Austin Furniture Guide

Office Furniture in Austin

Office furniture setup with desk, monitor, ergonomic chair, and bookshelf

Think about how you will use the space. One desk at home is different from twenty desks at work. Try the chair and desk together. For a business, ask for one price that covers all the desks, delivery, and setup.

A regular desk can work well if it is the right height. Mark its size on the floor with tape. Leave room to pull out your chair and keep doorways clear.

Ergonomic chairs and Herman Miller

The Herman Miller store locator lists an Austin store at Domain Northside. Call first to ask if the chair you want is there. Our guide to Herman Miller in Austin covers new and used chairs.

Try the chair at a desk. Change the seat height, arms, and back tilt. Sit for a while. Check that the arms fit under your desk and the seat does not press against your legs.

Commercial office furniture

For a new office, make a floor plan. Count the people and desks. Set a move-in date. Affordable Office Solutions lists used cubicles. Ask what is in stock and if setup is included.

Ask for a list of each cost: furniture, shipping, delivery, setup, and trash removal. Ask who handles power cords and building access. Get the finish date in writing. A shipping date alone does not tell you when the office will be ready.

Buying used desks and chairs

Search Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist Austin for the model you want. Check it before you pay. Test the chair lift, back, arms, wheels, and controls. Raise and lower a desk. Check for missing parts or wires.

If the seller has more than one, check each item. A missing chair arm or desk control can wipe out your savings. Our used furniture guide has more tips. Use the delivery guide to plan pickup.

A practical home office purchase order

  1. Measure the room and the route into it.
  2. Choose a chair that fits you and your work surface.
  3. Buy a desk sized for the equipment you actually use.
  4. Add storage only after you know what needs a home.
  5. Confirm the total delivered price and return terms before ordering.
