As we were researching what people have searched for on our site, the term "office chair for heavy person" came up. I instantly called dibs on this because these are my people! I too am a heavy person who uses a heavy duty office chair. In fact, I wrote about the process of me choosing my own from a large selection of heavy duty office chairs found within our inventory a couple years ago. To see the original article, click this link- The Genie- My 9 to 5 Office Chair
(In hope of helping anyone searching this particular term, I will use the phrase "office chair for heavy person" throughout this writing.)

Office chairs are one of the most critical purchases for every office. The chair provides comfort and support throughout the workday, every day, all year long; or at least it’s supposed to. It should be a safe assumption that everyone has had to endure a poor-quality chair in the past, or perhaps even now. I know that I can think back on a particular chair and my back aches in remembrance at just the thought of it. Some people look at the copy machine scene in the Office Space movie and relate, but for me I would have loved to take a baseball bat to this so-called office chair.
Today, I thought I would highlight a selection of heavy duty office chairs to help pro (Read More)

Boss Office Products brings an intriguing and unexpected new desk chair for 2022. When I say unexpected for professional offices that are widely known primarily for their use of neutral colors, I mean they break the mold! Pink office chairs! Pink office chairs… I had to say it twice because it’s hard to believe. In a world of blacks, whites, and grays, Boss Office Products throws pink into the mix. Pink! A bold move to say the least. A move that I believe many will find appealing in pink office furniture.
Pink office chairs at first glance can be a jarring look in an office setting, but in today’s more personable office setting can fit in the rig (Read More)

Executive chairs just sit different. Pardon my slang, but it’s true. Executive chairs are considered to be high end office furniture that belongs in the big office. However, just because the name is executive chair doesn’t mean that they can only be found in an executive office. Any office can enjoy the upscale design of these desk chairs. So, anyone who needs a more comfortable or more ergonomically designed office chair should consider purchasing one.
One of our partners- Boss Office Products a leader in office furniture, has quite a few exceptional executive chairs available on the Madison Liquidators online marketplace. I picked out six of my personal fav (Read More)

Recently, I shared information on the Office Star Product’s Townsend series of traditional office design desks. We have received a lot of positive feedback concerning this office furniture line. Not only that, there has been an overwhelmingly positive reaction to the traditional office design style. It seems that the Summer of 2023 is seeing a resurgence of the traditional office design; which had previously taken a backseat to more modern and contemporary design styles. In case you missed it, you can catch up with the original Townsend series traditional office design desks by reading the original story here.

Everyday for at least 8 hours you go to work, sit down and don't get up again until it's time to leave. But have you ever given any thought to what you're sitting on?
If you're like most people, the office furniture provided for you by your company is the office furniture you use. Or conversely, if you are the company, you probably purchased the office furniture you need based on price and volume. That means that you may not be getting the most comfortable, ergonomic, or quality office chair.
This could be a problem.

Executive offices require special office furniture, right? What’s the point of being in the big office if you can’t enjoy the benefits? If we take the 1980s yuppie phrase of “work hard, play harder” then we can assume that we should reward ourselves for making it to the top of the business. Okay, so that tongue in cheek spill was my attempt at humor, but the underlying message is true. Executive office furniture is built to higher standards than regular office furniture with the executive in mind.
Let’s take executive office chairs for example. You will find larger office chairs with more comfort considerations built in, and more luxury ma (Read More)

When it comes to furnishing new conference room office furniture, the room is not complete without the conference room chairs. These key aspects of the puzzle are often overlooked or forgotten completely with on-hand used office chairs or uncomfortable folding chairs in rare circumstances. However, there are some tradeoffs that come with such a decision.
First and foremost is the potential loss of a professional atmosphere. That is one area that can negatively impact the business. With the conference room being the lifeblood of a busy office, a professional atmosphere is beneficial on many levels. It provides an efficient and productive space to have meetings.

