Investing in an office furniture set offer several benefits that contribute to a more productive and comfortable work environment. Firstly, one of the key advantages is the cohesive and professional aesthetic that a matching furniture set provides. Consistent design elements across desks, chairs, cabinets, and other pieces create a visually appealing workspace that reflects organizational unity and attention to detail. This not only enhances the overall ambiance of the office but also communicates a sense of order and coherence to clients, employees, and visitors. Secondly, purchasing an office furniture set can lead to cost savings. Buying office furniture as a set ofte (Read More)

There’s always new office furniture being uploaded to the marketplace of Madison Liquidators. Several times a week I browse the new inventory section of the site to try to keep up with the latest onboardings so that I can stay abreast of the newest office furniture trends and styles. Over the past few weeks, I have noticed that there are quite a bit L shaped reception desks that have been added to our little corner market of the world wide web. Being a huge fan of the L shaped desk any way, I immediately gravitated toward these designs. I can see it in my minds eye now, just how attractive and functional these L shaped reception desks can be in the front office of (Read More)

A large office allows for a large desk. In most cases a large desk is a much needed tool to work with on a daily basis. U shaped desks are the largest desks in office furniture. They provide three sides of workspace around the user. At its most basic, this means that the user can multitask on a minimum of three projects each separated by the three individual desktops. However, the office furniture is not just limited in that respect. The U shaped desk opens the door for so much more! This configuration allows for the most storage of all desks in commercial office furniture. The versatility of the U shaped desk cannot be understated. Also, sometimes we just want a large (Read More)

After reviewing standing office furniture for the past week or so, I thought I would look into this style in the most popular office desk around today- the L shaped desk. L shaped desks are always “flying off the shelf” at Madison Liquidators and for good reason. They provide an upgraded workstation compared to a traditional rectangular desk. They give the worker double the desktop workspace versus a traditional shaped desk. This extra workspace pays dividends for project management and desktop organization. I personally work from an L shaped desk and do so because I was allowed to pick out my own desk, so I like so many others went with L shaped office furnit (Read More)

Small businesses often see growing pains. With every fresh start up that sees success there is the inevitable limitations and struggles that accompanies that triumph. Sometimes these restrictions are expanding beyond the original clientele. With increased revenue and clients comes a need to present the office in a more professional manor. One of the most important spaces to upgrade as far as clients and vendors are concerned is the conference room. The conference room is where guests will spend the most time discussing the details of your successful business. The conference table is where all the business will be discussed, therefore this piece of office furniture shou (Read More)

This is my regular reminder that sit stand desks exist and improve the health of the office worker. I was talking with a friend who is an office worker from home the other day and she was complaining about how sitting down so much has made her seek out the aid of a chiropractor about once a quarter. This immediately got me championing sit stand desks as a healthy alternative that can give her much needed movement daily while still remaining just as productive. She said she had heard of them but thought they were more of a novelty than an actual fundamental change that I view them as. --subscription-box-- After a few minutes of me sending her links to great sit stand des (Read More)

The modern office design is increasingly popular in offices across North America these days. One of the main reasons is the design fits so well in the open office concept. From its minimalist layout to the sleek lines, and bold colors there’s just something about an office that is wide open, bathed in natural light that just naturally creates an inclusive and cooperative office. To borrow the words of Forest Gump- modern office design and open office concept “go together like peas and carrots.” When starting a modern office design, it is best to start with the centerpiece of the office, which is the desk. The most popular desk style today is the (Read More)

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. Today I will begin this series with the o (Read More)

A small office can be challenging to furnish. Multiple issues arise when you begin the process of doing so. The most obvious is limited space with the conventional wisdom calling for small office furniture. However, this is often flawed due to the type of work that we do in our offices. Small desks just don’t allow us to perform the work that we are required to do daily. So, what do we do? From my own personal experience in a small office in my home, I was able to find a fantastic desk that fit the requirements of my daily duties exceptionally well. How did I do this? When I arrived in Madison for my initial training, I sat down with the skilled co-workers who are (Read More)

