Recently I was given the chance to select a new office chair for my home office. I am an employee of Madison Liquidators that works remotely from home. I spent a week in the office back in June and while there I had the opportunity to try out several office chairs to make an educated decision. After a week of trying out several different chairs, I made my selection; I chose the Via Seating Genie.
Being a heavier set guy, I knew that I would want a heavy duty office chair. Madison Liquidators has a great selection of office chairs especially heavy duty options. As I tried each option, I wanted to select the one that was the best fit for me. Most of the chairs that I tri (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)

Grouping co-workers together in collaborative workstations is one of the most effective office layouts utilized across the country today. To accomplish this office furniture is usually pushed together such as a series of desks or cubicle farms pop up around the office. However, there are better ways to promote inclusion and teamwork in the office. There are manufactured workstations that both are attractive and functional four person desks to promote teamwork.

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 desk (Read More)

Modern offices are moving away from traditional cubicles more and more each year. The meteoric rise of open office workstations in the last decade has made manufacturers focus on desk pods. Over the last few years, they have brought fresh, and trendy designs to the market for their customers. These designs are extremely popular at Madison Liquidators. Today, I thought I would show several examples of four person workstations that are excellent alternatives to cubicle systems.
The primary question is how do they differ from cubicles? Mainly, cubicles partition co-workers off from one another, while open office workstations place co-workers together in joined office furn (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.
L shaped desks come in a variety of styles, sizes and finishes but by far the most popular for create multiple person workstations is with the Laminate lines by Express Office Furniture and Harmony which are not only affordable but can be customized and upgraded which additional storage and acrylic or fabric privacy panels to offer priva (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)

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)

This reception area office furniture can establish the attitude of the office from the front door with that first impression upon the initial entry into your office space.

Placing workers together in workstations is en vogue today. In times past it was done out of necessity for space saving measures. Now however, open office workstations are selected for the benefits of placing co-workers together to increase production, promote collaboration and office comradery. Occasionally, they are chosen for the space saving measures as well., but the majority of the time an open office workstation is selected for the purposes previously stated.
Open office workstations are the modern twist on a cubicle farm. You know what I mean, a city of closed off small workstations that were selected due to their space saving capabilities. When thinking of a c (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!

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 furniture.

With so many options out there, we are providing a sample of some of the top collaborative workstations available today. This list is a great place to begin a search for this type of office furniture. (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. From time to time it is important to freshen up the office to keep up with the design styles of the time. With this in mind, a facelift in key locations of the office could provide a great new ambience that will change the perception of everyone who walks in the door. The most logical place to start is in the reception area. A new reception desk will set the tone for the rest of the office.
The following is examples of some great reception desks to spark a new style in your office.

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)

Making a good first impression on customers and clients is tantamount to operating a successful growing business.

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.

Storage furniture is a particularly vital component of a fully functioning professional office. However, office storage furniture is often one of the most forgotten aspects of office furniture when furnishing an office. This is a truth that often puts an office in a bind once it is realized that the storage furniture on hand isn’t enough. This bind can negatively affect an office through lack of organization.
With that in mind, we have decided to highlight a few commonly purchased storage furniture solutions for the office. These selections were carefully chosen for their storage ability, and knack for completing an office. Everything from bookcases to credenzas (Read More)

Space, like Time, is Money
Offices are supposed to be productive workplaces and, while a little bit of chatting can allow for teamwork, share the workload and brighten up your day, at times there just is not enough focus in the workplace. So, what can be done to help this? Space, like time, is money. And, as such, many businesses cannot afford more office space. This is where a different office set up may help. Desk Pods are a way of creating collaborative workspace but also allowing screening and privacy so that workers can work more productively.

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 tables to an NFL team! (Read More)

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)

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)

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)

Minimalist Definition
What are your first thoughts about minimalism?

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)

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.
