About Us
About Us — Refurbished Office Furniture, Done Properly
We are a UK-based specialist in professionally refurbished office chairs, desks, and storage furniture. We source premium office furniture from corporate clearances, building relocations, and end-of-lease fit-outs across the UK — and we restore it to a standard that most people wouldn't believe was second-hand.
Our stock is built around the brands that serious buyers already know and trust: Herman Miller, Steelcase, Humanscale, Orangebox, RH Logic, and Senator. These are not budget chairs with ergonomic marketing copy attached. They are the chairs that the world's leading law firms, technology companies, design studios, and financial institutions have specified for their offices — built to commercial contract standards, engineered to last 15–20 years, and backed by decades of occupational health research. We make them accessible.
Why Refurbished?
A new Herman Miller Aeron costs over £1,200 in the UK. A new Steelcase Leap V2 is over £900. For many buyers — home office workers, small businesses, growing teams, and cost-conscious organisations — those prices are simply not realistic, even though the ergonomic case for premium seating is well established and well documented.
Refurbished changes the equation. The chair is the same. The engineering is the same. The lumbar support, the mesh suspension, the tilt mechanism, the adjustable armrests — all of it is the same chair that the research was done on and the awards were given for. Only the price is different. And in our experience, only the price is what most buyers were waiting on.
We also believe that the refurbished model is simply the right way to sell and buy office furniture. Premium ergonomic chairs are built to last two decades. Most of them are cleared from offices after five to eight years — not because they've worn out, but because a company has moved, restructured, rebranded, or updated its specification. That furniture deserves a second life, not a skip. We exist to provide that second life, and to connect it with the buyers who need it.
Our Refurbishment Process
Every piece of furniture we sell goes through a defined restoration process at our UK workshop before it is offered for sale. For chairs, this means:
- Full mechanical inspection — gas lift, tilt mechanism, tilt lock, armrest adjustment, lumbar support, and all height and depth controls are tested through their complete range of motion
- Cleaning and sanitisation — frames, bases, castors, armrests, and upholstery are cleaned and sanitised
- Upholstery assessment — fabric and mesh are inspected for wear, tears, and degradation; upholstery below our quality threshold is replaced
- Cosmetic restoration — chips, scratches, and surface marks are addressed where possible
- Component replacement — castors and gas lifts are replaced where wear or performance warrants it
- Grading — each chair is assigned a Grade A or Grade B condition rating before being listed for sale
For desks and storage, the same principles apply: structural integrity verified, surfaces cleaned and resurfaced where necessary, mechanisms tested, and hardware confirmed complete.
Our Grading System
Grade A — Minimal to no cosmetic wear. The chair or desk looks close to new under normal working conditions. Full mechanical function confirmed. Typically sourced from short-tenure office clearances or low-use corporate environments.
Grade B / B+ — Shows light signs of prior use under close inspection — minor surface marks, slight upholstery wear — but fully functional and presentable in a professional office environment. Excellent value for buyers who prioritise performance over cosmetics.
Who We Work With
Our customers include home office workers upgrading from a budget chair that's causing them back pain; HR and facilities managers fitting out new office space on a controlled budget; occupational therapists and DSE assessors sourcing specific ergonomic chairs for clients with postural or musculoskeletal needs; procurement teams in the public sector, legal profession, and financial services who need quality, warrantied seating at a manageable cost per unit; and office fit-out contractors who need reliable bulk supply with consistent specification and coordinated delivery.
We are happy to advise before you order. If you have specific ergonomic requirements, a DSE assessment recommendation, or a bulk order to discuss, contact us directly. We know our stock well and would rather help you choose the right chair than sell you the wrong one.
Delivery and Warranty
All orders include free delivery to mainland UK. London delivery is typically available within the same week; nationwide delivery within 3–5 working days. White-glove delivery and on-site installation is available in London — contact us for a quote.
All chairs are covered by a 12-month parts and labour warranty (Grade A) or 6-month warranty (Grade B). Desks and storage units carry a 6-month structural warranty. If something isn't right, we'll fix it.
Sustainability
The refurbished furniture model is, by its nature, a sustainable one. Every chair we restore and resell is a chair that doesn't go to landfill and a chair that doesn't require new manufacturing — with all the raw material extraction, energy consumption, and carbon emissions that entails. Compared to manufacturing a new premium office chair, a refurbished equivalent saves approximately 40–80kg of CO₂, depending on the model and specification.
For organisations with net-zero commitments, B Corp certification, or ESG reporting requirements, our refurbished furniture contributes meaningfully to Scope 3 emissions reduction targets and circular economy initiatives. We're happy to provide documentation to support sustainability reporting on request.
