in tank beer is growing, even in the Teplice and Ústí nad Labem region. Monthly, about 63,300 liters of beer, which is equivalent to 1266 kegs of beer, is poured in the local Plzeňský Prazdroj tank facility. Prazdroj delivers within the region to about 15 tank facilities with more than 50 tankers. The newest tank facility was opened on Friday in Ústí nad Laben - a pub, "Letiště," will be the only one in the Ustí nad Labem region serving the most-sold Gambrinus 11° Excelent from a tank.
"Patrons will seek out high quality and well-prepared beer, even in hard times and economic trends of the beer market, as witnessed in the decrease of demand for beer from barrels. Even though tanks are suitable only for selected pubs with high volume and excellent care of beer quality, we have to really establish tank facilities in numerous pubs in order to satisfy demand," says Milan Heřman, head of the tank division at the Plzeňský Prazdroj.
Nowadays, the tanks use a system called bag-in-box, in which the beer is stored in a watertight, polypropylene bag and it does not come in contact with air or with the wall of the tank, which positively influences the quality of beer as well as care.
The pub Letiště is in an area called Severní Terasa (North Terrace) and it is becoming the fourth tank facility with Plzeň beer in Ústí nad Labem. And since it is the only tank facility in the region, it will serve the most-sold Czech Gambrinus 11° Excelent. Monthly, about 7000 liters are drunk here from four 500 liter tanks, as the tanker with the Plzeň beer comes here 1-2x a week.
"Our customers were interested in the beer from tanks, and we did not want to have to always run to the cellar and open barrels. A three month reconstruction to a tank facility also required receiving a certificate for excellent care of the beer - the same one we got for serving from barrels. We are still adjusting small details, there is always something that we can work on," says the owner of pub Letiště, Josef Janeček.
The original name of the pub was Horizont, but during the summer, long term customers changed the name to Letiště, due to an unusual, long and narrow layout, which reminded them of an airplane. Four excellent pool teams of the premier league come to practice at Letište.
In the last year, the number of facilities increased the fastest in Czech history. On average, Plzeňský Prazdroj opens about six new pubs with their tanks every month, while during 1994 - 2008, only three tanks were added every month. Prazdroj delivers to about 600 tank facilities with more than 2300 tankers.
No place in Europe and probably no place in the world has such an abundance of tank facilities and of sophistication as in the Czech Republic. It helps that the beer plays a role as the national drink and also the fact that in the Czech Republic it is a tradition to have only one of very few brands of beer on tap.
Notes to editors:
-With total sales of 10.7 million hectoliters in the 2008 calendar year (including licensed production abroad) and with exports to more than 50 countries, Plzeňský Prazdroj is the biggest producer of beer in the region and the biggest exporter of Czech beer.

Beginnings of beer tanks
Former "Restaurants and canteens" (RaC) with high capacity (usually at train stations and in the suburbs) used so-called standing tanks. The beer was served with the use of regular air compressors. However, during longer use, the beer came in contact with air and would soon fizz out and loose its vigor. Also, materials which were used - enamel or steel with chipped paints - were not good for the quality of beer. The volume of these tanks was anywhere between 1000 and 1700 liters. To measure served beer, they used a so-called beersign - a tube with a ruler running along the whole height of the tank.
Modern beer tanks contribute to good quality beer
Plzeňský Prazdroj started using the predecessors of today's tank facilities in the beginning of 1990. High capacity tanks from that era were, in comparison with the RaC tanks, a big step forward. But they presented certain risks with insufficient sanitizing of tanks, or of the tubes and incorrect manipulation of beer, or during long periods of serving. These presented a risk of degradation of beer characteristics. This risk was gradually eliminated with a new solution of rustproof tanks with a volume of 1000 liters (also with volumes of 500 liters starting in 2006), in which beer is stored in a watertight polypropylene bag - a so called bag-in-box system. While serving beer, it does not come in contact with air or with the wall of the tank, which positively influences the quality of beer and its durability.
If the beer is well taken care of, then there is no difference in quality between beer from a tank or from a barrel. While tanks are, from a transportation point of view, very efficient for establishments with high volume, barrels are less expensive and with their smaller volume allow for the quality of beer to stay high even at establishments where it is not drunk as fast. Plzeňský Prazdroj aims to achieve quality in all sizes of establishments by implementing various sizes of tanks (1000 l, 500 l, also barrels of (50 l, 30 l, and 15 l).
The tank facilities serve unpasteurized beer in order to maintain quality. It is necessary to serve the beer out of the tank as fast as possible: approximately within a week, or within three days after opening. Therefore, a necessary condition for installation of a facility is a certain weekly demand for beer. Ideal volume for large beer tanks (volume of 1000 l) is 2000 l per week and for small beer tanks (volume of 500 l) 1000 l per week. The price of a tank facility varies based on installation, but usually it is around 650 - 800 thousand Czech Crowns (37,013.60 US$) per tank facility.
Beer from tanks has advantages mainly for managers of establishments - they don't need as much room for storage of barrels and they don't have to run often to the cellar in order to open another barrel. Beer cooling in a tank is also energy efficient.