Guest chairs are comforts for those that partner with us in our business endeavors. We don’t want to greet guests to have them sit uncomfortably while in our offices. No, we want good impressions every time our partners enter our offices. Guest chairs can be overlooked in the first impression of the office because of sensory overload, but I assure you that upon second and third visits comfort will be brought to the forefront of their minds.
With this, I would like to look at the range of guests chairs that we have in our inventory for you, and what a wide range it is! We will look at everything from stacking chairs made from mesh to premium leather guest chairs to s (Read More)

I recently took a look at Fresh Reception Desk Ideas for 2023 as an overall look at revitalizing your office space in the new year. While a reception desk is the centerpiece of a waiting room, it is not all the furniture that makes up the space. Another key office furniture need is waiting room seating. Since the waiting room is the first place that guests will see when entering your business, it is important to have attractive, comfortable, and durable office furniture seating for them when they visit. This first impression will go a long way in setting the tone for your office with guests.
With all of this in mind, I am going to provide you with several pieces of waiti (Read More)

We spend on average 12 hours a day sitting and for that reason our natural inclination when we look at office chairs is to prioritize comfort. While there are many great options for a traditional, ergonomic office chair with all of the functionalities, there's no reason why your chair has to look boring.
If you're an artist or naturally creative person, why can't you get everything you need in an office chair for your creative office space? Whether you want a unique office chair, colorful chair options or to add a little shock-and-awe value to your otherwise subdued office environment, here are 10 options that shun the norm and give (Read More)

New inventory comes in just about everyday to the online marketplace of Madison Liquidators. It has been a while since I have done a rundown of the new inventory available, so I will do it now under the premise of furnishing a home office on a budget only from the newest items to come to Madison Liquidators.
First thing I want to do is a traditional desk and chair setup. Since this is a home office on a budget, I will not worry with too many accessories. Working on a budget of around a thousand, and I realize that may seem like a lot of money and trust me it is… but I am looking for professional grade office furniture that is built to last.

Office couches are common in many businesses across the world. They can be found in reception areas, waiting rooms, breakrooms, and executive offices. They are staples anywhere guests need seating. Depending on the business type, perhaps cheaper stackable chairs for a waiting room but selecting a high quality office couch will bring a higher level of a professional look for the office space. Selecting a stylish office couch set in place of cheaper alternatives is a choice that shows customers that their comfort is a priority to you. Office couch, love seat, and club chair seating not only brings a level of comfort, and a stylish look but it can help guests and customers f (Read More)

Personal health has come to the forefront of office workers in the last few years. Of course, the global pandemic has put a greater spotlight on personal health but even before then the office furniture industry had been paying greater attention. The focus of the industry has been on ergonomics.
Ergonomics is defined as the science of fitting a workplace to the user’s needs. Ergonomics aims to increase efficiency and productivity and reduce discomfort. Quite literally ergonomics is designing for people. This focus on personal health has made huge strides into the way people work in an office, and has added to the quality of life for many people.

Are you AI image fatigued yet? We hope not.

Minimalist Definition
What are your first thoughts about minimalism?
Having only a few items? Wearing only black t-shirts?
Or is it more along the lines of being intentional about what you purchase?
According to the well-known 'The Minimalists,' Minimalism is:
"a tool to rid yourself of life's excess in favor of focusing on what's important - so you can find happiness, fulfillment, and freedom."
For those that practice minimalism in their lives, they want to simplify their way of living, truly enjoy what they have and eliminate the stress that comes with owning and acquiring more and more. This may seem like a (Read More)

Hacks to Improve Your Home Office Setup
Before the pandemic, working from home was a luxury that not many were afforded. Since then, it seems like the #1 on a list of desirable job qualities. But being forced to do it unexpectedly had some complications. Many of us went home, setup a computer on a kitchen table or converted our closets into mini workspaces and have been doing it ever since. But is this the best way to work?
According to a Start Standing article with statistics from Stanford Research:
Many Americans lack the facilities...to work effectively from home.
More than 50% are working in a shared room or their bedroom.

A small conference table for an executive office can be a valuable asset to have in place. They provide a small meeting area outside of the normal confines of the conference or board room. Usually, a small round or square conference table can be placed within the executive office without taking up too much space and ruining the design of the office space. They provide the executive with a small informal meeting area within their own office to greet guests, often those VIPs that really help make the business such a success. Since small square or round conference tables are becoming so popular for the executive office, I thought I would highlight a few from the Madison Liqu (Read More)

Sofas, loveseats, and club chairs are some of the most important pieces of office furniture that are used by both staff and guests daily.

