Office Resale

Office Resale works from a simple idea: a good chair, desk, or table can keep serving people after an office changes size or style. Its catalog brings together used and refurbished furniture from established brands, including task chairs, individual and height-adjustable desks, meeting and dining tables, sofas, storage, and workplace accessories.

The selection serves both companies furnishing an entire office and individuals looking for a durable piece for a home workspace. The website organizes furniture by category and brand, with names such as Herman Miller, Humanscale, Haworth, Orangebox, Boss Design, and Allermuir. Office Resale also identifies itself as an authorized Herman Miller refurbishment partner, a specialty reflected alongside its inventory of restored chairs and furniture.

Behind the store is the Renew Centre, Crown Workspace’s facility for remanufacturing, refurbishing, and repairing office furniture. Used pieces are checked for wear and function, then cleaned and repaired; items that do not meet the expected standard may receive additional work such as reupholstery or repainting. Commercial purchases include a 12-month warranty, while home-use purchases include six months, according to the company’s published terms.

The center’s work extends beyond preparing products for sale. The company also repairs and reupholsters chairs, makes or modifies desktop surfaces, refurbishes acoustic screens, and can resize or reconfigure existing workstations. For specific projects, it offers custom furniture and workplace design and fit-out services, from space planning to delivery and installation.

The reuse approach is reflected in the scale of the Renew Centre. Office Resale reports that since 2015 it has refurbished or remanufactured more than 80,000 items and that its work has avoided emissions and kept furniture out of disposal streams. These figures come from the company, which connects extending furniture’s useful life with reducing the need to replace it with new products.

The company also offers a furniture buyback service, subject to its terms, and a Crown Workspace initiative that directs suitable furniture and equipment to schools, charities, and social enterprises. For businesses updating their premises, these options make it possible to consider buying, restoring, clearing, or donating furniture as parts of the same transition rather than separate tasks.

The Ardra Road address is the company’s North London warehouse, not a showroom open for unarranged visits. Collections take place Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. by appointment; orders can also be delivered and installed in different parts of the UK, with routes and lead times subject to scheduling. Office Resale therefore works as an online store and project provider, while access to stored furniture is arranged in advance.
