Business Furniture Systems

What Business Furniture Systems does

Business Furniture Systems (BFS) is an independently held, open line office furniture dealer based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Founded around 2003 and operating from a single showroom at 3709 East Platte Avenue, the company sources new and pre-owned commercial furniture from more than 30 manufacturer partners — including ArtopeX, OFS, Humanscale, Friant, Openplan, Boss, Darran, Dauphin, Tayco, Office Master, 9to5, Integra, Brayton, Kwalu, MetWall, Lesro, FormaSpace, Ghent, and ClearSpace — and sells directly to businesses, government and Department of Defense contractors, and other regional furniture dealers. Its product portfolio spans desking, panel systems, conference and training tables, and seating across reception, guest, task, healthcare, management, big-and-tall, and drafting categories, supported by a 164-page online product catalog. Pricing is quote-based and unit-priced, with the pre-owned vertical offering savings of up to 70% versus new equivalents.

BFS monetizes through four revenue streams: new furniture sales, pre-owned furniture sales, professional installation services (including subcontracting to other Colorado dealers), and interior design and space planning consultations. The showroom, design consultations, 2D/3D floor plan renderings, and in-house installation are offered at no separate charge as part of the sales motion. The company employs between 1 and 10 people, has no disclosed revenue, no outside funding, and no institutional ownership structure documented in public materials.

The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, combining showroom walk-ins, phone and email inquiries, website quote requests, and outside field sales for larger commercial and government projects. Distribution is regional within Colorado Springs and the surrounding area, with subcontracting installation work extending across the broader Colorado market. BFS positions itself as an unbiased, multi-brand aggregator rather than a single-vendor dealer, differentiating on product breadth, full-service capability from space planning through installation, and a physical showroom experience that online-only competitors cannot replicate.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Amazon Business: Online B2B procurement platform with broad office furniture assortment and enterprise procurement integrations; competes with BFS on price, speed, and convenience for routine office furniture purchases, particularly for distributed organizations.
• IKEA for Business: IKEA's B2B offering targets startups and small businesses with affordable desks, seating, and storage solutions, competing with BFS's entry-level and pre-owned offerings on price while bypassing the dealer model entirely.
• Wayfair Professional: B2B arm of Wayfair offering office furniture online with deep catalog, fast shipping, and project pricing — a digital-first competitor that challenges traditional dealers like BFS on convenience and price discovery for SMB and mid-market customers.

Broad incumbents

• Office Depot: Large office products retailer with a B2B division that competes with BFS on small-business and mid-market furniture purchases, including desks, chairs, and breakroom solutions — though with a less curated and lower-touch service model.
• HNI Corporation: Parent of The HON Company and Allsteel, one of the largest office furniture manufacturers in the U.S.; competes in the same mid-market price band that BFS serves with its mix of new and pre-owned offerings.
• Haworth: Privately held global office furniture manufacturer with a strong North American dealer network; competes head-to-head with BFS on systems furniture, seating, and architectural interior solutions for commercial and government clients.
• Steelcase: Largest office furniture manufacturer in North America, with a global dealer network that competes with BFS on the same product categories (desking, seating, workstations) but at vastly greater scale and through direct enterprise contracts.
• MillerKnoll: Major office furniture conglomerate (Herman Miller, Knoll, DatesWeiser, FilzFelt) that sells through authorized dealers in the same open-line channel BFS operates in, often competing for the same enterprise customers in Colorado and nationwide.
• Staples: Major office products retailer with a B2B arm (Staples Business Advantage) that overlaps with BFS on basic office furniture procurement, particularly for SMB and enterprise customers seeking bundled office supply contracts.
• Kimball International: Public office furniture manufacturer (Kimball, National, Etc.) selling through dealers and direct; directly comparable product mix in desks, seating, and conference tables that BFS sources from its open-line manufacturer partners.
