Don't sleep on Used Office Furniture Warehouses!
All,
TLDR: If you need office furniture, consider used.
I've been researching quality office chairs for a couple of weeks, the one I had was on it's last leg and I decided that I'd spend some real money on a quality chair. I've probably bought 5 different office chairs for around $200 over the last 10-15 years and they never last.
I was looking at Hermann Miller or Steelcase, and someone on a different reddit suggested checking Used Office furniture warehouses in my area.
So I went on Saturday and found a nice high-back, heavy, memory foam cushioned one with tons of adjustment settings, very sturdy, but I was not familiar with the brand (LifeForm). There was no price tag on it, so I flagged down the sales guy and he said their used office chairs can go anywhere from $149US to $179US.
I was so hyped up because I had prepared to spend $500-$800. He said he could let me have it for $149, so I told him to ring me up!
He said I'll have a guy shampoo/steam clean it, I told him that's okay I didn't want to wait and that I had a fabric cleaner at home. He knocked $10 off the price.
I rolled out of there for $150 including sales tax.
Here's the chair at full retail. SCORE!!!
