Supply

Where Teknion comes from in New York

Altos walls are worth relocating rather than replacing. We plan those around the building, not the calendar. In New York that plays out through Midtown, the Flatiron District and Downtown Brooklyn. Finance, media, legal, and the tech offices that followed them. Space is expensive per square foot, so density and storage carry more weight than they do on the West Coast. Premium seating and compact storage move fastest. Large systems lots are harder to place because the receiving buildings are as constrained as the departing ones.

Getting it in the door

What New York buildings do to a Teknion order

Freight elevator reservations, building COIs with specific limits, union labor rules, and overnight windows are the baseline, not the exception. The building management office decides your schedule. That matters more for architectural, systems and seating than people expect. Bulk seating clears most access constraints here. Panel systems, casegoods, and anything over eight feet do not, which on this line means the Altos Walls gets an access check before it gets a price.

The number

What Teknion costs second life here

Teknion sits in the mid-premium tier new, which is exactly why second life is worth the trouble: 50-65% off, second life, on a piece that carried a 10-year manufacturer warranty from the factory. Everything schedules against the freight elevator. Book it first, then hire the crew that fits the window you were given.

The fit

Why this line lands in New York

Architectural interiors and systems furniture. Altos walls, Expansion benching, District. When the project needs scale and consistency, this is what we spec. Set that against what New York actually asks for — All five boroughs, Building management coordination and Weekend and overnight moves — and the Altos Walls and Expansion Desking are the two pieces we place most often here.

Buying second life, answered.

RESEAT sells second life commercial furniture across San Francisco, the Peninsula, Silicon Valley, and the East Bay. Inventory comes out of Bay Area decommissions and campus refresh programs, which is why matched volume lots are available here that are hard to find in other markets. Pricing runs 40 to 60 percent below the same piece new.
Usually yes. Large Bay Area floorplate exits, particularly in San Jose and along the Silicon Valley campus corridor, release hundreds of identical chairs in a single finish. The constraint is timing rather than quantity: register the requirement before the lot lands, because matched volume does not sit on the market.
Everything is inspected and graded before it is offered. A-grade is for client-facing and high-touch areas. B-grade is sound and suits back of house, and a small refresh budget for reupholstery, refinishing, and new casters converts most of it to A-grade appearance for a fraction of the price difference. Anything that fails inspection goes to recycling rather than to a buyer.
MillerKnoll, Steelcase, Knoll, Haworth, Humanscale, Teknion, HNI, and Okamura. Because we are an open line dealer, we can mix brands inside one schedule instead of steering a project toward whichever manufacturer we are contracted to. Note that Herman Miller no longer exists as a standalone brand: it is MillerKnoll.
From available inventory, weeks rather than the months a new furniture order takes. Lead time is one of the most underrated arguments for second life, particularly for growth-stage Bay Area teams working to a move-in date they cannot move.
