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)

In many offices, the contrast between a standard workspace and a management office is immediately noticeable. It goes beyond square footage—how the space is arranged, how it functions, and the presence it establishes for those who enter all contribute to that distinction. There is a clear shift from a purely functional workspace to one that reflects decision-making and authority. Spaces dedicated to leadership tend to be more deliberate. Layout, materials, and furniture choices work together to create a sense of structure and clarity. Even small details, such as how an executive desk is positioned or how much surface space it commands, influence how the room is (Read More)

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)

Office furniture design trends change every year and with that we have seen some seemingly unstoppable products of 2022 be replaced by the new front-runners of 2023.

If you follow my writing then you know that I have been a little more than heavy-handed in highlighting modern office design lately. I absolutely love it and often find inspiration within that medium. However, today, I wanted to break the cycle and go completely against the grain and touch on a traditional office design. While several of our partners have some great traditional office design elements, I will be focusing in on just one brand partner and only one of their office furniture series. That partner we will be discussing is Office Star Products and their Townsend series of traditional office designed office furniture. Before we get into it, let’s look at (Read More)

Madison Liquidators has grown a lot since I first started back in January of 2021. To me, it’s a little wild how far we have come since then. Before I get into anything, I don’t want you to think this is going to be some braggadocious article that I threw together. This isn’t an arrogant, boastful fluff piece to stroke mine or anyone’s ego. More or less, this is to tell you how proud I am to be a part of the growth that we have seen, and I will tell you why in just a second. But first, since I have been with Madison Liquidators, we have sold office furniture to some of the biggest names in finance, business, and industry. We sold conference ta (Read More)

Storage is often one of the most overlooked needs of an office. We design and build our complete office thinking it’s perfect only to find that the two or three pedestal drawers on our desks aren’t near enough storage space. To prevent this, many desk manufacturers build extra storage into their desk models. A U shaped desk can provide unmatched storage options versus smaller desk shapes. With this in mind, I have compiled a list of six different U shaped desks that provide extreme levels of storage. While this list highlights a few models, there are many more U shaped desks with storage to choose from in our inventory. If this list gets you started down th (Read More)

Standing and adjustable height desks have long been an office furniture staple but now even more so with the increased understanding of the supposed benefits of standing, rather than sitting, for long periods.

Looking at today’s office trends we see that open and bright are extremely popular design motifs that are being utilized more and more. Offices with the space to stretch out are moving away from the boxed in cubicle lifestyle that has dominated the office jungle for decades. In place of cubicle cities, many office workers find themselves in desks that are not only attractive but can often times be considered works of art compared to what many of them started their careers out using. With that in mind, I thought today that I would highlight a few of our newer modern L shaped desk designs for a vibrant office. The L shaped desk is quickly becoming the default desk sh (Read More)

Stretching your legs, rearranging your seat, arching your back, or resting your arms on the table are all ways we try to conform our bodies to sit in one spot for eight hours a day, five (or more) days a week. But no matter what we do, our bodies continue to tell us that sitting for that long without the proper support is not going to cut it. While information on beneficial exercises and stretches to do on your break, suggestions on how often you should get up and take a walk, and the benefits of a standing desk are well-touted, office chairs remain among the most elementary and essential pieces of office furniture. This means we owe ourselves and our health to seek the (Read More)

When thinking about office furniture, decorations are often a low priority. With so many other more pressing matters such as desks, conference tables, chairs, break room furniture, and storage just to name a few; it’s easy to put decorations on the back burner. However, an office isn’t complete if it is a sterile work environment with no character. Interior design is an important aspect of the office work environment. Studies have been conducted by countless organizations and the consensus is that a well designed office promotes productivity, morale, builds client confidence, and enhances the branding of the business. In simpler terms, a well-designed offic (Read More)

Post pandemic many jobs are homebased. It is an excellent alternative to the daily commute and the stress that comes with it. Let’s be honest, who doesn’t love working in their underwear without the worry of being reported to human resources? Moving on… I work from home, and have done so for two years now. I cannot put into words how much I truly enjoy it. Quality of life has improved. No more waking up two hours before work to get ready and drive. No more scraping frost off my windshield. But more than that, being a homebody… I just enjoy being in my own home! A lot of us have had to make this choice, some out of necessity from the pandemic. N (Read More)

It’s the Holiday Season once again. Most of us envision quality time with family and exchanging gifts. However, in the business world, it can be the perfect timing for year-end improvements. Several factors go into this timing, such as the year-end budget often has some wiggle room for improvements. Perhaps the holidays are a time when office morale is lowest and could use a boost. After all, giftable workspace upgrades make great gifts to the workforce. Items that improve the daily work experience will be appreciated, which is why I thought we could look at some immediately shippable items for holiday workspace upgrades that will be much appreciated by the workfor (Read More)

Over the past few days, I have been looking at the many awesome reception desks that we carry through our partners here at Madison Liquidators. Every time I start to talk about reception desks, I always make a note up front that this just may be the most important piece of office furniture in the entire office. As I have said multiple times and will continue to speak every chance I get, the reception desk sits in the first area of your office that guests enter, and that it is the first major office furniture piece that they will see. If you want your office to have a positive first impression, then whatever your clients and guest first lay their eyes upon better be a h (Read More)

Creating an environment where two people can work together at a T shaped desk for collaboration doesn’t have to be complicated and simply put, by placing two L shaped desks together, you can create a T shape. Desks like this are great for team members and partners who work side-by-side frequently on projects and day to day tasks. T shape desks can be installed into home offices or businesses and can include privacy panels to create a sense of personal space while still being in close proximity with your co-worker. Other accessories with your desk set can include drawers for storage, keyboard trays, hutch with task lights and tack boards, and other furniture pieces (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.

