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)

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.

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)

Who decided that office chairs must have wheels?
I mean, really think about it.
There are a million pieces of furniture, and they have their traditional designs and modern takes, but with office chairs, no matter what, the design seems to be saying, you have and will roll around your office.
I think differently.
Of course, there are many benefits to office chairs with wheels, but the most basic, traditional, and common chair design is a stationary chair, which has pluses and minuses too.
In this article, we'll dive into the benefits, and drawbacks of stationary office chairs and share a few tips on features, styles, and ergonomics if you're looking to (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.

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)

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.

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.

If you have the gaming chair, the mini-fridge, the L-shaped gaming desk with LED lights, and the double monitor screen, but no gaming chair mat, can you even call yourself a gamer?
Well, maybe you can.

But gaming chair mats are a gaming room essential because they easily protect floors from the damage of repeated rolls back and forth over the same spots. They also provide a smooth surface for easily moving from place to place, especially in carpeted rooms.

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)

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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)

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.

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.
With this in mind, this blog intends to be a strategic guide for a small offic (Read More)

Quick! Name an office staple that you use regularly but don't put much thought into buying. If you said pens, I'll accept it. But I was thinking more along the lines of something luminary.
All pens aside, when you need to get work done late or need just a bit of extra light for a dark corner of the office, the desk lamp is the staple that everyone has, but only the creative and natural aesthete takes care in choosing.
Let's change that now. Here are 5 (plus a bonus) desk lamps that are cool, unique, modern and other adjectives.

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.
