What to look for in quality AV furniture?
Quality AV furniture is durable, functional, secure, visually appealing, and ADA-compliant. Opt for furniture built with strong and stable materials, ensuring it can withstand the weight of your equipment and frequency of use. Consider cable management, adjustability, locking mechanisms, and ventilation to optimize functionality and security. In terms of visual appeal, look for furniture that complements the design of your space and has a modern appeal that will not go out of style. ADA-compliant AV furniture is the foundation for an ADA-compliant space, so select furniture that fulfills these essential standards.
