What types of office furniture do you sell?
Everything a workplace needs, sourced from company relocations and office clearances: task and meeting chairs, sit-stand and bench desks, boardroom and café tables, sofas and lounge seating, acoustic booths and pods, storage, and accessories such as monitor arms and power units. Our stock comes from premium manufacturers including Vitra, Herman Miller, Humanscale, Knoll, Steelcase, Senator and Orangebox, and changes every week as new clearances arrive.
Is the furniture new, used or refurbished?
Most of what we sell is pre-owned. Every item is inspected and cleaned before it goes on sale, and its condition is stated on the listing: Used items are in good working order with only light signs of use, Refurbished items have been professionally repaired and re-finished, and Never used or Ex-showroom items are as new. Any notable marks are photographed and described so there are no surprises.
How much can I save compared with buying new?
Typically 50–80% off the list price of the equivalent new item, and often more on premium brands. A task chair that retails at over £1,000 new can be found on our site for a few hundred pounds, and a whole floor of matching bench desks costs a fraction of a new installation. Because we buy complete office clearances we can also offer large matching quantities that would be expensive to source new.
Are the photographs of the actual items?
Yes. We photograph the furniture we are selling rather than using manufacturer catalogue images, so what you see is what you get. Where a listing covers several matching items they come from the same office and are in consistent condition.
Can I view the furniture before I buy?
Of course. Viewings are by appointment at our London warehouse. Call or email us with the item codes you are interested in and we will arrange a time.
Do your prices include VAT?
Prices are shown including VAT by default, and you can switch to ex-VAT prices using the inc VAT / ex VAT toggle at the top of every page. A full VAT invoice is issued with every order.
Do you offer delivery and installation?
Yes. We deliver across the UK, and through our sister company ARI Installations we can position and assemble desks, tables, booths and storage, remove packaging and take away your old furniture at the same time. Delivery is charged according to location, quantity and access and is confirmed before you order. Collection from our warehouse is also available.
How quickly can you deliver?
Everything on the site is in stock and ready to go. Smaller orders in London and the Home Counties are usually delivered within a few working days; larger orders and installations are scheduled with you at a time that suits your office.
Do you provide discounts for bulk orders?
Yes. Many of our products are available in large matching quantities and we offer discounts on bulk orders and full office fit-outs. Tell us what you need and we will quote accordingly.
Can you buy or clear my old office furniture?
Yes. Our buy-back and clearance service is how most of our stock is sourced. We will survey your furniture, make an offer for anything with resale value and clear the rest responsibly, with as little as possible going to landfill. It is ideal if you are relocating, downsizing or refitting. See our Buy Back & Rentals page or contact us for a quote.
How does buying pre-owned furniture help the environment?
Office furniture is one of the largest sources of commercial waste in the UK, with hundreds of thousands of desks and chairs sent to landfill every year. Choosing pre-owned keeps well-made furniture in use, avoids the carbon and raw materials embodied in manufacturing and shipping new items, and reduces waste at the end of the office's life too. It is one of the simplest ways for a business to cut the environmental footprint of a fit-out.
What if there is a problem with my order?
We stand behind everything we sell. If an item arrives damaged or is not as described, contact us within 14 days of delivery and we will repair, replace or collect it in line with our money back guarantee.
