Office Furniture Connection

What Office Furniture Connection does

Office Furniture Connection (OFC) is a Houston-based, founder-owned office furniture dealer and remanufacturer founded by Vincent Oddo in 1993 (with roots in the early 1980s). The company's core capability is the remanufacturing of premium office furniture — most notably Knoll Currents and Morrison workstation systems — through an in-house process that disassembles, inspects, replaces worn parts, refinishes panels and worksurfaces, and updates electrical components to current safety codes. This remanufacturing capability is the technical foundation that allows OFC to deliver like-new furniture at 40-50% savings versus buying new and at lead times of 4-6 weeks, compared with months for equivalent new orders.

OFC complements its remanufactured offering with three additional product lines: pre-owned inventory from its own warehouse, new furniture sourced from 100+ manufacturers worldwide, and the CONNECT Series — an in-house custom millwork line (launched August 2024) producing reception desks, conference tables, work surfaces, and case goods. The company operates from a 110,000 sq ft Houston showroom and warehouse, with documented project execution across 39 states supported by a virtual showroom and nationwide installation partner network.

The business model is project-based and revenue is recognized at the point of sale across four streams: furniture sales (remanufactured, new, pre-owned), custom millwork fabrication, and a bundle of professional services (space planning, project management, delivery and installation, facility services, and furniture liquidation/decommissioning). Customer segments are predominantly enterprise and span corporate workplace, government and municipal, healthcare, education, engineering and professional services, industrial/logistics, and hospitality/co-working. All product is sold under one-time/perpetual license terms with pay-as-you-go billing; remanufactured items carry a Limited Lifetime Warranty, pre-owned inventory a 90-day warranty, and CONNECT Series millwork a 3-year warranty. Distribution runs through direct field sales for enterprise accounts, inside sales for mid-market and remote clients, co-op purchasing for government procurement, and direct showroom walk-in traffic.

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Arnold Office Furniture: Used, refurbished, and new office furniture dealer serving the Midwest with a comparable buy/sell plus project-management model and emphasis on premium brands — closely matched in category mix, customer profile, and pre-owned/refurbished emphasis to OFC's dealership-and-remanufacturing approach.

Broad incumbents

• MillerKnoll: Parent company of Knoll — the brand whose Currents and Morrison workstations OFC specializes in remanufacturing. Operates a much broader portfolio of office-furniture brands and dealer networks and is increasingly competing in circular-economy and certified pre-owned offerings.
• Steelcase: One of the largest global office furniture manufacturers, with extensive dealer and certified pre-owned networks that overlap with OFC's enterprise and government customer base and increasingly contend in the refurbishment space.
• Haworth: Global office furniture manufacturer with a strong contract/dealer channel and growing focus on circular-economy and takeback programs that compete for the same workspace-refresh demand OFC addresses.
• HNI Corporation: Manufacturer of workplace furniture (HON, Allsteel, Gunlocke) competing with OFC through dealer networks for new furniture and any certified pre-owned/refurbishment programs, with breadth across commercial and institutional segments.
• Kimball International: Diversified office furniture manufacturer serving workplace, education, and healthcare — overlapping with OFC's primary corporate and government segments through its dealer network and contract channel.
• KI (Krueger International): Office and institutional furniture manufacturer with a contract dealer network serving K-12, higher education, government, and commercial workplaces — partially overlapping with OFC's customer segments and product categories.
• Staples: National office supplies and furniture retailer serving SMB and enterprise customers, competing for the cost-conscious end of OFC's deals on standardized desks, chairs, and accessories.
• Office Depot: National office supplies and furniture retailer with a contract division serving enterprise and government — competing at the lower end of OFC's pricing tiers and across its public-sector accounts.

Emerging players

• IKEA: Although primarily residential, IKEA's growing office and small-business furniture categories and flat-pack value proposition overlap with the small-business end of OFC's market on standardized desks, seating, and storage.
