Survey on Office Furniture
Some of you folks own your own businesses, work from home, have a badass home office, or parent's bought you some sweet furnishings to P99 your brains out on.
My question is when you are considering furnishing an office, home-office or just your game-station, what stores do you look for furniture in? Do you go to office supply stores? Walmart? Ikea? If it's an actual office, would you pick out and set up cubicles, offices, desks and all that stuff on your own or find a service that designs the layout and furnishes it for you? | ||

http://store.hermanmiller.com/Products/Aeron-Chair for the chairs. A+ would buy again.
(They are spendy, but these chairs let your ass breath for long sitting sessions, and are very comfortable IMO) | ||

Check out your local universities to see what they do with their old office stuff. The university I work for has a sale open to the public one weekend a month where they sell basically anything you could think up. A lot of the stuff is trashy, but I've had friends pick up cool old drafting desks and mid-century style office furniture for dirt cheap. Another friend snagged a bunch of old dental/medical lights from like the 50s that look pretty dope lighting their apt now. Most universities don't really value the stuff and just want to get rid of it, so they ask for basically nothing and seem pretty open to haggling.

All I can say is that a quality chair is worth the investment.

I'd say it all just really depends on what you're doing and how much you want to spend. I don't spend a whole lot on my home office, which is more of a recording studio nowadays, but I've spent a ton on my work office.

Personally, I've bought my desk, bookshelves, and chairs from Ethan Allen for my work office, and I've made sure that any work areas that a customer may go through on the way to my office has higher quality furnishings despite their role for the company. I get tons of compliments on my leather-top desk. For most of the offices/employees outside of my customer's line of sight I've gone with the less expensive office supply store furnishings. Be prepared to look into the sit-stand desks if you're doing a furnishing project. Those are all the rage right now. | ||||

Are these chairs being used for a office for account trading and RMTing?
