The present paper aims at assessment and prioritizing of reputation factors affecting the administrative furniture. To this end, after basic studies and review of other researches, 45 sub-criteria under 6 basic criteria of management, customer, services, social-cultural, technical and marketing- economic were recognized, and prioritized through analytical hierarchy process (AHP). To select the best criteria and sub criteria a questionnaire was designed and administered among 16 experts of furniture industry, and then evaluated considering the sub criteria. The results of synthesizing by AHP and Expert Choice software indicated that the main criteria of marketing -economic, customer, management and technical have respectively the highest scores, and also sub criteria of quality of product, customer loyalty, product price and the value of corporate brand have respectively been the most appropriate factors.