We all have that little corner or empty space in our office that could use a little something. Sure, we have the prerequisite sofa and coffee table, but adding something with a little color, texture, or pop of pattern could add some visual contrast and help bring your whole office style together. You need accent furniture.

If you're like most people then a desk, office chair and computer is what you have for a home away from home (work) setup. The place where we spend the most time, see coworkers more than our own families and have most of our meals, is as basic as a 3-piece suit.

One of the most common questions I get from people who know I work from home is how to furnish a home office on a budget, I get it a lot. Since I’ve been in this office furniture game for close to two and a half years now, I feel like I have gotten some insights into this question. I am by no means an interior designer, so please don’t look to me for any home remodeling advice unless you’re open to canary yellow walls throughout.
I understand the desire to do a home office on a budget myself. I mean, I’m not the only person who notices that our hard earned dollars don’t go as far as they used to. It really is a different world than it (Read More)

Architects, engineers, and even artists all have jobs that require long hours of sitting. But one secret they have about being hunched over a desk all day and reducing the impact that has on their bodies is drafting chairs and stools.

What is a drafting chair?
A drafting chair is designed for people who work on high surfaces, such as drafting tables, standing desks, or counters. They are taller than standard office chairs, with seat heights typically ranging from 26 to 34 inches, allowing users to comfortably sit or perch at elevated work surfaces.
Whether you require a high surface to complete your work or not, they are made to be ergon (Read More)

Office Plant Inspiration for Plant Lovers
Houseplants have the ability to improve productivity up to 15% and only 15 minutes of interaction with houseplants reduces stress levels according to Garden Pals.
Whether or not you have a green thumb, there are numerable positives to bringing the outdoors indoors. One way that people increasingly do this is with office plants. You may already consider yourself a "plant parent" at home but the benefits you get from having houseplants can just as easily translate into your office work environment.

I’d like to continue our look into white office furniture. Our previous look was at white reception desk ideas which affects the front office the most. This time I want to look at white conference tables. From the front office to the inner circle of most office settings.
According to Office.Furniture white is “a symbol of innocence, wholesomeness, and completion” and “conveys a lot of ideals about trustworthiness, honesty, and home.” In effect white is a go to color for an office that wants to project cleanliness, style, and substance. With this in mind, we will be looking at four white conference table ideas. But one does not simply selec (Read More)

Madison Liquidators adds cubicle desks from Office Star Products. With international shipping delays, and other inventory shortages that have plagued the last couple years, Madison Liquidators has added a new office cubicle desk system to its fresh 2023 lineup from partner Office Star Products (OSP).
Office furniture has been in short demand since the onset of the global pandemic. Supply chain issues have arisen over and over again, and no office furniture has felt the squeeze more than office cubicle desks. There have been times where office cubicle desk systems haven’t been available at all on the marketplace of Madison Liquidators, but OSP has answered the cal (Read More)

Do you remember when you were a kid and the worst punishment you could get was being grounded? You would be in your room, looking longingly out of the upstairs window while your friends rode bikes or played tackle football.
If you were really lucky, it didn't last more than a day.
But why was that the worst form of punishment? Maybe it's because humans need outdoors and fresh air just as much as we need food and shelter. The multitude of ways that science has uncovered (and is still uncovering) how the outdoors improves our mood and overall well-being cannot be overstated.
For example, the American Psychological Association states that chi (Read More)

I always get a lot of comments and questions about the price of our commercial office furniture. Some people are convinced that since they have seen a similar model in a retail store somewhere that we are gouging our prices. From time to time on our social media, we will get a comment such as “your prices are too high” so I thought I would address these concerns directly. Hopefully by the end of this, you will have a better understanding between the products sold in retail stores, residential home stores and those found on the online marketplace of Madison Liquidators.

Returning to my obsession with white office furniture for this year, I thought that I would take a look at white desks this time but with a twist. I’ll share that twist a little later but before I do, I want to set the tone by looking first at a fantastic example of everything great about a white desk. Before we begin, I want to highlight what to expect from these white desks.

