Introduction:

Looking for the perfect place to buy Bristol office furniture? We've got you covered! Whether you want to revamp your existing office space or furnish a completely new one, Bristol has plenty of options for you.

This guide will show you where to find office furniture in Bristol and provides helpful tips to consider before making your purchase.

What to Consider When Buying Office Furniture in Bristol?

Key factors to consider before purchasing any office furniture:

  • Who will be using the furniture? Depending on your work arrangements, different furniture will be needed. If most employees work remotely, shared desks may be the most convenient. If you have disabled employees, accessibility is crucial.
  • What is the available floor space? Each workspace is unique, so make sure you measure yours to avoid the stress of continuous returns.
  • How important is mobility or modularity? Flexible office furniture is essential for growing businesses. Modular pieces allow you to scale up or down, simply by removing or adding sections.
  • What’s your timeline? Think about when you need your furniture. When are you moving into your Bristol office space? Customised pieces can take longer to arrive!
  • Do you need delivery and assembly services? Take into account delivery fees; they can be costly. Some suppliers offer free delivery and installation, while others don’t, meaning you may have to hire privately, make sure to account for this in your budget.

Online vs Local: What’s Best for Bristol-Based Businesses?

The choice between online and local suppliers presents both pros and cons:

Local Suppliers

Pros:

  • Fast delivery times
  • Opportunity to test prior to purchase
  • Better installation assistance
  • Personalised service

Cons:

  • Restricted range of office furniture
  • Potentially more expensive

Online Retailers:

Pros:

  • Extensive selection of chairs and desks
  • Cost saving from bulk-buy discounts

Cons:

  • Potential for delivery delays
  • Limited installation support
  • Cannot inspect the product before purchase

Alternatively, you could shop your bigger pieces locally and order accessories online, or vice versa. If possible, we recommend viewing office furniture before purchasing, so you can properly assess the quality.

Budgeting for Office Furniture - What to Expect:

  • Office Chair: £150 - £1,000+

  • Filing/Storage Units: £50 - £300
  • Breakout Furniture: £80 - £500
  • Meeting Table: £250 - £1,200

These figures are an average of what it could cost to purchase office furniture pieces, but actual prices vary depending on the items chosen.

Money-saving tips for start-ups or budget-conscious businesses:

  • Consider refurbished furniture
  • Buy in bulk to access discounts
  • Look out for seasonal sales

Why You Should Invest in Good Office Furniture:

Good office furniture can boost the well-being and productivity of your team. According to Workplace Solutions, investing in ergonomic office furniture can reduce employee absences due to musculoskeletal disorders by approximately 67% and increase productivity by 15%. The value of office furniture extends far beyond appearance. Employee comfort is essential for a successful business.
