Front Page Forum: Used Office Furniture in Brooklyn?
We're in the process of moving into a new office space (more on that later) and so our thoughts have turned to things like file cabinets and conference tables. Any recommendations for good used stuff?

Two Jakes in Williamsburg!

someone just started a flea market that should be a great place to find things.

I've got an old 27" Sony TV you can have.
It sometimes hums tho.
There used to be a Jewish run (closed on Saturdays) used furniture warehouse in Williamsburg that I think relocated to Greenpoint. I never knew the name of it.

Full disclosure, the owner is a friend of mine.
Discount Office Furniture. Their warehouse is on Bergen.

There used to be a place in the city called "Office Furniture Heaven" that had used stuff. It was near Bed Bath and Beyond-Flat Iron district.

I found what I was looking for at Chase Furniture in the Bklyn Navy Yard.

for desks and stuff, doors on sawhorses make for great desks....

Two Jakes has nice stuff, though pricey.
Sidney's place (which Karka mentions, formerly on Driggs and North 12th or so) moved to Bushwick - I'm pretty sure its on Starr Street between Irving and Wyckoff or Wyckoff and St. Nick. He has a lot of office stuff in the back room - always hit or miss in terms of quality and style, but the stock changes fairly often.

Discount Office Furniture is definitely a good place to start. I've been up in the showroom on bergen street and they have a ton of stuff. If little scratches and dents don't bother you then you could easily find what you're looking for there. Call ahead. Showroom visits are by appt only.

I second the recommendation for Chase Office Supply, located in the Brooklyn Navy Yard

look in the free section on Craigslist.

There is a place that fixes up stuff on Greene. It is something like to blocks West of Franklin, nearly on the corner. They have tables, shelves, doors, i don't know about filing cabinets, but could be. If you don't find anything there, maybe you could convince them to become a vendor. It seems very old school stuff.

The best place I have gone to is office furinture place in manhattan. By far the best priced. There on 37th street. We have done our 3rd office and the service was great.
