Where to Buy Brighton Office Furniture – The Complete Guide
Share this article
Introduction:
Setting up a new office in Brighton or giving your current space a refresh? Finding the right furniture supplier is key to creating a workspace that works for your team. This guide explores what to keep in mind before buying, from sticking to your budget to choosing pieces that combine style with practicality.
The right furniture can do more than just fill a room; it can help boost employee focus and productivity while creating a polished, welcoming space for client meetings.
If shopping around isn’t for you, Runway East Brighton has fully furnished offices for teams of 1-70 people ready to go, so you can focus on running your business while we take care of the set-up.
What to Consider When Buying Brighton Office Furniture:
- Who will be using the furniture? Different employees need different setups, ergonomic chairs for those who spend hours at their desks, larger desks for managers, and inclusive designs that work well for colleagues with accessibility needs.
- What is the available floor space? Check the measurements of your office space so you can avoid costly returns and continuous repurchases.
- How important is mobility or modularity? If your business is growing fast, modular desks and mobile furniture make it easier to adjust your layout to your team.
- What’s your timeline? Allow ample time between delivery and your move-in date. Customised items can take between 8–12 weeks to arrive.
- Do you need delivery and assembly services? If delivery and assembly aren’t included, these can be costly, and you may have to hire a professional assembly team privately.

Online vs Local: What’s Best for Brighton-Based Businesses:
Online and local suppliers have different pros and cons.
Local Suppliers
Pros:
- In-person guidance and installation support
- Test the furniture before you purchase
- Quick, reliable delivery within the area
- Personalised recommendations to suit your needs
Cons:
- Smaller product range compared to online stores
- Can be expensive
Online Retailers:
Pros:
- Competitive pricing
- Bulk-buy discounts
- A wide selection of chairs, desks, and accessories
Cons:
- No opportunity to test furniture beforehand
- Limited installation support options
- Delays with delivery times
You don’t have to stick to just one source. Many businesses choose to combine both options, purchasing major items locally for peace of mind and convenience, while turning to online retailers for smaller, budget-friendly additions.
We highly recommend purchasing in-store to confirm the quality and avoid potential delays, disappointments, or the inconvenience of returns.
Budgeting for Brighton Office Furniture – What to Expect:
- Office Chair: £150 - £1,000+
- Standing Desk: £200 - £900
- Filing/Storage Units: £50 - £300
- Breakout Furniture: £80 - £500
- Meeting Table: £250 - £1,200
The cost of office furniture can vary based on the style, size, and quality of what you choose; the above is just an average price to give you a rough idea.
A few tips for start-ups or businesses with a tighter budget:
- Look out for promotional offers during peak sale periods
- Consider refurbished furniture
- Maximise savings by ordering in bulk when possible
