The Maestro range of office furniture by Dams International is possibly the most popular ranges of furniture ever manufactured and offered to the office furniture market. This popularity is based upon a winning combination of Maestro offering superb value, Maestro furniture is very hard wearing and functional, and Maestro offers a huge variety of modular furniture items. Maestro is an excellent choice for either cost conscious firms or the home office furniture buyer.
Maestro desks come in just three basic shapes (rectangular, wave and ergonomic L shaped desks) each with a selection of sizes and a choice of leg designs between wooden panel end and the more popular metal cantilever design. Over the years Maestro desking has been manufactured in several different melamine faced wood finishes. The 2008 range has been restricted to either beech or oak woodgrain effect finish, though the cherry finish and light grey furniture has only recently been phased out and for limited items residual stocks might possibly be available.
If there is a possible shortcoming of Maestro office furniture, it is that it is constructed from 18mm MFC wood effect board which can make it look a little too cheap when impression counts with external visitors, though it’s lasting rugged durability should not be in doubt despite its low cost. The commercial office furniture market has leaned firmly towards 25mm furniture products over the last few years which generally looks much better quality. A middle ground upgrade path from Maestro is the Maestro 25 furniture range (often known as M25 furniture).
Maestro 25 desking is generally around 10% to 15% dearer than Maestro desks, but aesthetically they look a much better quality and give a more positive impression. Both furniture ranges can be installed in the same office and will not look out of place. The main thing to note is that M25 desking products only come in standard metric depths and widths (800mm deep and metric widths like 1200mm, 1400mm, 1600mm etc.) whereas Maestro desks comes in unusual depths and widths (746mm deep and widths like 1228mm, 1532mm, 1778mm etc.) This size issue is only an issue if you intend to fit a Maestro 25 desk onto a cluster of 18mm Maestro desks.
