Call a local contract furniture dealer. They have the greatest buying power and can direct you to a product that gives the best bang for your buck. Any major furniture line will list who their dealers are by region or city on their website. Each dealer has access to over 300 manufacturers in

Thanks, Steve - I think you're 100% correct in your assessment of the current situation. My hope is that by working together a bit and coalescing some coworking story data, we can help get some of the more interesting (and new!) stories out there to the press. Getting annoyed by a story is one thi

Susan: I think the NPR story is in part a function of the amount of press coworking has been getting. As a topic gets more coverage (and coworking's gotten a lot of coverage over the last 6 months), reporters and editors start to look for new angles and hooks to cover. This is due to reporte

Three questions/comments about the stories: 1) You've probably answered this already, but: Will the coworking space owners get a collection of the stories submitted by their members so they can use them to help tell their own space's stories? It would sure give the space owners an incentive to en

Hey Susan, The form you created looks really great. One suggestion if it's still open for a small change: In our space, I think, the best stories have been about unexpected collaboration between members and the value that comes from that. Even though you have a lot of story categories and I'd ha