You may be seeing black and white everywhere, as it seems to be a trending interior color palette, but black and white has made the rounds in interior design in many iterations throughout the past.

This classic duo offers endless possibilities for creating a dedicated home office that is both sophisticated and functional.

I do all my writing in my home office, and I recently realized that I don’t talk enough about office furniture selections for a space like this. Many of us began working from a dedicated space in our homes around the time of the onset of Covid-19 and have stayed there ever since. In a place such as this, a lot of times the work area is small because we just don’t have all that much square footage to give up for a home office. So, over the next few months, I will be looking at office furniture that will fit in small places inside a home office or even that professional business that doesn’t have much workspace.

The pedestal desk. It’s the oldest and most widely used desk shape in all of human history. There’s not much thought that needs to be put into it right? I mean a desk that has been used for centuries must be easy to pick because they are traditional pieces of office furniture that can’t be improved upon, or can it? That’s a great question, Madison Liquidators have excellent pedestal desks that are very traditional in their appearance such as this pedestal desk shell.

Conference rooms are important, in fact in a lot of offices they are the heart of the entire operation. It’s where daily staff meetings take place, or the all-important big meetings with clients, or safety meetings. They are even where close offices have employee birthday parties and so much more. It’s hard to put a value that a conference room has on a business. Whether big or small, the conference room has extreme value to each office. While a large office has the freedom to select almost any conference table on the market and it will fit. A small office must be more strategic.

The Importance of Office End Tables
Imagine that you just started your business. You're growing, expanding, and ready to open a dedicated space, but you need the right furniture. Desks, office chairs, storage hutches, or file cabinets, are all a given.
If you have a waiting room area, an office couch and guest chairs are also must-haves. But an often time overlooked piece of essential furniture is office side tables. Why are they overlooked? It may have something to do with not being seen as necessary or essential.
In your office, you need to get work done and somewhere to sit. So a desk and chair is a no-brainer. But when furnishing the reception area or office lo (Read More)

Over 66% of households own a pet according to the American Pet Products Association, with Millennials taking the largest share of pet ownership at 33%. Compare that to Team Stage data which states that millennials make up 35% (or 1/3) of the current workforce, which means that a good portion of the workforce probably consider themselves to be pet parents.
Since the pandemic, a lot of the benefits of home pet ownership have come to light, and for the workplace the same applies. A few different studies have explored what kind of effect having an office pet (or a few) has had on workers, with a multitude of positive results. Here are the 3 most surprising ins (Read More)

As I have covered conference tables from our inventory, I will often throw in a bonus of a fresh/trendy new design. However, after looking at them again I dare say that they are no longer a trend but a modern office furniture choice that is here to stay. I am talking about standing conference tables. What did I say? STANDING conference tables. (Perhaps I should put it in bold…)
Yes, standing office furniture is making a huge push in the market these days and as 2023 rolls around, I do not see them slacking off at all. This move towards a more active office work lifestyle comes to the conference room which is the natural next progression from the personal sit stand des (Read More)

Movies like office space got us all commenting, out loud, about how ridiculous work culture is and especially cubicle mazes. The great office layout savior, open offices, came around and were supposed to boost productivity and collaboration. Instead, it made us long for the days of privacy. Now, workplaces are undergoing design changes again with activity-based working.
Knowing which is the best way to work can be confusing, as pros and cons to all options are endless. Below are some stats that might challenge what you know (and feel) about the major office layouts and ultimately, help you make informed decisions when designing your office.

I was talking to management about my latest release Small Conference Tables for a Small Business or Executives Office when a larger conversation about conference tables broke out. I know that may seem weird to some people but you would be surprised just how much we talk about random office furniture not just during the 9 to 5, but seven days a week! Upon further reflection, I can see why there are so many cop and doctor dramas on television. Can you imagine a The Office type television show that revolves around office furniture instead of paper? Oh my goodness… million dollar idea!

Since joining Madison Liquidators in January of 2021, I have researched and written about just about every office furniture piece or setting you can think of. I have taken real life situations and relayed them into text for the benefit of an office furniture consumer.
