Rishton, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/27/2015 -- Recent American figures have caused controversy in the furniture industry, promoting comment from leading UK retailers such as Bevlan in response.The Washington Free beacon has recently conducted a review of figures on the Department of Home and Security (DHS) website; detailing that the agency has spent nearly $150 million on office furniture since Obama took office. This appears a considerable amount of money to have spent on refurbishments.

In one sense, this could show the apparent necessity with which the acquiring of quality furniture is judged in the corporate world. However, some of the figures seem significantly high, with one contract showing that $163,856 was spent on one office alone in terms of 'waiting room seating'. This adds to the accumulated figure that in the fiscal year 2014, over 1300 contracts were labelled by the DHS as 'office furniture'.

These figures from America may immediately attract interest not because of how high they seem, but the apparent extent of office work and refurbishing that is being undertaken in a central area of government.

Bevlan, who are a key office furniture supplier to a range of businesses, from the domestic to the corporate field, were quick to comment on the issue.

"What the recent American figures show is the evident popularity of acquiring new office furniture in highly professional environments." A spokesperson said "However, what is also evident is that this can often come at a significant cost. We are aware that some manufacturers can cause customers even here in the UK to face eye-watering figures.

As providers of an array of office furniture, we know how important getting high quality equipment is for professional workplace. However, we also believe that this should come at affordable, not inflated prices. We can ensure that we provide a premium selection of furniture without a shocking price tag. In turn, we want to urge businesses to see that although making office furnishing choices is an essential business decision, it does not have to break the bank."