A larger office typically has a reception area to match. It just makes sense; a larger office has a higher potential for guests being in the office. A busy office will need ample reception space to maintain the flow of traffic into the office. To accomplish this, a reception area needs a reception desk to handle this traffic. With a larger space an opportunity presents itself. A large reception desk! The potential can be huge. This could be a large two-person receptionist desk or a single seat piece of office furniture. There are near endless possibilities. With that in mind, I have compiled a selection of unique office furniture options to fit in a large reception are (Read More)

A small conference table can be an intimate meeting space. For some startups they can be the primary conference meeting space. For more established or larger offices, they can be a great addition to an executive office. When I think small conference table, I think of an office furniture piece that seats four people comfortably and not take up much office square footage. For me, that’s a round conference table. --subscription-box-- A round conference table is perfect for any office that needs a meeting area in a confined space. For that startup I spoke of earlier, it could be the central hub of the entire office. Everything from staff meetings, to client meetings, (Read More)

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. I do this in hope of giving someone some insight into their next office furniture purchase… that, and that’s what Madison Liquidators pays me to do. So today, I thought I would do more of the same. In a previous job, I worked for a national construction recruiting business. They have offices in most major cities, and when I started, they were reopening an office in Birmingham, Alabama. The 2008 (Read More)

I’d like to wager a bet. In your office you know two co-workers who work so closely together that the joke is that they are attached at the hip. Every office has them, so it’s a pretty safe bet. These co-workers are often referred to as “work husbands or wives.” To be honest, their work usually makes the office “go.” The boss puts them on a job and it will be done. No doubt. Today, I thought I would highlight office furniture for those office archetypes. Two person desks for those co-workers who do everything together. A two person workstation can be utilized for a lot of reasons in an office. Sometimes it’s a space saving meas (Read More)

Office chairs have a direct impact on how office work is performed throughout the day. Ergonomics influence how the body responds to prolonged sitting, and chairs that fail to provide proper support often lead to fatigue and, over time, long-term discomfort or health issues. These daily aches and pains don’t just affect individual employees—they can reduce productivity, increase downtime, and create measurable impacts at the business level. Choosing office chairs to address these challenges is rarely a simple click-and-purchase decision. Comfort is subjective, and there is no single chair that works equally well for every user. Differences in body type, p (Read More)

Is space limited? For a lot of businesses it is a part of the growing pains that comes with a successful office. For many offices drastic measures must be taken. Cubicles have been the trusted go to in these cases for decades. They were chosen due to the extreme flexibility that cubicles offer. However, there are serious limitations with the standard cubicle system. Some of the main limitations were that they completely divide the workforce, they are often cramped spaces that do not serve the full needs of the employees, and cubicle farms stunts office growth. Other smart options are two person desks. These systems provide open spaces that promotes inclusion. Two perso (Read More)

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)

Four people seems to be the perfect group size. The Beatles, the Fantastic Four, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Seinfeld cast, South Park, and the Four Horsemen (the wrestling stable, not the apocalyptic version) are the cream of the crop of foursomes. But what about the office world? Doesn’t it seem like most businesses have that definitive foursome that works well together? Absolutely! But how can we take this foursome to the next level? For the remainder of this blog, I will reference my favorite quartet of all time- The Golden Girls. One of our brand partners, Corp Design has released to us the Veloce Series that features several four person workstation (Read More)

As we near the start of the new year, it’s time for resolutions and commitments to reinvigorate our lives. Whether it’s a commitment to diet and exercise, financial goals, or relationship building the idea of a fresh start is appealing to so many of us. How about we take that positive energy and direct it to a professional renewal? I’m thinking a new reception area would be a great place to start. As I have been working over the past few weeks, I keep coming back to reception desks. I am drawn to the L shaped models. To me, I want my receptionist to have plenty of workspace with ample storage in a workstation that is clean and professional, after all (Read More)

As a gamer, I often get caught looking at the gaming side of our office furniture. I’ll get distracted from my task anytime a gaming desk or chair comes across my feed. For years my gaming set up was a retail store desk that was cheap in price and just as cheap in quality. Honestly, it needed replacing after six months but with some redneck engineering and a whole lot of duct tape, I made it last for years. Not that I was proud of it or anything. In fact, my gaming set up was somewhat of an embarrassment anytime someone came over. You see, we grew up with gaming but many of us didn’t allow gaming grow up with us. We still cling to subpar gaming setups fil (Read More)

