What is an executive desk?
Executive desks are probably the most expensive and luxurious desks to be had. Their name automatically makes you think of somebody that is ‘high up’ and important in a business or company. In terms of look, traditionally, they are often supported by two pedestals either side of the sitting area. The pedestals often have multiple (Read More)

Looking at today’s office trends we see that open and bright are extremely popular design motifs that are being utilized more and more. Offices with the space to stretch out are moving away from the boxed in cubicle lifestyle that has dominated the office jungle for decades. In place of cubicle cities, many office workers find themselves in desks that are not only attractive but can often times be considered works of art compared to what many of them started their careers out using.
With that in mind, I thought today that I would highlight a few of our newer modern L shaped desk designs for a vibrant office. The L shaped desk is quickly becoming the default desk sh (Read More)

Executive chairs just sit different. Pardon my slang, but it’s true. Executive chairs are considered to be high end office furniture that belongs in the big office. However, just because the name is executive chair doesn’t mean that they can only be found in an executive office. Any office can enjoy the upscale design of these desk chairs. So, anyone who needs a more comfortable or more ergonomically designed office chair should consider purchasing one.
One of our partners- Boss Office Products a leader in office furniture, has quite a few exceptional executive chairs available on the Madison Liquidators online marketplace. I picked out six of my personal fav (Read More)

Executive offices require special office furniture, right? What’s the point of being in the big office if you can’t enjoy the benefits? If we take the 1980s yuppie phrase of “work hard, play harder” then we can assume that we should reward ourselves for making it to the top of the business. Okay, so that tongue in cheek spill was my attempt at humor, but the underlying message is true. Executive office furniture is built to higher standards than regular office furniture with the executive in mind.
Let’s take executive office chairs for example. You will find larger office chairs with more comfort considerations built in, and more luxury ma (Read More)

Ah, the executive office. The office with the cool office furniture; it is near and dear to my heart. Not that I am an executive nor have an office with executive furniture… One phrase comes to mind when I think about executive office furniture- must be nice! I review and write about high-end executive desks all the time, but I work from a standard L shaped desk. I’m not complaining, my desk is perfect for what I do but what sedan owner doesn’t dream about a sports car?
The high-end executive desk is the centerpiece of the office. It sets the tone for the entire workspace. Every aspect of the executive office feeds off the statement that the high-end (Read More)

A small conference table for an executive office can be a valuable asset to have in place. They provide a small meeting area outside of the normal confines of the conference or board room. Usually, a small round or square conference table can be placed within the executive office without taking up too much space and ruining the design of the office space. They provide the executive with a small informal meeting area within their own office to greet guests, often those VIPs that really help make the business such a success. Since small square or round conference tables are becoming so popular for the executive office, I thought I would highlight a few from the Madison Liqu (Read More)

What happens when a modern innovation meets the largest desk shape available? The joining of a multitasking workstation with a technological measure to bring activity to the office throughout the workday. First a U shaped desk isa large workstation with three separate desktops that seamlessly allows for separation of work duties with the main desk, the back credenza desk, and the bridge between them. The modern twist is turning the main desk into a sit stand desk.

What is a U Shaped Desk?
A U shaped desk is a type of workstation or office desk that is designed in the shape of the letter "U." It typically consists of a large desk surface that extends in three directions, providing ample space for the user to work and organize materials. While not a traditional office furniture design, they are a good choice to find for a modern office if they fit the criteria of your business or home office.
This U shaped desk configuration usually includes a main desk in the center, a credenza or bridge connecting the u desk, drawers on two sides, and a return on one side, forming the U shape. The user can use each section for different purpose (Read More)

A small office can be challenging to furnish. Multiple issues arise when you begin the process of doing so. The most obvious is limited space with the conventional wisdom calling for small office furniture. However, this is often flawed due to the type of work that we do in our offices. Small desks just don’t allow us to perform the work that we are required to do daily. So, what do we do?
From my own personal experience in a small office in my home, I was able to find a fantastic desk that fit the requirements of my daily duties exceptionally well. How did I do this? When I arrived in Madison for my initial training, I sat down with the skilled co-workers who are (Read More)

A growing office needs to have versatility. They need the ability to transition from one phase to the next swiftly. While there are a lot of variables that go into a transition such as this, one of the best ways to make it easier is to have office furniture that can change with each move. For larger desks such as the U shaped desks versatility means being reversible. For a U shaped desk, being reversible means that the bridge, which is the centerpiece connecting the front and back of the desk can be placed on either side as needed.
A reversible U shaped desk will ensure that with each move, the office furniture will be able to fit within any office setting. Not only th (Read More)

I thought that we would look at one of the most overlooked desk options for a collaborative or growing office. It’s the T shaped desk for two people. I know that it isn’t the most obvious desk shape at first glance, but if you look a little closer, it makes a lot of sense and honestly should be used more often in today’s office setting. After all, a T shaped desk for two workers is just two L shaped desks stuck together.
When we look at it like that, it does put a new perspective on the T shaped desk for two, doesn’t it? At least it does to me because the L shaped desk is the most sought-after desk design going today. Take two of them and smash them together and (Read More)

