About Us -- Who We Are and What We Offer
 
We create beautiful, functional offices, one at a time.  Personal service is key to having your needs met with a minimum of stress, so we limit the number of projects under way to give you the attention you deserve.  
 
Joyce Hawkinson, our Designer, has been in this industry since 1999 and received her office furniture training from Bill Sperry, one of the original office furniture liquidators in the U.S.  Her design degree gives her a unique approach to office configuration, and her liquidation experience qualifies her for complicated project management.  Joyce has working relationships with professional liquidators, shippers, installers and movers to give you access to complete service in liquidation or moving your business into a new space.  
 

 

 We handle all major manufacturers, including 

 

                  Teknion, Haworth, Knoll, Steelcase, Herman Miller, and Allsteel/HON. 

 
Liquidation inventories are constantly changing.  The following pictures show some of the product we have handled and some installations we have designed.
 

 
Customization
Nothing compares to the versatility of Herman Miller Ethospace -- it's built to last and look good doing it.  Ethospace is easy to customize by changing the fabric on a selection of tiles, bringing a personal touch to your environment.  In the office pictured to the left we custom built 30" and 36" deep worksurfaces in maple laminate to accommodate blueprints.
 
 
Ethospace sometimes has wood veneer trim, which makes for a rich presentation.  Reception stations can be outfitted with glass tiles, transaction surfaces, and plenty of storage so they make your work easier. 
 
 
We do handle other manufacturers -- 
Here's another look accomplished by using glass tiles:
 

 
 
 
This Allsteel Terrace provides exceptional work surface area and storage.  The neutral colors are soothing without being cold.  Matching file cabinets makes this efficient and impressive.
 
 

 

Knoll Currents 
 
Timeless efficiency with a clean and bright appeal. 
 
Reuters overhead doors lift with a touch, their pneumatic cylinders doing all the work for you. 
 
Shoji screens define work areas, but because they reflect light, the workspace seems to expand.    
 
 
Knolls' excellent reputation for durability stands behind it all.
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
Executive offices need to look good and work hard. 
 
Making the right impression is important, but that's difficult to do unless you have enough storage to keep your office tidy.  The right furniture helps you get off on the right foot.  Buying it 'used' is smart use of money, and helps keep you moving toward success.
 
 
 
 
 
 
TABLES TABLES TABLES!!!  There is an endless variety of tables -- only limited by what happens to be available at the moment.  If you want a special one, a quick broadcast to my nationwide contacts should turn up what you have in mind!
 
 
 
 
 
 
The used office furniture market is flooded with product and availability is constantly changing.  There has never been a better time to find what you need for less.
 
Call 206-569-4726 to talk with a representative about
your current or future furniture needs and let us help
you look this good.

Customer testimonials  

 

"I've worked with Joyce twice and would definitely call her again if I needed to buy new furniture.  The personal service was outstanding!  She listened to our needs, was versatile when they changed, and was super easy to work with.  On both installations the government got a terrific deal at fair prices and we are still pleased with the furniture and follow-up years later."  Wayne.H., US Forest Service.

 

"The furniture we bought from this company is unique and does the job with class and style.  Durable, beautiful and reasonably priced."  D. Shibler, CAIS
