Commercial Office Furniture

For businesses furnishing office space in Austin, several local dealers handle large-scale projects.

Austin Office Furniture on Metric Boulevard handles everything from startup offices to corporate buildouts. They carry new and used inventory and offer space planning services.

Interior Concepts works primarily with corporate clients on office furniture installations. They’re a Steelcase dealer and handle projects across central Texas.

National Office Liquidators sells used commercial office furniture at substantial discounts. Good option for startups and small businesses watching their burn rate.

Used Office Furniture

Austin’s commercial real estate churn (startups scaling, companies shifting to remote) keeps the used office furniture market well-stocked.

National Office Liquidators and Austin Office Furniture both carry significant used inventory, including Herman Miller, Steelcase, and Haworth pieces at 40-70% off retail.

Liquidation auctions through sites like AuctionNinja and GovDeals occasionally include office furniture lots from Austin-area government offices and businesses.

Setting Up a Home Office in Austin

A practical setup approach for remote workers:

  1. Chair first. Budget $300-500 minimum for a chair you’ll sit in 8+ hours a day. Buy used if needed to get better quality.
  2. Desk second. A sit-stand desk in the $400-700 range is worthwhile if you’ll use the standing feature. If not, a simple fixed desk is fine.
  3. Monitor and lighting. Not furniture, but these affect your workspace more than any accessory. Position your desk to avoid window glare. Austin’s strong afternoon sun from the west is a common problem.
  4. Don’t over-buy. A desk, chair, and good lighting is all most people need. Skip the matching bookshelf set and filing cabinets unless you actually use paper.
