Yes. Max Furniture supplies and installs office pods, meeting pods, acoustic phone booths and workplace pods across Reading and the wider Thames Valley. We manage the full process — from initial consultation and space planning through to delivery, installation and sign-off — coordinating with local installation partners across Berkshire and the surrounding area.

We supply six product ranges to Reading workplaces: acoustic phone booths for individual focus and calls, two-person and four-person meeting pods, video conference pods, open-plan work pods, accessible pods and fully acoustic booths for confidential conversations. Each range is available in a choice of exterior fabric colours, interior finishes, glazing options and carpet styles to suit your office interior.

Most standard pod configurations are delivered and installed within four to eight weeks of order confirmation, subject to product range and order size. We carry out a pre-install site survey to ensure the installation runs smoothly. Reading’s proximity to our Brighton warehouse and the motorway network means logistics are generally straightforward. Contact us for a lead time specific to your chosen product and quantity.

Yes — and Reading is one of the best-connected locations in the country for a showroom visit. The Elizabeth line runs direct from Reading station to Farringdon in under 45 minutes, putting our Clerkenwell showroom within easy reach. Every range of acoustic phone booths, meeting pods and workplace pods is on display so you can assess performance and finishes in person. Call us to arrange a visit.

Yes. We work with workplace designers, interior fit-out contractors and office furniture dealers across Reading and the Thames Valley. We offer trade pricing, full product specifications, PCon Planner 3D visuals and dedicated project support for trade accounts. If you are managing a client project that requires acoustic phone booths, meeting pods or workplace pods anywhere across Berkshire or the M4 corridor, get in touch to discuss how we can support your programme

In addition to Reading itself, we regularly install office pods and acoustic booths across Bracknell, Wokingham, Newbury, Slough, Basingstoke, Maidenhead, Windsor and the wider Thames Valley and M4 corridor. If you are based anywhere in Berkshire or the surrounding counties, our local installation teams can manage your project on the ground.

Acoustic performance varies by product range. Entry-level booths achieve around 25dB sound reduction — sufficient for open-plan tech and media offices with moderate background noise, which is typical of Reading’s business park environments at Green Park and Winnersh Triangle. Our premium ranges deliver up to 35dB or more, suitable for confidential calls and sensitive conversations. Our team can advise on the right specification for your space.

In most cases, no. Office pods are freestanding furniture and do not require planning permission or building regulations approval when installed inside an existing commercial building. If your Reading office is in a managed business park such as Green Park or the Oracle complex, it is worth checking your lease terms with your property manager or landlord before ordering, as some commercial leases include restrictions on alterations to the internal space.

Yes. Most of our pod ranges offer a choice of exterior fabric colours, interior finishes, carpet options and glazing configurations. We can also produce PCon Planner 3D visuals showing your chosen specification in your actual floor plan before you place an order — particularly useful for larger installations across multiple floors or across several locations within the Thames Valley.

Yes. We carry a dedicated accessible pod range designed to meet accessibility requirements, with wider entry points and layouts suitable for wheelchair users. These can be specified as part of a wider pod installation or ordered as standalone units. Our team can advise on placement and specification to help you meet your obligations under the Equality Act 2010.

Pod sizing depends on your intended use and available floor space. Solo acoustic phone booths typically occupy around 1m x 1m — ideal for the open-plan layouts common in Reading’s business park offices. Two-person pods start from around 1.2m x 1.8m, and four-person meeting pods from 2m x 2m upwards. We can provide a full space planning consultation and a PCon Planner 3D layout visual to help you make the most of your available footprint.

Yes. One of the key advantages of freestanding acoustic pods over built meeting rooms is that they can be repositioned as your office layout changes or as your Reading operation grows. Most of our pod ranges can be moved without specialist tools, though we recommend involving our team for larger configurations to avoid any risk of damage during the move.

Yes. All pods include integrated ventilation and interior lighting as standard. Most ranges also include mains power sockets and USB charging points as standard. Full technical datasheets — covering ventilation rates, electrical specifications and acoustic ratings — are available for every product range. Ask our team for the relevant datasheet for your preferred model.

No minimum order. We supply single acoustic phone booths as readily as large multi-pod configurations for Reading’s bigger employers and business park occupiers. That said, delivery costs are more efficient on larger orders, so if you anticipate needing additional pods in future it is worth planning your full requirements upfront rather than ordering in multiple small batches.

The quickest way is to call us on 0207 608 1788 or complete the enquiry form on this page. Let us know the pod type, number of units, your approximate installation date and any specific space or acoustic requirements — we aim to respond with a detailed quote within one working day. For trade and dealer enquiries, please mention that you are a contractor or dealer so we can route your enquiry to the right team and discuss trade pricing.
