"From Backpack Days to Paycheck Days—Lockers Still Belong." In today’s professional world, worker comfort is at the forefront of business design. From standing mats for retail workers to ergonomic furniture for office staff, everything is considered. One of the original worker comforts is lockers Employees have needed a secure place to store personal items for as long as businesses have existed. So, it’s no wonder that one of Madison Liquidators’ top brand partners, Tennsco, offers a wide selection of business lockers available on our online marketplace. Most of us began using lockers in grade school, and many of us have used them ever since. (Read More)

Personal lockers provide much-needed storage and a sense of personal space in today's flexible and shared workplaces. I remember it well: the summer I took my first steps into the “real world” and got a job with one of the largest retail brands during that awkward period after graduating high school. I was completely lost in the brave new world I found myself in, not knowing exactly what I wanted to do with my life or where I was headed next. But that job got me started down my path. Working rotating shifts without a set schedule meant I never knew exactly where I might be going after work. Maybe I would head to the gym, go to a friend's house to play vi (Read More)

When it comes to cleanliness in the home or business, clutter is usually the #1 problem. That’s why having ample storage solutions is so important. If a space has more clutter than storage, it won’t ever be truly clean. This challenge highlights the need for a strong storage solution for every room whether in the home or office. No matter the location, ample storage means a cleaner space. --product-display-box-- We can always go thrifting to find adequate storage but we are subject to the available inventory of the stores we shop. If we did this, then we would potentially have good storage that stands out like a sore thumb on the style end. I am saying this (Read More)

Proper office storage cannot be treated as an afterthought; it is a catalyst for operational efficiency. Strategic workplace planning must account for how materials, tools, and shared resources are organized if teams are expected to perform without friction. When storage is insufficient or poorly positioned, workflow slows and cognitive clarity declines. Clutter is not merely visual noise — it is operational drag. Teams lose measurable time to poorly structured storage systems. Minutes spent searching, retrieving, or relocating materials accumulate into productivity loss. Surface clutter often signals deeper structural inefficiencies in space planning. The plac (Read More)

In meetings with specialists at Madison Liquidators, I had time to compare notes on office cabinets. It’s always interesting to see what another set of eyes will catch and what you may have missed and vise versa. Storage cabinets are often overlooked when doing “big picture” office furniture furnishing but in the end, office cabinet storage always finds a way to the forefront of the minds of everyone in a business environment. So with this writing, we are going to highlight different kinds of storage cabinets that are found on the Madison Liquidators online marketplace. “Our extensive collection of personal storage cabinet options will allow you (Read More)

All of our brands have a wide range of inventory on the Madison Liquidators online marketplace. Today I thought I would prove that by looking at one brand and highlighting a single piece of office furniture from each series that they have available. To do this I am going to look at Harmony Collection and their L shaped desk with storage options. As of this writing Harmony Collection alone has over eighty L shaped desk with storage models across five series of office furniture. So I thought I would give you a look at an example of each series in hopes that it helps you find the L shaped desk with storage you are looking for and also help you to see just how many options th (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)

This one feels a little special to me. As soon as I saw the word “cubby,” I was transported back to Mrs. McConnell’s classroom at Valley Junior High in Jasper, Alabama. I was in third grade, in the simple world of the 1980s, and she was a stickler for organization — equal parts mother and drill instructor. Every day, we were inspected: desks cleaned, supplies neatly arranged, and personal items tucked away in our assigned cubbyhole. That memory reminds me why cubby storage organizers remain such a timeless way to keep life neat and organized. Though it’s been decades, that single word instantly brought her to mind. Third grade was a transf (Read More)

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)

Keeping the office clean and organized can be a chore for if there is not adequate storage. When we talk about keeping the office clean and free of clutter, we often think of waste baskets, but clutter is more than waste. Clutter can be ink pens on the desktop or files stacked on top of a conference table or even books strown about haphazardly. These examples perfectly show the difference between a professional looking office and one that does not have adequate storage cabinet space. Storage cabinets are the unsung heroes of office organization. They provide a place for everything in the office. When things need a place that will not fit in a desk drawer a storage cabi (Read More)

You don't have to be a packrat or hoarder to know that your own office space or cubicle's storage space can very easily become packed full of stuff. Documents, office supplies, and personal memorabilia all seem to fight for enough space on our desks, and whether we like it or not, the stuff is there to stay. That being said, there's no reason why it has to get out of hand. You don't have to sit at a cluttered desk all day shuffling under papers to find your stapler or clear a space for your lunch. There are numerous office storage cabinets, containers, and the like that serve a multitude of functions for a variety of work styles, and all can turn your office chaos into (Read More)

“Secure Storage with FireKing: Protecting What the Cloud Can’t” As a cinephile, I find joy in older movies that stand the test of time. One of my all-time favorites is Fight Club. Spoiler warning—at the end of the film, Project Mayhem blows up the buildings that house credit card companies, erasing everyone’s debt in one dramatic sweep. But in today’s world of cloud-based storage, would that even work? Probably not. Still, not everything can be stored in the cloud. Some things must be protected on-site, and that’s where the trusted FireKing safe storage solutions come in. (Bet you weren’t expecting a Fight Club reference (Read More)

