Universal
We are universal in two senses of the word. One, we have partnerships worldwide to provide assistance anywhere you need it, and secondly, our abilities are multifaceted — we can solution any part of the furniture surplus process.
Merchants
We are buyers and sellers of surplus furniture and fixtures. We work directly with property managers and others who are looking to sell, donate or recycle old furniture, and connect them with interested buyers, charitable organizations and approved recycling centers.
Managers
You may have a surplus of used furniture to figure out what to do with every so often, but we do this every day. We are expert managers in furniture project logistics. From furniture pickup, delivery and scheduling, we provide consultative and hands-on assistance to manage everything for you.

We work with many of the players involved in the FF&E industry. From property managers, to furniture manufacturers and beyond. Oftentimes labor and distribution companies get stuck with huge quantities of leftover used assets after relocating corporate businesses. The great news is we’re interested in large inventories from top manufacturers and take a lot of the frustration out of figuring out what to do next. We help liquidate surplus furnishings and coordinate the next phase of each piece of furniture’s lifecycle.
