Office Furniture:

Another important thing to consider is do you want a furnished office space unit, an executive suite that you can furnish yourself? A rule of thumb regarding commercial office space is that if you plan on staying a short time - like monthly or 6 month terms - then go with a furnished option. on the other hand if you
plan on renting an office space (in a larger building) for 12 months or longer, then you should try to buy your own furniture. Just remember that buying cubicles, desks, workstations, computers, etc. can get very expensive.
