A former tenant of mine was an office furniture and moving company. His business was pretty interesting as he was big into buying and selling Aeron chairs. He even gave me a top of the line Aeron for free. All of his inventory just circulated through NYC: he'd furnish an office with chairs he refurbished from another that was closing or moving. My favorite part about his business was how he charged for cleaning out the office of furniture he would turn around and resell making money on both ends. He even tried making Aeron parts overseas to bypass Herman Miller but got caught by customs and had to surrender the shipment. When Covid hit he tried pivoting to home service to try and build a WFH office furnishing company but struggled to get it going (the scale was beyond his ability.) His business in shambles he quickly shut it down and liquidated his inventory in a week.
