Tables and desks enquiry

SPECIFICATION FIRST

What should I provide for a tables and desks enquiry?

1. Send top dimensions, thickness requirement, base layout and the drawing revision.
2. Specify material, edge and surface finish using references rather than only a colour name.
3. List cable openings or other requested features, assembly hardware and packed-dimension limits.

The categories describe buyer enquiry scopes, not a verified supplier catalogue or available stock. Exact models, technical evidence, origin, condition, compatibility and commercial terms require item-level confirmation.

BUYER EXAMPLE · NOT A CUSTOMER CASE

A common clarification step

Two desk offers share the same width but use different top materials. Record the difference before reviewing price, packing and sample approval.

What to compare

Compare the same top material and thickness, base construction, finish and assembly scope; list design changes separately.

Record the agreed reference revision, proposed alternative, unresolved question and approval status for each line.
