I had an interesting chat with a bit player who's at the center of a Bay Area business ecosystem: the proprietor of http://executiveseating.com http://executiveseating.com who buys hundreds of used chairs from larger older companies, stores them in an East Bay warehouse, then sells them individually to smaller newer companies. My own newer, smaller business bought a couple. Side note: He did say not all of his sources of chairs are businesses going out of business. Some are just moving from one office to another. The companies find it easier to design new locations with entirely new furniture, sell him everything from the old location (probably also use the opportunity to shrink each individual workspaces)
