Just do a web search for "office furniture liquidator" and include your nearest big city.

You are probably going to want the least flashy of the results, as all that flash comes at an expense ;)

I know that there are at least 2 good ones in Chicago and another that sells used hotel furniture (which I am not sure that I would willingly go into, but apparently there is a market for such things...).

These places are very much business-focused; it's not like walking into an IKEA. You'll probably have to get buzzed in through many doors and then sign in, where you'll be asked for both your name and business. If you don't have a business they aren't going to throw you out or anything, but probably ask you to write something like "<First Name><Last Name> LLC" so they can put you in their system. You probably have to get escorted to the sales floor but are free to wander around. You have to pay in full for what you want, up front, but will get issued an invoice and bill of sale as if you are a business (from their point of view, they aren't selling anything to you, they are selling to the business you are representing).

There is an awesome one in Wilmington DE, its the goto for startups. Very sketchy warehouse off of 12th street (if you pass the prison, you’ve gone too far). But lots of clean stuff, like the last of office stuff from DuPont clearing out all their locations.

Please share the names!

Try craigslist... search for office chair or desk.

To add to this, you're searching CL for those terms so that it brings up a liquidator with a brick and mortar store.

"cubicle" may be better... and "workrite" or similar
