Technology Meets Art aVersa

Versa Tables, the L.A.-based computer desk manufacturer, recently announced additional customizations available on its already popular Versa Art Table. Known industry-wide as an innovative leader in computer furniture, Versa sells products all over the nation to clients that cover a multitude of industries from educational facilities like universities and secondary schools to office buildings to military bases.

Although Versa Tables most popular product is the classic Versa Table, available in multiple sizes and colors, Versa Tables line of art and drafting tables are getting recent attention. The blend of the traditional, tilting art desk and the modern computer table appears to be just what the doctor, er, um, artist ordered. "With the art industry evolving to incorporate computers into the creation of art and design, how could we ignore that fact and still expect to make a table that clients need?" explains Christopher Stormer, COO at Versa. "You can make an art desk that's high quality, affordably priced, and looks fantastic, but if it doesn't serve every function the user needs, then it's basically not worth it. Graphic designers, artists, students… they all use computers constantly and it makes no sense to have one table for brainstorming and another one to support your computer."
The beauty of Versa's art table is that it's completely customizable with the type of customizations the user might actually need. Anyone can skip the re-seller and order a table online straight from Versa. Then, choose the add-ons you want and forget the ones you simply don't need. Popular customizations include a height adjustable computer monitor platform that can be situated on either side of the table (perfect for right- or left-handers), caster kits, printer platforms, and even computer tower holders for those who use PCs.

This type of individual customization isn't just confined to the art table and drafting tables Versa offers. Every product Versa sells is customizable including classroom tables for classroom computer labs, office desks, and medical and dental work stations. The customer also has a choice of color options and combinations with every desk and accessory.
The art desk offers 75 degrees of tilt adjustment with its simple, pop-pin adjustment system. The height also adjusts from 24 to 48 inches and the work surface comes in standard 48" by 30-inch dimensions. It comes equipped with a full sized storage tray and in six different color combinations. Quantity discounts begin with only three like units, making it even more economical for educational institutions, small businesses, and design departments who can't qualify for bulk discounts the way big guys can.

In addition to the high-end products themselves, Versa is known for excellent customer service and its no questions asked lifetime warranty on all the products it sells. Items ship for absolutely free anywhere in the continental US regardless of whether the order is 500 tables or one keyboard arm. Most products ship from the factory within one to 2 business days as well.

Finding College Loans Without A Cosigner

With education costs continuing to increase year on year it is becoming harder to source the funds necessary for college and more and more students spend more time thinking about raising the funds needed than they do working at their studies. If this was not bad enough in itself all too many students discover that once they have graduated they are saddled with so much debt that it quite simply drags them down and will probably take many years to pay off. If this paints a grim picture then for all too many students the problem of financing their education is magnified by a need to raise the necessary funds without having a cosigner to their loans.

These days college funding is not simply a matter of turning to a single source of finance for the majority of students but is a matter of creating a portfolio of funds from a range of different sources.

The first port of call for every student must be to look for scholarships and grants. Far too many students ignore this source of essentially free money altogether and yet you would be surprised at just how many scholarships and grants are on offer nowadays. In a lot of cases of course the amounts of money in question are relatively small but nonetheless can be very helpful as a part of your total funding plan.

The next port of call should be federal loan funding through schemes like Stafford and Perkins loans which are granted as both subsidized and unsubsidized loans. Perkins loans especially attractive because of their low rate of interest but are also the hardest loans to obtain and require students to show particular financial hardship.

Alas at this point although you will have begun to create your portfolio it is unlikely that this will give you sufficient funds and you will now need to begin casting your net wider and here you will have two paths to follow.

If you can get the assistance and support of either a parent or guardian then they could apply for a federal student PLUS loan to make up the shortfall between the funding you have been able to get yourself and the total cost of attending college. Student PLUS loans are subject to your parent or guardian having a fairly good credit rating but the requirements are generally less strict than those which would be applied by a private lender.

If you have not got a parent or guardian you can turn to or decide to go it alone then you will need to seek a private loan and just how simple this will be will depend to a large extent on your own credit history. In most cases private lenders will be quite happy to offer you a loan as long as your credit rating is good and will ask for a cosigner if you have no credit history against which they can make their lending decision or have a poor credit rating. In spite of this, with a growing number of people with a bad credit rating these days there is also a growing number of private lenders who are prepared to offer loans without the need for a cosigner and so it is simply a matter of shopping around.
