Sell Office Furniture in Austin
Fresh Start Furniture buys used office furniture in Austin, Texas. We evaluate your assets by brand, condition and resale demand, send a liquidation specialist to walk your space, and make a cash offer on the lot - from a handful of premium chairs to a full-floor decommission. No consignment, no listing fees, no waiting on a buyer.
We are a buyer, not a broker. The furniture comes to our 1915 Kramer Lane showroom and gets resold here in Austin, which is why we can pay cash up front instead of taking a cut after it sells.
Brands we actively buy
These are the lines with the strongest resale demand in Austin, and the ones we pay the most for:
- Herman Miller - Aeron, Embody, Mirra, Sayl, Cosm, Renew and Nevi sit-to-stand desks, Ratio casegoods

What makes a strong lot
We are set up for volume and for premium individual pieces. The lots we move fastest are:
- 10 or more matching task chairs or workstations
- A full-floor or full-office decommission, any size - office closures, downsizes, relocations, lease turnbacks
- Individual premium pieces - Herman Miller Aeron, Embody or Cosm; Steelcase Leap or Gesture; Knoll Generation; Humanscale Freedom; any brand-name height-adjustable desk
- Executive casegoods and conference tables in current finishes
Smaller mixed lots are still welcome - this is what we prioritize, not what we require.
What we do not buy
- Big-box house-brand task chairs (Office Depot, Staples and similar)
- Particleboard or laminate desks with water damage, swelling or delamination
- Torn, heavily stained or structurally damaged seating
- Items with missing parts that are no longer manufactured
- Anything requiring hazardous-material handling

How it works
- Get in touch. Email hello@freshstartfurniture.co or call our Austin store at (737) 406-4097. You can also send details through the request form below.
- We schedule a walkthrough. A liquidation specialist comes out to assess the lot in person - often within 24 hours, depending on your timeline.
- We coordinate the purchase and the move. Once you accept the offer we arrange pickup, or drop-off at our showroom if that suits you better.
Selling to us vs. the alternatives
- vs. a liquidation broker - brokers find a third-party buyer and take a commission. We buy it ourselves, so there is no middle step and no commission.
- vs. auction - auctions settle weeks later at an unpredictable number. Our offer is fixed before anything moves.
- vs. donation - donation is a write-off, not revenue, and most charities will not take cubicles or damaged seating. We will tell you honestly when donation is the better call.
- vs. junk removal - you pay them. We pay you.

We buy from offices in Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Leander, Kyle, Buda, San Marcos and the surrounding Central Texas area. Our showroom is at 1915 Kramer Lane, Austin, TX 78758.
Frequently asked questions
Who buys used office furniture in Austin?
Fresh Start Furniture buys used office furniture directly in Austin and pays cash. We purchase for our own showroom rather than brokering to a third party, so there is no commission taken out of your offer.
How much is my used office furniture worth?
Value is driven by brand, model, age, condition and current resale demand. A Herman Miller Aeron or Steelcase Leap in good condition holds strong value; generic laminate desks typically hold very little. A walkthrough with our liquidation specialist gives you a real number on the whole lot. For a general sense of the market first, our guide to finding quality used office furniture near you covers realistic price ranges by category and the wear points that move a valuation.
Do you buy Herman Miller Aeron chairs?
Yes. Aeron, Embody, Mirra, Sayl and Cosm are among the pieces we most actively buy, individually or in quantity.
Do you handle full office decommissions?
Yes. For full-floor and full-office decommissions a liquidation specialist walks the space, we make a fixed offer on the whole lot, and we coordinate disassembly, removal and transport.
How quickly can someone come look?
Walkthroughs can often be scheduled within 24 hours. Email hello@freshstartfurniture.co or call (737) 406-4097 and we will work around your lease or move-out date.
Do you pick up, or do I deliver?
Both. Qualifying lots and decommissions include pickup. Smaller lots can be dropped off at 1915 Kramer Lane.
How does payment work?
We agree the offer after the walkthrough, then coordinate payment with pickup or drop-off.
Do you buy cubicles?
Yes, when the panel system has remaining resale demand - Herman Miller, Steelcase, Knoll, Haworth and Teknion systems in particular. Mention the system and the station count when you reach out.
What if my furniture does not qualify?
We will tell you directly and point you toward donation, recycling or removal options. We would rather give you a straight answer than waste a walkthrough.