Madison Liquidators has grown a lot since I first started back in January of 2021. To me, it’s a little wild how far we have come since then. Before I get into anything, I don’t want you to think this is going to be some braggadocious article that I threw together. This isn’t an arrogant, boastful fluff piece to stroke mine or anyone’s ego. More or less, this is to tell you how proud I am to be a part of the growth that we have seen, and I will tell you why in just a second.
But first, since I have been with Madison Liquidators, we have sold office furniture to some of the biggest names in finance, business, and industry. We sold conference tables to an NFL team! (Read More)

When thinking of a modern office, specifically the conference room the conventional thought for the office furniture is a modern shaped conference table. Like the boat shaped conference table that flairs out on the long ends so that everyone in the meeting can see each other, or the racetrack conference table that has rounded ends for a touch of uniqueness in the office furniture of the conference room. These two shapes seem to have been created for the modern office, but manufacturers are making a concerted effort to broaden the office furniture available for the aesthetic by applying modern touches to traditional conference table shapes.

I’ve said it often when talking about conference room office furniture- the conference room is grand central station of the office, it’s where everything gets done, and the conference room is the lifeblood of the office.
Offices from businesses to construction all meet within the conference room for everything from the staff meetings, to client meetings, to birthday celebrations. When something important needs to be relayed to the entire staff, you can bet it’s done around the conference table… or in a copy all email that is always fun to read…

Storage is often one of the most overlooked needs of an office. We design and build our complete office thinking it’s perfect only to find that the two or three pedestal drawers on our desks aren’t near enough storage space. To prevent this, many desk manufacturers build extra storage into their desk models. A U shaped desk can provide unmatched storage options versus smaller desk shapes.
With this in mind, I have compiled a list of six different U shaped desks that provide extreme levels of storage. While this list highlights a few models, there are many more U shaped desks with storage to choose from in our inventory. If this list gets you started down th (Read More)

Today I thought I would continue our look at office furniture for tight spaces with what is probably going to be the most popular type in the series with small L shaped desks. When square footage is limited, we need the most out of the office furniture that we can find for the space. If you’re like me, you’ve been squeezed into a small shared office with a co-worker because the business just doesn’t have enough room for a full office for everyone. In my case, my roommate and I were still able to squeeze in a small L shaped desk each. This office furniture eased the strain of the limited work room between us by providing us with a workstation that gave us (Read More)

Whether it’s a commitment to diet and exercise, financial goals, or relationship building the idea of a fresh start is appealing to so many of us.

As I was researching my last blog, “A Guide to Finding the Right L-Shaped Desk for a Small Office” I kept coming back to the idea of my own L shaped desk in my home office. The more I studied and compiled data for the other blog, I also found myself setting aside inventory for ideas for corner desks and L shaped desks for a home office. It got to the point to where I had to decide to create a completely separate blog to highlight the idea of these pieces of office furniture for a home office. So, with that in mind we will look at Corner desks and L shaped desks for the home office.

After reviewing standing office furniture for the past week or so, I thought I would look into this style in the most popular office desk around today- the L shaped desk. L shaped desks are always “flying off the shelf” at Madison Liquidators and for good reason. They provide an upgraded workstation compared to a traditional rectangular desk. They give the worker double the desktop workspace versus a traditional shaped desk. This extra workspace pays dividends for project management and desktop organization. I personally work from an L shaped desk and do so because I was allowed to pick out my own desk, so I like so many others went with L shaped office furniture.

A large office allows for a large desk. In most cases a large desk is a much needed tool to work with on a daily basis. U shaped desks are the largest desks in office furniture.

However, the office furniture is not just limited in that respect. The U shaped desk opens the door for so much more!

Versatility with the office furniture can be a bonus for a growing office. Take the L shaped desk for example. If we purchase one for the space we are in now, wouldn’t it be great if it fit the next office space we put it in even if the configuration of the desk is required to be different? I know it’s a luxury to be able to think that far ahead but with most L shaped desks, you don’t have to worry they are naturally reversible.
While some L shaped desks are designed for a very specific layout, most are designed to be reversible to fit any office space. Today, I want to draw your attention to the benefit of purchasing a reversible L shaped desk so tha (Read More)

As a gamer, I often get caught looking at the gaming side of our office furniture. I’ll get distracted from my task anytime a gaming desk or chair comes across my feed. For years my gaming set up was a retail store desk that was cheap in price and just as cheap in quality. Honestly, it needed replacing after six months but with some redneck engineering and a whole lot of duct tape, I made it last for years. Not that I was proud of it or anything. In fact, my gaming set up was somewhat of an embarrassment anytime someone came over.
