Quality furniture that lasts for decades
Answered by Tarvo Puusepp, Elbest Kaubandus OÜ
Investing in technical and ergonomic furniture is a smart long-term strategy – well-constructed pieces can last for decades. Modular systems allow you to create a workspace that’s tailored precisely to your needs. And don’t forget lighting – it’s the final element that completes the setup.
Who Needs Technical Furniture?
Technical furniture is specifically designed for industrial environments. This includes workbenches and chairs, warehouse storage such as shelving units and bins, utility trolleys, metal cabinets, and more. These versatile systems serve a wide range of industries—from precision mechanical workshops to electronics manufacturing, where strict ESD (electrostatic discharge) compliance is essential.
In electronics industry, every item – from furniture and tools to employee clothing – must be made of special materials that safely dissipate static electricity. Ordinary furniture simply won’t do. In heavy industry, workbenches with load capacities of up to 750?kg are standard. Mobile workstations often feature perforated panels, drawer units, or trolleys with hooks for efficient tool storage.
How Is Technical Furniture Different from Office Furniture?
Technical furniture is typically made from robust materials such as square steel tubing or aluminium profiles. It’s modular, extendable, and highly configurable. This modularity allows you to quickly and easily adapt your workspace layout to suit evolving needs or specific tasks – simply by adding or removing components.
A broad selection of accessories further enhances flexibility – task lighting, waste-sorting bins, storage containers, drawer organisers, and more.
Key Considerations When Choosing Technical Furniture
Durability and Quality Count:
Furniture must be made to last. At Elbest, we've been supplying Treston technical furniture for over 20 years, and we still see workbenches from those early days in use. Treston TP series has remained largely unchanged since 1976 – a testament to its durability and timeless design.
Cost vs. Long-Term Value:
As with any product, technical furniture is available across a wide price range. While lower-cost imports may appear cost-effective, they often fall short on long-term durability and stability. Even a basic quality workbench can be a wise investment if it suits your operational needs. Remember, you’re not just purchasing a table – you’re investing in workplace ergonomics, organisation, and employee satisfaction.
Flexible Configurations:
There are many options – from simple steel-framed benches to electrically height-adjustable or tilting worktops. A fully equipped bench can serve as a complete workstation, easily adapted to individual needs and job functions.
What Brands Do We Offer?
Treston (Finland) – our most long-standing partner and one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of industrial furniture.
WFI and Intra (Sweden) – carefully selected for their high-quality, industry-grade products.
In 2011, Treston merged with GWS (formerly Sovella), forming the leading technical furniture supplier in Europe.
Why These Brands?
We chose these manufacturers based on their reliability and strong focus on innovation:
– Treston is certified to ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management). They work directly with end-users to develop bespoke solutions for real industrial needs. A recent example includes the development of robot-compatible trolleys for an Estonian client – an innovative, future-proof solution.
Who Uses Treston Furniture?
Treston primarily caters to the electronics industry, where ESD-compliant work environments are critical. Beyond well-known global firms like Ericsson, Estonia is home to dozens of electronics manufacturers with strict ESD requirements. Treston also supplies the mechanical and automotive industries with robust steel benches suitable for workshops and technical departments.

Are Companies Willing to Invest to Technical Furniture?
More and more businesses are recognising the long-term value of modular, high-quality industrial furniture. While some still make budget-based decisions, the shift towards prioritising durability, flexibility, and employee well-being is clearly gaining momentum.
Do Buyers Understand Ergonomics?
Ergonomics is a key feature of the products we offer. Treston places strong emphasis on ensuring:
– Tools are within easy reach
– Posture remains natural and comfortable
– Workstations are fully adjustable to suit individual users
Ultimately, good ergonomics lead to greater comfort, increased productivity, and a more human-centred working environment.
What’s Often Overlooked?
Clients often underestimate how much accessories contribute to efficiency. A workbench is not just a surface – it’s a foundation for a fully functioning workspace. Items like waste bins, storage trays, and lighting significantly improve workflow.
Lighting is frequently left until last – or omitted altogether – when budgets run tight. That’s why we offer a wide range of task lighting solutions, from basic lamps to smart lights controlled via app or remote, with adjustable brightness and colour temperature.