As I was researching my last blog, “A Guide to Finding the Right L-Shaped Desk for a Small Office” I kept coming back to the idea of my own L shaped desk in my home office. The more I studied and compiled data for the other blog, I also found myself setting aside inventory for ideas for corner desks and L shaped desks for a home office. It got to the point to where I had to decide to create a completely separate blog to highlight the idea of these pieces of office furniture for a home office. So, with that in mind we will look at Corner desks and L shaped desks for the home office. First, let’s look at the distinction between the two because they most (Read More)

Let’s get right to the point: the office desk is one of the most important pieces of furniture in any workspace. Selecting the right desk involves more than appearance. The desk you work at every day influences productivity, organization, and long-term comfort. A poorly chosen desk can limit workspace efficiency and create unnecessary obstacles for daily tasks. Finding the right option begins with understanding the needs of your workspace. Factors such as available space, daily workflow, storage requirements, and ergonomic considerations should all influence your decision. Office desks are available in a wide range of styles and configurations, from compact hom (Read More)

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)

It seems like I am always talking about the size of office furniture. We are locked in a search for specific office furniture pieces that fits their needs. This is especially true with our need for office desks. While I could give generalizations such as an executive always needs a large desk to fill out the bigger office, or a startup needs smaller desks to conserve space. It’s not my place to assume why you need a particular size. Writing about office furniture as much as I do, makes me tend to create the situation why you would need a particular sized desk. So today, instead, I want to do something a little different. I want to show you the wide range of small d (Read More)

Today I thought I would continue our look at office furniture for tight spaces with what is probably going to be the most popular type in the series with small L shaped desks. When square footage is limited, we need the most out of the office furniture that we can find for the space. If you’re like me, you’ve been squeezed into a small shared office with a co-worker because the business just doesn’t have enough room for a full office for everyone. In my case, my roommate and I were still able to squeeze in a small L shaped desk each. This office furniture eased the strain of the limited work room between us by providing us with a workstation that gave us (Read More)

A T shaped desk for two is an innovative way to organize the staff in an office. Sometimes these dual desks are chosen for space saving measures as an alternative to cubicle walled workstations. A T shaped desk for two provides many benefits that a cubicle setup just cannot. They do not close off substantial portions of office space that a traditional modular office measure would. They open the space and naturally promotes inclusion and cooperation. In an office where the staff works closely, a T shaped desk for two creates a workstation of teamwork to take work to the next level. At Madison Liquidators, these T shaped desks for two are some of the top office furniture (Read More)

At some point in our lives, we may all have the opportunity (for good or bad) to visit a law office. And if you're a new lawyer opening your own practice for the first time, it's important to give an impression that conveys professionalism and strength. That's why the design, layout, and even style of your office furniture can have a huge impact on how not only potential clients but also competitors see you. In this article, we're going to highlight a few pieces of commercial office furniture that we believe are some of the best options, even essential, for law offices and legal professionals.

I love this time of year! High school and college football has kicked off while the NFL is starting this week. In theory, the temperatures are going to be dropping; perhaps in some parts of the country they actually have. The leaves are turning, pumpkin spice lattes are on the menu, and as of today we aren’t supposed to wear white… It may be the rebel in me but I love white and will continue to wear it often. According to the Farmer’s Almanac wearing white after Labor Day is a faux pas because “In the early 1900s, those who were well-to-do often favored lightweight, bright clothing—white linen suits and breezy dresses. Wearing white after (Read More)

A great option for a small or growing business in lieu of a conference room is a bow front desk for the office. If you are meeting a small number of people, the bow front desk works as a de facto conference table. Designed specifically for the purpose of meeting guests in your own office, it allows you to function as a full-sized business in limited office space. Several years ago, I worked for a small but successful land surveying company. The boss had a bow front desk in his office, and it functioned exactly this way. If we had to have a party chief meeting, it was done across his bow front desk. If we met with clients, it was done there. Also, on those rain days whe (Read More)

Versatility with the office furniture can be a bonus for a growing office. Take the L shaped desk for example. If we purchase one for the space we are in now, wouldn’t it be great if it fit the next office space we put it in even if the configuration of the desk is required to be different? I know it’s a luxury to be able to think that far ahead but with most L shaped desks, you don’t have to worry they are naturally reversible. While some L shaped desks are designed for a very specific layout, most are designed to be reversible to fit any office space. Today, I want to draw your attention to the benefit of purchasing a reversible L shaped desk so tha (Read More)

Around my household, we have just begun looking at back to school shopping for the fall. I know in parts of the country it is way too soon for this but where I live in Alabama, August 9th is the first day back to school for our kids. So it is just around the corner for us, and we are running out of summertime. Soon it will be back to business for our children. With that in mind, I thought I would look at some small computer desks for back to school 2023.

Not only that, but for dorm rooms with limited a space needs practical solutio (Read More)

Introduction There is approximately 1 billion square feet of vacant office space, according to the Site Selection Group. While that may seem like a promising prospect for commercial real estate investors, it makes no difference to you and me.

Hopefully, you've mastered the art of not allowing your small office to feel cluttered but functional.
