Executive Desks — Expert Answer

How do I buy a used or secondhand executive desk without getting a bad deal?

When buying used executive furniture, inspect the veneer surface carefully for delamination at corners, water rings, and surface scratches that can't be polished out. Check all drawer slides and lock mechanisms. Confirm you can get all pieces from the same set — mismatched suite pieces are very difficult to blend, even from the same manufacturer. Factor in delivery and assembly costs, which often run $200–$500 for heavy executive pieces. Used executive furniture can be a great value at 30–60% of new cost when in good condition. FindOfficeFurniture.com also has affordable new executive desks that compete with used pricing — call 888-719-4960.
