Jamestown, N.Y. — Bush Industries, a manufacturer of furniture for homes and offices, has launched three commercial-grade collections designed for teleworkers and micro businesses.

It also added extensions to its Quantum and Milano commercial lines and announced a new distribution center.

As part of the company’s Work@Home program, the new products feature ergonomic desk and drawer heights, inch-thick work surfaces, and compliancy with state and federal health and safety guidelines.

Three lines were introduced: Enterprise, described by Bush Industries as having contemporary styling and Harvest cherry and Mocha cherry finishes; Syndicate, with “traditional” styling and harvest cherry and Mocha cherry finishes; and Venture, described as having functional, small-space styling with Hansen cherry finish.

In expanding the company’s Quantum and Milano lines, Bush Industries added the following products:

The Quantum line now has models offered in Harvest cherry or Modern cherry finishes. These include a 60-inch desk, 60-inch credenza, 60-inch tall hutch, 60-inch short hutch and 72-inch peninsula desk.

The Milano line now has models offered in Harvest cherry or Golden Anigre finishes. These include a 66-inch L-desk, short storage tower and a bookcase.

All of these products are scheduled for September delivery. Pricing was not available at press time.

Bush Industries also announced it had opened its second distribution center, an 85,875-square-foot center in Reno, Nev. This enables next-day shipping to all ZIP codes in the contiguous United States, it said.
