Available Hardwood Types

At SuccessImage, we manufacture all our desk accessories from real hardwoods. Each of our "series" of desk top products are available in specific hardwood types. For example, the Harvard Series is made from either Walnut, Oak or Mahogany and the Cherry Ridge Series is made exclusively from Cherry. Due to each series design and styling, not all items from one series may be available in another series.
In contrast to this, several of our office accessories are made from a wider selection of the hardwoods we offer and are not specific to any given "series". Waste baskets and wall files are examples of these and are designed to be made from, and are available in, all the hardwood types we manufacture in.

Comfortable chair mats - Partial Area Rugs

What to do when a wheeled chair is partially on an area rug and partially on hardwood?

This is an interesting and challenging arrangement for most chair mats. Most moderately uneven surfaces can be handled by our chair mats by the addition of additional rubber backing pads at our factory. We do this routinely at no charge and it works well with surfaces such as slate, stone and other such irregular surfaces. Simply specify at time of order that the mat is to be used on an irregular surface.

In this case though, the abrupt transition from a relatively thick rug to none at all would cause some problem for both the mat itself as well as the comfort of the user, due to the unlevel surface.

Our suggested solution for this is to obtain a small piece of carpet of approximately the same thickness as the area rug for the portion of the mat not backed by area rug. The mat would then be laid over the area rug and the piece of carpet. If the carpet piece was trimmed to the exact outline of the mat, a level surface would result without detracting from the appearance of the area rug and the hardwood. Any possible movement of the carpet below the mat from normal use can be controlled with application of small stick-on velcro strips which will not harm the floor or the mat and can be easily removed.

Card File Boxes and Follow Blocks

SuccessImage carries a large number of sizes of index card files including those for 3x5, 4x6 and 5x8 index cards. Each size is also available in four depths - 3, 6, 9 and 12 inches.
The 9 inch and 12 inch sizes are fitted with follow blocks that can be placed anywhere in the length of the card file.
The follow block has a release lever behind the block (not really a block, but rather a metal plate). When this lever is squeezed together with the block, much like a clothes-pin, it is free to move forward and back along the rod. When released, the spring mechanism locks the block in place. This allows any number of cards to be placed in the card file box and remain standing upright. Note that only the 9 inch and 12 inch long boxes are equipped with this mechanism.
