Default Where can you get decent office furniture?

Converting the spare room to an office and i'd like some decent office furniture.Had a look in Ikea and they have loads of stuff but i just wish it was a bit better quality.Anywhere else,there doesnt seem a lot of choice when it comes to bookcase/shelving that sort of thing.(not looking for a desk btw)

This sort of thing.

I got a really nice big glass desk from PC world a while back, it was reduced from £199 to £99. I also got a fake leather reclining office chair/armchair for about £60 (half price as well).

Could be worth checking your local PC world...

Why not try your local auction house for office furniture.
Ours has the std stuff, usually far better wearing than office world or furniture shop items.
Sometimes some very good solid wood bits come up - presumably from directors offices.
All at very low prices - "as cheap as chips"

Sad to say that with lots of small businesses going to the wall, there are alot of repo auctions going on - look out for them and you should be able to pick up a bargain

These guys fitted our converted garage as an office. Fantastic quality gear - quick fitting and made to measure. They have great attention to detail.