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)

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. No matter how you feel about it currently, the timeless elegance of black and white has always been a pillar for simple and classic interiors. This classic duo offers endless possibilities for creating a dedicated home office that is both sophisticated and functional. The strongest cases for the color black, white, or both in a home office space tend to come from principles of minimalist home office design. Yet, this stylish combo is meant to help emphasize color through (Read More)

Back in February I shared a blog post about Small Reception Desks for Growing offices in 2023. I just wanted to take a moment to touch on that subject again because of the response that writing received. Small reception desks are extremely popular this year, so I thought I would speak more on the subject. As I have previously stated, there are many reasons to select a small reception desk but largest factor is usually reception area square footage… or lack thereof.   Businesses are limited in their layout by the overall space that they have, and while many of us would love a large and comfortable receiving area for guests, tough decisions usually pre (Read More)

I can see it now, drab cubicle walls for as far as the eye can see. Boring colors and closed off multi-person workstations. Never ending colorless nondescript cubicles for a mass of inmates, I say that because it resembles a prison more than an office. Zero inspiration except for a motivational poster for nonexistent office morale. “Hang in there” says the little kitten desperately clinging to a tree branch. Hang in there indeed, you’re only here for the rest of your professional life. I’m talking to you Employee #464552! You used to have a name, but you can’t remember it any more. You’ve been industrialized into the ever moving (Read More)

Small offices are a part of the growing pains of a business. I’ve unofficially been compiling looks at small office furniture for businesses and home offices that have limited space. Today, I want to look at the reception/waiting area of an office. Small reception areas are sometimes just a fact of the business life. Even larger buildings can have very small square footage dedicated to this area. So I thought I would highlight a few excellent small reception desks that are going to be top sellers in 2023. We will look at a few examples to get you started. When searching for “small reception desks” on the Madison Liquidators online marketplace, you wil (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)

For most people an L-Shaped Desk is an ideal amount of space for paperwork, monitors, a laptop and other desk accessories. Because of this businesses frequently use L-Shaped desks to create desk pods or groups of workstations which can be put together to create a large U or T shape with two desks or a Plus shape with a pod of four desks.

Corner desks are a mainstay in both commercial offices and home offices across the country. A lot of times, we take a versatile L shaped desk and place it in a corner and call it a “corner desk.” There is nothing wrong with this, however manufacturers have designed corner specific desk to be placed in such a manner. Sometimes, another style desk will not be a perfect fit. With this in mind, here are five corner desks for 2022. Corner Desk with Locking Drawers Starting Price- [price-391] Express Office Furniture’s Express Laminate series offers this beautiful example of a corner desk.

Setting up an office workspace often involves more than selecting a desk. Storage, layout, and overall design all need to work together, and sourcing each piece individually can quickly become a time-consuming process. What starts as a simple purchase often turns into a series of decisions that affect how the space functions day to day. Without a clear plan, it’s easy to end up with mismatched components or inefficient layouts. Desks, returns, and storage pieces may not align in size or finish, creating inconsistencies that affect both appearance and usability. Over time, these small issues can disrupt workflow and require adjustments that could have been avoid (Read More)

Office style is important. It creates the atmosphere of the entire office. A good office design is a single cohesive statement from the front door to the boss’ office.

The following is examples of some great reception desks to spark a new style in your office. Groupe Lacass (Read More)

Standing desks are a relatively new concept however are taking modern office environments by storm. Most people know little to nothing about standing desks or even if they would be comfortable working at them. As a convert to standing desks I can tell you first hand, switching from sitting all day to having a workstation that you can sit or stand at is ideal. If you work 40+ hours at a desk, pushing paper, clicking or typing and have any sort of muscle pain, inflammation or are over-weight, considering switching to a height adjustable desk should be a serious consideration. A desk that you can sit or stand at can improve your health and also lead to reduced muscle pain a (Read More)

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)
