We've outfitted dozens of small offices and co-working spaces in Delhi NCR. The same mistakes keep happening: founders either splurge on designer chairs they can't afford, or they buy the cheapest plastic stools and replace them in 4 months. Here's the middle path.
Workstations: buy refurbished
Modular workstations from corporate liquidation sales are 60-70% cheaper and last 8-10 years. We refurbish, repaint, and re-laminate before delivery.
Chairs: buy new
This is the one place to spend. Your team sits 8+ hours a day. Get mid-range ergonomic chairs (₹6-9k range) — not the ₹2k mesh chairs that collapse in 6 months.
Conference tables: refurbished or made-to-order
Solid wood conference tables cost a fortune new. A made-to-order MDF/laminate table from a local karigar costs 1/3rd and looks just as good in photos.
Storage: lockers + open racks
Skip filing cabinets unless you have legacy paperwork. A few lockers + open metal racks are cheaper, more flexible, and easier to move when you scale.
Lounge / breakout area
Pre-loved sofas in good condition are perfect here. Reupholstery costs ₹4-8k per seater and gets you a brand-new look.
Bulk-order tip
If you're buying 20+ chairs or 10+ workstations, never pay MRP. Ask for a bulk quote from at least 2 dealers. We typically discount 15-25% on bulk orders and include free delivery and assembly across Delhi NCR.