I will make a bold statement: The amount of clutter directly affects one's physical, mental, and emotional organization. Now let's back it up: According to Brother UK, 54% of Americans feel overwhelmed by clutter. (Emotional) Meanwhile, the National Association of Professional Organizers says employees waste about four hours per week looking for papers. (Physical) And Crowdspring reports that since the brain responds to order, people have difficulty being productive when there is too much visual stimulation. (Mental) These startling statistics prove an important point: Our spaces profoundly affect us in some of the most critical areas of our lives. (Read More)

Storage is always a priority around the office. I like to say there are two types of office workers. 1- the person with a nice and neat desktop but has a mess in their desk drawers and 2- the person whose desktop is a mess but their drawers are in immaculate order. There is no in-between… or if someone is actually able to pull both off, they are very sketchy… a suspect even!!! However, additional storage can help alleviate some of these organizational issues. But what comes with a standalone storage unit is the need for privacy so that you can ensure that everything that you place in there stays in there. With that in mind, I thought I would look at some (Read More)

Desks with Cabinets Chances are that if you've worked in a shared office space with cubicles, then you've had the typical office desk and file cabinet. If you could upgrade to your own private office or home office, then maybe you've copied the same setup (minus cubicle walls). Or, if you've done any exploring in order to get the best office furniture for your space, then you may have come across computer desks with storage. --subscription-box-- What is a computer desk with storage? A computer desk with storage is a specific type of desk designed to accommodate both your computer equipment and provide organizational solutions for office supplies, accessor (Read More)

Today I want to look at a new desk from our brand-new partners, Office Star Products. But beyond that, I want to take you through the different levels that this desk has. Because this model has a starting point then it begins to upgrade. Now for a lot of us the starting “base” model is where we would stop to find a perfect workstation for ourselves, but sometimes more desk or storage is needed. So let’s take a journey together through this one office desk design. Let’s start with the standard before looking at upgrades. L Shaped Desk with Drawers   Starting Price- [Price-21248]   This is an L shaped desk from the Lod (Read More)

Today, as I sit down to write this, I am inspired by one of our brand partners. I’ve been researching modern office design for several days, and I have come to the conclusion that if I were to have the opportunity to furnish a modern office, I would do it with Groupe Lacasse. I would like to lead you through the rabbit hole so to speak and look at all phases of a modern office design with this trustworthy brand. We can look at this through the perspective of furnishing a modern office together. Before we begin, here is some information about this brand partner. “Groupe Lacasse’s mission is to offer high-quality products and complete furniture solution (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)

So, you’re in need of a big desk? Madison Liquidators can help. We have a fantastic selection of U shaped desks with hutches. These office furniture selections not only does the U shaped design provide three large desktop work areas, but the added hutch also provides a high level of storage space is a game changer for a highly productive office worker. One of the biggest considerations to make for a U shaped desk with hutch is that it takes up a large amount of square footage compared to other office furniture options. Another note is that the hutch needs to be set against an office wall for stability so placement in the office will need attention prior to purchase (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)

When creating your office space, getting all of the furniture pieces you need to bring your vision to life and to make your workspace work for you can be a chore.

What separates an executive office from every other office in the building? The executive office stands apart from the rest of the workspace. It's often romanticized as the big corner office—the office with the best view, the largest desk, and the quiet confidence that suggests someone has finally "made it.” It's an image that has shaped how executive offices are perceived for generations. For those who actually use them, they must be more than romance and position; they must be functional. An executive office earns its reputation not because it's larger than every other office, but because it's expected to accomplish far more. Throughout the day, it ser (Read More)

Office collaboration is important. Increasingly offices are moving to a more open and inclusive office layout. Traditional cubicle layouts are being phased out in favor of opening up the workspace in favor of open spaces that feature increased natural lighting brought on by the elimination of huge light blocking partitioned walls.

With so many options out there, we are providing a sample of some of the top collaborative workstations available today.

The holiday season is a magical time! It’s where friends and family come together to celebrate life and love. A chance to remember lost loved ones and rejoice in making it to another year on this Earth. It’s a time of reflection, hope, forgiveness, and renewed optimism.

This year is no different; these past months may have been long with boom and bust moments but suddenly, Q1 of 202 (Read More)

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)

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)

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)

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)

What is an Office Credenza? The term "office credenza" refers to a low, wide cabinet used in offices. Office credenzas in particular, bring extra storage and sometimes desktop space to home offices and businesses. Credenza Desks A credenza desk is a type of office furniture that combines the functionality of a credenza with the work surface of a desk. It typically has a work surface that is the same height as the main desk. Credenza desks are often used in an executive office, where they provide a place to store files, paperwork, and other office supplies. They can also be used in home offices, where they can provide a functional and stylish workspace. Credenza d (Read More)

Height adjustment no longer has to mean giving up the scale, storage, or presence expected from an executive desk. The executive workday is not static. An executive office must support a wide range of responsibilities throughout a single day. Changing priorities can have the executive shifting between computer work, meetings, taking a call, reviewing documents, and group planning. These changing responsibilities place different demands on the workspace, even when they all take place around the same modern executive desk. Introducing height adjustment provides another level of control to the executive ecosystem. The addition of a standing option expands the ways the (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)

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)

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)

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.

In case you missed it, you can catch up with the original Townsend series traditional office design desks by reading the original story here.

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)

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.

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.
