Office Furniture Reviews: Global Zira Tables

The popular Global Zira series was recently expanded to include a wide variety of designer conference tables. This versatile collection includes racetrack, boat shaped, and rectangular variations designed to meet the needs of any meeting area. With a wide variety of power and finish options to choose from, Zira tables are rapidly becoming the most talked about conference table line in years!

The first thing you'll notice about Zira series tables is the cutting edge modern style. These ground breaking tables offer a choice of 5 designer edge detail options at no charge to you. Consumers and design teams love this line as it offers a choice of 20 surface and base finish options to match any new or current boardroom decor.

It's no secret that powered conference tables are taking over. We expect that most industry leading brands will be offering nearly all models with optional factory installed modules in 2014. That being said, the Zira line takes power to a whole new level! While basic units are available that feature (2) 3 prong outlets and (2) phone jacks, customizable Oasis modules are available with HDMI, stereo, and other state of the art multi media features sure to take your boardroom to the next level.

One con of this nearly perfect line is the confusion factor of adding power. While we wish specking custom options were more user friendly, working with Global directly to specify your specific needs is almost a must. Installation can also be tough and working with an electrician or IT professional is definitely recommended. On the bright side, all of the table legs feature openings for a clean look that hides unsightly wires. Needless to say, these tables are so state of the art you'll want to take your time when designing the perfect model for your business needs. Those afraid of all the custom power options available on Zira Boardroom Table models will be pleased to know that you can go with basic models with no power ports.

Priced starting at $1304.99, Zira conference room table solutions are an excellent value. When compared to models from comparable brands, Zira stands a cut above the rest in terms of versatility and style. Adding storage to your conference area is also a breeze. Matching buffet carts, serving stations, and presentation stands are all available to compliment tables.

In the long run, Global gets an A+ on their new Zira table line. The modern style, customizable power options, variety of sizes, extensive selection of finish options, and simple install make Zira series office furniture an instant favorite. We highly recommend visiting a Global showroom in your area to check these out!

Most all products from this line can be assembled with two individuals. Additionally, we love Corsica furniture for the AA American hardwood construction. This stuff is just built tuff! It's so nice to have a high end office furniture collection that looks beautiful in the workplace and performs just as well. Corsica gets an A+!
