SOS Office Furniture — Attraction in Vadnais Heights

My business partner and I stopped in here Tuesday morning. The unassuming exterior of the building threw us for a loop. We walked in and found the used desks, chairs, filing cabinets, and other items we were looking for. Prices were very competitive and most were lower than other used stores. Selection was huge, and the used items were quality items. Most looked new. What was the best experience of our purchasing was the knowledgeable and friendly salesperson Chris Schmitt. He knew every item on the floor, new or used. He helped us layout desks in each of our offices and made sure everything fit. He got us a quote immediately and didn't have to fumble with item numbers or quantities. He knew them all. We shopped a few other used furniture stores the same day and had nothing close to the same experience. Chris set the bar high! We picked up a box truck late that afternoon and Chris and the guys loaded us up and carefully packed everything to make sure the ride back was damage free. I can't say enough good things about SOS Office Furniture. We will be back the next time we need more desks and I know I won't have to waste my time...

They have an incredible selection of new and used commercial grade desks and chairs (for corporate office settings....or just a really nice home setup). I wanted to upgrade my WFH setup now that it seems like we'll be remote indefinitely due to Covid. We came here interested in testing out a used Herman Miller Aeron after seeing the online hype, but after chatting with Chris for almost an hour learning about ergonomics, ideal chair angles, and fabric breathability, we were sold on a brand new all-mesh chair from Open Plan for about the same price as the used Herman Miller that had less functions. We learned a ton from Chris and never felt pressured once to buy something we didn't want. He made the experience fun and we left happy. He even showed us that a fully assembled sizable desk chair (plus a second) could fit in my tiny Corolla -- who knew?!

PS - Don't be alarmed if you park in the back lot (free parking!) and enter into a warehouse (which must be where they assemble the chairs). Once you walk in pass the freight elevator, take a sharp left and head downstairs to get to the showroom where the...

Great store! While we were starting out business 4 years ago, we bought some of the stuff at SOS we couldn't beg or borrow. Over the years they've become the supplier for all our furniture from desks to chairs to conference tables - buying both used and new. Over 40 pieces at this point. There's different personalities on the sales staff, but I've never had a bad experience.

Used furniture: if you're new at this, expect websites to have some nice photos of great deals... And in person find it was "just sold yesterday", or a manipulated photo, and on comes the sales pressure for new stuff. SOS has been the only place I've found where the item on the website is the item in the store. If you want used furniture? That's what they sell you.

New furniture: their deal on those cherry tone desks is unbeatable. You'd think Costco would be a good place for a quality/price breakdown on an office chair, but...
