Answer by Piggiepants
Try local offices and ask them what they do with their old office furniture and if they would consider donating any extra or unneeded furniture to a new nonprofit helping in their community. Another option would be to check local furniture/office supply stores to see if they need to get rid of any excess inventory by donating it to you. Last option, if you need the furniture right away and other options are taking too long, go to a local Salvation Army or other thrift/resale store, and just buy it.

Answer by hugemarkus
Craigslist is good, I would also try to look on ebay for items people want or just set up an auction with your furniture. Also try searching for forums that have topics on buying or selling funiture.

You can list them on your areas Craigslist or put an advertisement in the local classifieds. If you have the nationwide advertising circular called the Penney Saver, that is a great place to unload furniture fast.

Q&A: How much would it cost to have interior doors installed?
Question by SoCalBoy: How much would it cost to have interior doors installed?
... for a home office. Right now, the room (built as a den) has no doors... just a large arched opening... 103″ high at peak.... 53″ wide. French (double) doors would likely make most sense. Anyone have an idea of a ballpark price range for quality doors? Something with good noise blocking... not luan or hollowcore. I know ultimately I'd need to get someone in here to check it out, but just curious in the meantime. Thanks so much.
Best answer:
Answer by justwondering
Prices vary with location. Call your local Home Depot or Lowe's or another building supply to check price. You can check the web site for the first two and get a quote that way. Labor rates will vary too. That arched part will have to be dealt with -- closed off or a window added or something.

when designing an office, what sort of things should be considered that would not have been a concern 20 years?

Answer by akaMaryn
Compared to offices of 20 years ago, the modern office needs a lot more electrical outlets, cable supplies, and places to run cable where it will not impede the flow of people and papers. There may well be less paper flow and somewhat fewer files, depending on what type of redundancy is used to back up electronic records.

Feature Walls?
Question by suhaila s: Feature Walls?
The function of feature walls? What are the elements to be recognized?
For example, office lobby. Is it just for aesthetic value or for the first impression for the whole office image? And another example for residential, is it to create the focal point or enhance the ambiance of the interior space especially for the user of the space?
Best answer:
Answer by The ReDesign Diva
Well, feature walls, whether in residential or commercial spaces have basically the same meaning. They are basically used a lot in commercial design and they work well, they create focal points in work spaces which could often be dreary, they designate areas for the public and staff and they are fun. You expect drama and movement in these areas.
In days gone by, most feature walls were painted a different color, to accent the wall. Nowadays, they are covered more and more in wallpaper, as wallpaper is making a big comeback. They are also often textured.
Mainly, a feature wall is a focal point of a room and can be a wall that is there for a reason (like separating a room) or just there as a focal point (such as a wall built behind a reception desk).
Hope this helps.

Does the post office ship furniture from rural towns?
Question by an on: Does the post office ship furniture from rural towns?
There is a chair I want to ship from a tiny rural town in New England to the Midwest. The town has 1 tiny post office and that's it. Can anyone tell me the best way to have a large wing-back armchair shipped from rural New England to the Midwest? I don't think the post office there can handle it but I don't know, I've never shipped anything large and across state. How much would it cost to ship UPS?
Best answer:
Answer by Crazy Harry
I believe your chair would be too big for the Post Office to ship it. Probably even too big for UPS or FedEx to handle. Probably you will have to contact a freight company in your area or a company that specializes in furniture shipping. Check out the good old Yellow Pages. UPS Stores can ship it freight for you too.

Call around to office furniture resale places. If the stuff is in good condition, they'll take it. They have to be insured as they deliver and collect for a living.

What is the most cost-effective way to sound-proof a room?
Question by Bill Smith: What is the most cost-effective way to sound-proof a room?
In the process of building interior walls to create offices inside a building. Private conversations will be taking place in those offices, so they need to be soundproofed. Is there any particular (preferably inexpensive) material that can be placed within the walls that is effective at blocking sound?
Best answer:
Answer by Phil
The best way to soundproof a room is to build double walls around the office. both walls should have batts of insulation in them and leave a small space between the walls so that vibrations cannot pass from 1 wall to the other. It is also good to put a foam sill seal material under and over the framing to lessen the vibration transfer into the main building structure.
