What are the best commercial office furniture brands to buy used? 

The best part about high quality office furniture is that it’s designed to last forever, making it a great value in the long run. The biggest hurdle for many is the price point. Buying used office furniture can offer that same great quality and longevity, at a fraction of the price of new furniture.  

When shopping for used furniture online, it can be hard to discern the true value of a product – especially if you’re unfamiliar with the furniture world. Whether you are looking for a sit-to-stand desk or a home-office rolling chair, there are a handful of great brands to keep your eye on during your search. 

Allsteel: Originally a metal manufacturer, Allsteel has grown into a high-performance furniture company that produces quality ergonomic office furniture. Sustainability is a key prioritization to them, and creating a long lasting product is a major part of fulfilling that. From desks, chairs, to storage, they offer a variety of office products.

Highly sought after for their furniture’s high quality and ergonomic designs, they extensively engineer their products to have stellar biomechanics. Notable chairs by Herman Miller are the Aeron chair and the Eames Lounge Chair.

Steelcase: Known for their innovative designs and emphasis on ergonomics, Steelcase is a popular choice in commercial environments. They offer a wide range of products such as desks, chairs, and storage systems, making it the perfect way to have all your finishes and colors match in your office. Their chairs are perfectly tailored to one’s needs as well, offering a variety of sizes and features.
