Awesome place to pick up used ergonomic chairs. Get one and you will only wish you did it sooner. Easier on the wallet, not to mention the climate, than getting a new chair, and just as functional as something right off the Herman Miller website.

I got a standing desk converter a couple months back! It was less than $40, one of the best purchases I've made! Love it

Larry is an extremely friendly and helpful owner. They have a ton of office chairs and other furniture of great quality, and offer it at prices that cannot be beat anywhere else. The chair I bought felt like it was brand new. He also offered me a full refund after I had an unfortunate life event literally just an hour after my purchase so I could stay on my feet financially. Other places will just take your money and run, but Larry is an amazingly generous person and will absolutely do right by you to get you quality office furniture you can be satisfied with. I fully plan to buy any office furniture

Got a Herman Miller Mirra 1 chair for a bargain, & in excellent shape, too. Definitely would repeat business with in the future.

If you want high end office furniture for your new work at home world, I cant recommend Gerstel enough. Top quality office chairs that retail for $1500 in great condition (look almost new) for $500. So glad I invested in a Aeron chair, without paying full sticker price. Highly, highly recommend you check it out.
