Office Furniture Center

What Office Furniture Center does

Office Furniture Center (OFC) is a Chicago-based, privately-held office furniture retailer founded in 2004 that operates a hybrid physical and online sales model. The company runs what it describes as the Midwest's largest value-priced office furniture showroom — a 250,000 square foot facility on Roosevelt Road open to the public without appointment — alongside a full e-commerce storefront carrying 941+ listed SKUs and additional in-stock inventory. It sells new, Certified Pre-Owned (90-day warranty), and ReNewed/refurbished (5-12 year warranty) furniture across workstations, seating, desks, tables, storage, lounge, phone booths, and accessories from premium manufacturers including Herman Miller, Steelcase, Knoll, and Haworth, at price points from approximately $45 for basic seating to $6,895 for premium workstations, typically 50-80% below new-equivalent pricing.

The company monetizes through three streams: unit-priced furniture sales (one-time), professional services (space planning, design, delivery, installation, decommissioning, buyback, rental, refurbishment, chair maintenance), and a wholesale/dealer program accessible via a dedicated portal. Its go-to-market blends direct-to-consumer showroom and e-commerce self-service for SMB and individual buyers with consultative enterprise field sales for full-floor furnishing projects. Customer segments span enterprise, SMB, individual consumers, and resellers, with named enterprise projects in commercial real estate, electronics manufacturing, software, and consulting. Proprietary offerings include the ReNewed refurbishment sub-brand and the OFC FLEXBENCH benching product, while ancillary services extend into flooring and industrial racking. The company has no disclosed AI capabilities, no external funding, and operates with 11-50 employees from a single Chicago location with Midwest-centric and nationwide shipping coverage.

Emerging players

• UsedCubicle.com (Corporate Installations): Online-focused dealer of used cubicles, workstations, and office furniture with nationwide shipping. Directly comparable in the pre-owned workstation/cubicle niche, particularly competing with OFC's online catalog in the same price-sensitive SMB segment.

Broad incumbents

• Office Depot (The ODP Corporation): National office supplies and furniture retailer serving SMB and enterprise customers across multiple channels. A broad incumbent with overlapping product categories, though not specializing in the pre-owned/refurbished niche.
• MillerKnoll (Herman Miller): Premium office furniture manufacturer whose brands (Herman Miller, Knoll) are core to OFC's inventory. Increasingly relevant as a competitor via direct pre-owned and remanufactured programs that could rival OFC's ReNewed tier.
• CORT Business Services: National furniture rental and transition services provider serving enterprises, with adjacent services in furniture refurbishment and decommissioning. Comparable in service-oriented office furniture offerings, particularly the rental and decommissioning streams.
• Staples Business Advantage: B2B-focused office supplies and furniture division of Staples serving enterprise and SMB accounts with broad assortment and contract services. Comparable enterprise sales motion but no specialty in refurbished/pre-owned.

Direct peers

• Office Anything: Online office furniture retailer with wide assortment, project quoting, and contract/commercial sales focus. Comparable in targeting SMB and enterprise customers with project-based purchasing through digital channels.
• National Business Furniture: Online-focused office furniture retailer serving businesses of all sizes with broad product assortment and project services. Comparable in e-commerce + enterprise-project GTM motion, though skews more heavily toward new furniture.
• Arnold's Office Furniture: Midwest-based retailer selling both new and used office furniture with showrooms, space planning, and delivery/installation services — a close functional twin to OFC's hybrid new/pre-owned/refurbished model.
• Crandall Office Furniture: Specialist in used, refurbished, and new office furniture with showroom, delivery, and installation services. Directly comparable in product mix, customer base (businesses seeking value-priced premium-brand furniture), and circular buyback/reuse orientation.

Regional players

• Texas Office Furniture: Texas-based retailer of new and used office furniture with showrooms and project services. Operates the same hybrid new/used model as OFC but in a different US geography, making it a structural twin rather than a direct head-to-head competitor.