What makes a reception desk special? Office desks have the potential to create a great first impression which will keep clients coming. Whether furnishing for a school office, medical center or executive suite, you're sure to make a positive impact with office reception desks from Hertz Furniture.
What is the difference between a reception desk and an office desk?
What distinguishes a reception desk from a regular executive desk is the raised transaction counter. This may seem like a small detail, but it will make a huge difference to your receptionist. Many administrative assistants and receptionists work in the middle of the waiting room or the lobby. It can be quite challenging for them to be productive with people constantly coming in and out of their workspace throughout the day. The transaction counter creates a bit more privacy, so it is easier for receptionists to get their work done.
A raised counter can also serve a number of functional purposes as part of a receptionist desk. Many transaction counters have letter organizers behind them which provide an excellent place to put prescriptions or transcripts that people are coming to pick up in the near future. Having everything ready when the client comes in demonstrates professionalism and organization. The transaction counter also provides a comfortable surface in the prime location of an office reception desk for patients and clients who need to fill-out forms.
What do you need in a reception desk?
There are a number of important considerations in any office desk purchase which apply to reception desks as well. The number of pedestals and the arrangement of the drawers determines how much can be stored in the desk. It is especially important for a receptionist to have enough space in the desk for everything that is needed so there is easy access to anything that clients might ask for.
All pedestals have some combination of box drawers and file drawers, but the right option for your office reception desk depends on the needs of your administrative assistant. Box drawers can store just about anything, but are often used for larger office supplies. File drawers enable professionals to keep all important forms, documents and papers organized. Having the right kinds of file drawers is especially important when it comes to reception desks, because receptionists need to have easy access to forms and files. Although they are not always part of the pedestals, pencil drawers are another feature to look for. They provide the perfect space for pens, pencils, staples, scissors and other small office supplies. You may choose either a one- or two-pedestal receptionist desk depending on your storage needs and space.
What is the best way to arrange the computer on my reception desk?
In the modern office, computer-friendly furniture is essential. Virtually every professional has a computer at their desk, so it is important to make sure that the modern receptionist desk is arranged to accommodate any accessories that are needed, whether a laptop or desktop is being used. Wire-management grommets are an important feature to look for when choosing a reception desk because they enable you to route cables away from the desk surface. This reduces clutter and maintains a professional appearance in the workplace.
You also want to make sure that the work surface of the office reception desk is arranged to support all of the components of a desktop computer. The surface has to be large enough for a keyboard and a mouse in addition to the monitor. Alternatively, you may choose a model with a pullout keyboard tray which facilitates proper typing posture and leaves more open space on the work surface. Even when there is a computer on the desk, it is still important to have extra space to write things down by hand when necessary.
What kind of reception desk will look good in my lobby?
Choosing an office reception desk isn't just about the functional features. Because the receptionist desk is the first thing everyone sees when they walk into your workspace, you want to make sure that the style reflects the image of your company. Make sure to choose wood stains that coordinate with other reception furniture and produce an attractive visual effect. Drawer pulls and other accents also contribute to the style of an office desk and the image that it projects.
Reception area furniture will be the first thing people see when they come into your company headquarters so it is important to make sure that it makes the right impression. A modern reception desk is often the focal point of a waiting room or lobby. With the right reception furniture, clients or patients will feel comfortable, relaxed and impressed with your company's taste and professionalism.
No matter what your budget or style is, Hertz Furniture has the reception desk you need to create an attractive professional image. Our models come from leading office furniture manufacturers including DMI, Mayline, High Point and ABCO. Many of our models are part of whole office furniture collections so you can coordinate your entire workspace. You can't go wrong by investing in an elegant office reception desk from Hertz Furniture.

They will understand that there are many reasons to be proud to be an American.
When you go shopping for furniture made in the USA, make sure to really check the label before purchasing anything. While some companies might claim that they are only using American labor, it is possible that certain steps in the assembly process are happening overseas, or that international parts are being used with the assembly process in America. It is important to demonstrate to manufacturers, the American public and the world that it does make a difference to consumers when they have furniture made in America.
There are tons of benefits to purchasing made in USA furniture. First of all, America has very strict standards regarding pollution in product production. When you buy American, you help keep a cleaner environment for the future of our children. When you purchase products without looking for the made in USA label, you don't know what they might contain or what kinds of conditions they were made under. Products from overseas might have been made under substandard working conditions, in factories which are causing tons of air pollution or using child labor.
American labor standards and worker conditions ensure that your office furniture is only produced under acceptable conditions. Made in the USA products have been manufactured through processes which take into account the safety of the workers, the quality of the products and the impact on the environment. When you buy American, you celebrate our country's independence and promote a self-sufficient economy.
When you buy domestically-produced furniture, you can feel good about your purchase. It's great to know that it was made under particular conditions, in compliance with strict standards. You also know who made it. The production of American made furniture creates jobs for our country's citizens. It is always important to support the American labor force, and buying furniture made in the USA is a mutually-beneficial way to do so.
