Commercial Office Furniture, Design, and Relocation Solutions for Utah Businesses

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers ask us about new and pre owned office furniture, space planning, installation, and delivery across the Salt Lake Valley.

• What does Main Street Office Furniture sell?

  We are a full service dealer serving businesses across Salt Lake City and the surrounding valley. Our floor covers new and pre owned desks, office chairs, reception desks, workstations, cubicles, file storage, and collaborative pieces. Whether you need commercial office furniture for an entire floor or a single office desk for a spare bedroom at home, the same team walks you through it.

• Where is your showroom, and can we just stop by?

  Yes, and we would rather you did. Seeing furniture in person beats guessing from a product photo. Our new location is 3624 S Main St, Salt Lake City, UT 84115, and the showroom is now open. Call us at (801) 685-8448 before you come if you are shopping for something specific so we can have it pulled and ready.

• Do you sell used office furniture?

  We do, and it is one of the best values in the building. Our pre owned office furniture inventory includes desks, cubicles, file cabinets, seating, and shelving from offices that closed, downsized, or upgraded. It is quality furniture at a fraction of new pricing, and it is available now instead of eight weeks from now. Inventory turns over often, so call ahead if you have a specific size or finish in mind.

• What is the real difference between new and used?

  New office furniture gives you full manufacturer warranty, current finishes, exact specs, and the ability to order more of the same piece two years from now. The trade off is lead time. Used gives you immediate availability and a much lower cost, limited to what is on the floor that week. Plenty of our projects mix both, with new furniture in client facing areas and used behind the scenes where nobody is taking meetings.

• Can you take our existing furniture as a trade or credit?

  Ask us before you rent a dumpster. Depending on condition, quantity, and timing, we may be able to work your existing furniture into the project as an office furniture exchange, or coordinate removal and liquidation as part of your build out. Send photos and a rough count and we will tell you honestly what it is worth.

• How do you compare to other dealers in the area?

  Most buyers shop two or three places before deciding, and names like New Life Office, Office Furniture Exchange, and Midwest Commercial Interiors show up in the same searches we do. The comparison worth making is scope. We handle furniture selection, space planning, office furniture installation, interior renovation, and relocation with one team, so there is no finger pointing between a dealer, a designer, and an installer when something arrives late. Most office furniture Salt Lake City buyers are weighing price, lead time, and who is actually responsible on install day.

• Do you carry ergonomic chairs?

  Ergonomic office chairs are the single most requested category in the showroom, and the one people regret cheaping out on. A good ergonomic office chair adjusts to the person rather than asking the person to adapt. We stock everything from a straightforward task chair for heads down work to executive seating for private offices, and the only real way to choose is to sit in several. Bring your laptop and stay a while.

• Do you carry specific brands like Office Star?

  Our vendor lineup includes OFGO Studio, Friant, Tayco, and OFS, among others, and it shifts as manufacturers refresh their lines. If you have your eye on a particular brand, call and we will tell you what we can source, what it costs, and what the lead time looks like before you commit.

• What kinds of desks do you carry?

  Standing desks, executive desks, L shaped desks, benching systems, and compact options for tight rooms. Sit to stand is the most common request we get now, and it is worth spending a few minutes on the difference between a two stage and three stage base if you plan to keep the desk a decade. For larger floors we often mix desk types by role rather than buying one model for everyone.

• Can you furnish a home office?

  Yes, and we do it constantly now that hybrid schedules are normal. Home office furniture has to work harder than most people expect, because a dining chair and a folding table will wreck your back inside a month. A proper home office desk, a supportive chair, and real storage change how the room feels. We carry home office furniture that fits a bedroom corner as comfortably as a dedicated study. We also help companies standardize home office furniture for remote employees so every hire gets the same setup instead of a reimbursement form and a shrug.

• What about conference and waiting room furniture?

  Conference tables, reception desks, occasional tables, lounge seating, and everything else that shapes a visitor's first thirty seconds in your building. Conference room furniture in particular gets picked last and used most, so we usually push clients to size the table to the room and the technology before falling in love with a finish.

• Do you install what you sell?

  Every project, if you want us to. Our crew handles delivery, assembly, panel and cubicle systems, and the punch list at the end. Furniture installation by the same company that sold you the pieces means nobody is on the phone hunting for a missing bracket while your team stands around waiting to work.

• Do you help with office moves?

  An office move is more than boxes. We coordinate disassembly, transport, reconfiguration of cubicles and storage, and reinstallation so your team is back at their desks quickly instead of camped in a conference room for a week. If you are also renovating, we can sequence the furniture around construction so the two do not collide.

• Can you plan the layout before we buy anything?

  Please let us. Space planning is where projects get saved or sunk. We look at your floor plan, headcount, growth expectations, traffic flow, storage, and how your team actually works, then show you the office space on paper before a single purchase order goes out. It is much cheaper to move a wall in a drawing than a cubicle on a Tuesday.

• Do you offer office furniture rental?

  Renting is not our model. We focus on new and pre owned sales with design and installation behind them, which almost always costs less over a two year horizon than a rental agreement. If short term furniture rental is genuinely what your situation calls for, call us anyway and we will point you toward the right option.

• Do you sell wholesale office furniture or offer volume pricing?

  We buy direct from manufacturers, so large orders get quoted at project pricing rather than list. If you are collecting wholesale office furniture quotes for a build out, send over your spec sheet, drawings, or even a rough count by department, and we will price it against what we can source.

• What does premium office furniture actually buy you?

  Better mechanisms, longer warranties, replaceable parts, and finishes that still look right in year eight. High quality office furniture costs more up front and less across the life of the space, because the failure point on cheap office chairs is the cylinder and the failure point on cheap casegoods is the edge banding. Quality office furniture also holds resale value, which matters the day you expand, downsize, or relocate.

• Do you serve areas outside of downtown?

  We deliver and install throughout the Salt Lake Valley and the surrounding communities. If you have been searching Sugar House furniture stores or looking closer to home in the south valley, our Main Street showroom is a short drive and we come to you for measurements, delivery, and install.

• Do you carry mission style furniture?

  Mission furniture is a residential tradition, heavy wood, straight lines, exposed joinery. Our floor is commercial first, so we do not stock it as a category, but we do carry wood casegoods and executive pieces that land in a similar warm, solid direction. Bring a photo of what you like and we will show you the closest thing we can get.

• How small a project will you take?

  As small as one office cubicle or one chair. We would rather help a two person startup pick the right furniture now and grow with them than only answer the phone for whole floor projects. Small orders get the same design input and the same install crew.

• How do we get started?

  Call (801) 685-8448 or request an estimate through the contact form, and tell us roughly how many people you are furnishing and when you need to be operational. If you would rather see and touch things first, visit the showroom at our new location on South Main Street and we will walk the floor with you.
