Office Furniture: Buyers Growing Wary of Price Tag

Wednesday, February 16th, 2011

We pride ourselves in providing office furniture in Toronto at a fair price.  We also pride ourselves in being able to offer office furniture in Toronto in a variety of ways, such as via rental or by way of clearance furniture sales.  Both of these options allow increased flexibility for office furniture purchasers, permitting them to acquire the furniture they’re looking for in the most cost-effective way available to them.

Cost-effective office furniture acquisition is increasingly important these days, even with rumors of an economic rebound on the horizon.  According to an article about office furniture we found on HeraldNet, the website for The Herald of Everett, Washington, there appears to be a trend in the Puget Sound area away from the purchase of brand-new furniture and towards the purchase of clearance furniture, something we may see mirrored for purchases of office furniture in Toronto.

Brian Hollingshead, the owner of Everett Office Furniture, a retailer that sells new and used office furniture in the Everett area, has certainly noticed a trend in his own business.  Where two years ago about 25 percent of his sales were for used or clearance furniture, today, that number hovers closer to half.  That’s a pretty big jump.  Hollingshead also has a wonderful quote about the rationale for selling clearance furniture.

“You put a desk in a spot and there isn’t much to go wrong with it,” he said.

We can certainly agree with that statement.  Clearance furniture at Executive Furniture Rentals is always top-notch, and our office furniture in Toronto is particularly strong.  Since office furniture is often more sturdy than home furniture, something the HeraldNet article points out, finding excellent pieces of pre-owned furniture is surprisingly easy.

The next time you’re considering office furniture in Toronto, it might help to think beyond purchasing new furniture.  Clearance furniture and rental solutions are also great options.  Contact us today to learn more.

Toronto Home Furniture: Renting Gaining Widespread Acceptance

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

We’ve always been big fans of our Toronto home furniture solutions.  Now, you might think that we’re a little biased: Because we offer Toronto home furniture, we’re inclined to think highly of it, the logic goes.  However, that formula’s actually flipped.  We offer Toronto home furniture rentals because we think the service is a good one and because we’re capable of offering it at a high level.  If we didn’t think that way and weren’t capable of delivering, then we wouldn’t offer it.  That’s how we work at Executive Furniture Rentals.

It doesn’t surprise us, then, when we see validation for our stance on home furniture rental.  This week, such validation came in the form of an article on Franchisee.net.au, the online presence of Franchise Magazine.  The article is about home rental trends, and those trends are generally pointing upward.

Not only are trends pointing upward, the article points out, but many of the new home furniture rental converts are of a wealthier socioeconomic background than people who favored such services in the past.  According to to Alan Payne, the manager of a furniture rental chain in Australia and New Zealand, there are several reasons for this.

First is the increased mobility of the modern consumer.  Rather than getting a low-level job in a massive company and slowly climbing the corporate ladder over the years, today’s upwardly mobile, young professionals bounce around from company to company, leapfrogging.  That means more moves, which means less of a desire to be attached to a bevy of heavy furniture.

Another reason is the increased speed new fashion trends approach and recede.  Those same mobile consumers want to have the latest products—a desire that can be more easily facilitated, by the way, now that that consumer is moving much more.

Our Toronto home furniture solutions are top-notch, but it’s not all we offer.  We also provide excellent office furniture in Toronto, along with a host of other products designed to make any transition within Toronto a smooth experience.

Office Furniture Toronto: Own Famous Furniture!

Friday, November 19th, 2010

This weekend is an event to remember for office furniture in Toronto!  On November 20-21 we at Executive Furniture Rentals are holding our renowned Executive Furniture Warehouse Annual Clearance Sale.  It’s located at 900 Caledonia Rd, and runs from 9 a.m. through 3 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. through 2 p.m. on Sunday.

The Toronto Sun ran a furniture rental article about our sale and titled it “Buy a Chair a Celebrity Sat In.”  It’s true!  Since our Annual Clearance Sale features pieces of furniture used on movie sets, in home staging, and on movie sets, there’s a chance (however slim) that a piece you buy has been sat in or otherwise used by a notable figure!  Now’s your chance to buy memorabilia.

Of course, another reason to buy furniture from our Annual Clearance Sale is to take advantage of excellent deals on barely-used furniture.  Call us boring, but we think that the most exciting part about the chairs  used in the G20 summit that we’re selling for $99 is, well, that we’re selling them for $99.  And that’s just indicative of the sort of deals you’ll be able to find there.  Trust us when we say it’s worth your while to stop by, especially if you’re looking for home or office furniture.

Good enough for state dignitaries, good enough for us: That’s the Executive Furniture Rentals motto!  Well, not really, but it’s certainly a sentiment we can get behind.

As the leader of office furniture in Toronto, we’re proud of our selection, much of which will be on display this weekend.  If you’re looking for something other than office furniture in Toronto, check out our other services, all of which are tailored to making relocation simpler and easier.  In addition to office furniture in Toronto, our suite of services include home furniture rental, custom corporate housing, home staging in Toronto, and special events furnishings.  We’re also proud members of CORT Furniture’s global network, which has your furniture rental needs covered from Andorra to Venezuela.

Office Furniture Toronto: Renting Makes Sense

Friday, November 12th, 2010

At Executive Furniture Rentals, we provide a host of excellently conceived, complementary services designed to make any relocation, whether for home or office, as simple as possible.  Our flagship solution is, of course, our extensive selection of office furniture in Toronto.  Our stock is varied and is geared toward any budget

When looking for office furniture in Toronto, consider Executive Furniture Rentals.

In addition to office furniture in Toronto, we also provide clearance furniture solutions, which can be a great choice for long-term relocations.  However, from a financial perspective, renting can just make sense sometimes, especially when the move is large, long-distance, and/or of predetermined length.

Though purchasing furniture permanently is generally accepted to be the more financially prudent solution, that isn’t always the case.  Consider this: Renting furniture for one year within a country’s borders can cost up to 47% less than moving furniture (using 6,000 pounds’ worth of furniture as the comparison).  An international move can be even more costly for people looking to buy furniture.  Costs in this regard can be reduced up to 67% if those movers were to simply rent.  Two-year costs for renting furniture in these two scenarios are still lower than for buying.

So there you have it: Rental furniture is clearly the way to go for short-term and medium-term moves.  It just makes sense.

In addition to our exemplary office furniture in Toronto solutions, we have several other services which are every bit as powerful.  These include home furniture, special event furnishings, home staging, and custom corporate housing.  We’ve brought the commitment to excellence and service that embodies our office furniture in Toronto concern to each of these.

As you can see, Executive Furniture Rentals has diversified beyond office furniture in Toronto.  We’re ready help make any Toronto-area relocation, home or office sale, or special event go more smoothly.
