This place! I came here like 20 years ago to buy a two drawer file cabinet and I can't believe this place is still open! Now I brought my son to look for a new office chair since the one he bought from Amazon sucked! Lesson learned! Never buy a chair from Amazon since you can't try it out first. We love the fact that we can try as many chairs here without being bothered. Once we pick the one, the front desk, Isaiah, was awesome and worked with us to negotiate a great place. He was also very friendly! Will definitely come back recommend this place! read more

BT Express Liquidators - My son with his new office chair aka gaming/homework chair. LOL - Office Equipment Near Me - San Jose, California

Incredible selection of quality furniture. At beginning of the pandemic, I purchased a standard office chair at Staples. Five years later I was realized that "temporary had become permanent" and this standard chair didn't provide needed support that I need while working from home. I almost purchased another standard chair (Costco), but decided to do some homework. Found BT Express on Yelp. Delighted they had several high end office chairs - cost was more than the Costco chair, but much lower than buying it new. Left with a barely used Steelcase office chair. Enjoying the great back support and overall quality. P.S. while @ BT I saw some cool furniture and artwork for sale. Great for someone starting off - or if you want quality, unique furniture at a good price. Also - only 1-2 people working there on Saturday - but he did a good job taking care of all customers. read more

This business lacks integrity. My advice: don't believe anything they tell you. They are dishonest and misrepresent their merchandise. Or at least this sales person was. And will rip you off if you let them. I bought two Herman Miller Aerons and a Steelcase Leap in 2022. The two Aerons were presented to me as lightly used, almost new models. Shame on me for not understanding how to read the tags under the seat to verify. There was about $200 difference price for the two Aerons, because according to the sales person, one was a couple years older size C classic model vs the newer (made in 2019) size B remastered model. That "slightly" older size C classic style was 21 years old when they sold it to me!! That's right, not a couple years older than the other remastered model but an actual 18 YEARS older. WTF. Clearly, I had sucker written all over me, as I had just moved to the Bay and due to a PODs snafu had zero furniture while being WFH. Or maybe they just lie to everyone... I came to discover this when an arm snapped off last night. And not the more typical sheared bolt repair in the arm rest adjustment but a piece of the metal frame of the arm yoke that the adjustable arm attaches to snapped off of the the chair frame and then snapped in two. Unusual for this chair unless of course it's 23 years old!!! Apparently, I should expect the seat pan to crack at any moment because it was manufactured in 2001!! What a terrible way to do business. I have actually recommended these guys multiple times, prior to discovering today how easily I had been swindled. I am going to go see how old my Steelcase is now... read more

Man oh man, my husband and I really wanted to get Herman Miller Aeron chairs, but we didn't want to pay a pretty penny for them, and we really got lucky with the chairs we bought that were literally half price and worked well. Not only does my husband thank you, but my back thanks you. We got two chairs; the woman who rang us was so helpful as well as so knowledgeable! read more

BT Express has the best selection of office furniture that I have came across with great customer service! The staff were amazing I would definitely recommend coming here and going to them for help or any questions you may have. This is the third office I'm opening up and I'm already planning my next visit! read more

I've been watching a lot of videos on ergonomic office chairs and the Steelcase Leap V2 and Herman Miller Aeron seemed to be the most popular. I wasn't sure which I would like better in person so we drove 45 minutes to check some stores in San Jose. This was one of the few open on Saturday so we stopped in. We checked one other store that was really gross before coming to BT, so this was literally a breath of fresh air! Very clean, lots of chairs. It's funny how each individual chair feels so different even in the same make and model (maybe years or wear make the difference?). I'm glad I decided to come see in person and not order online. I selected a Steelcase Leap V2 for $400 and my partner got a Steelcase Amia for $600. Good deals, especially since they were clean and very gently used. One thing to be aware of is that they do not offer any warranty or returns. read more

Needed an ergonomic office chair and wanted to find a place where I could sit on a bunch of them before deciding. I knew I wanted to check out the Herman Miller Aeron, Mirra, Embody and the Steelcase Leap V2. Ended up buying a clean Leap for $375. Selection is decent and staff are friendly. They even helped me carry the chair out to my car. Warehouse is an industrial area and they also carry tons of other office furniture - stand up desks, task chairs, tables etc. read more

Great selection and a perfect place for office stuff or house furniture. 25% of ikea prices, you have to sort out hauling.

This place is crazily overpriced. Everything in there seem like it was 2 to 3 times as much as it should've been. $300 for a used computer chair? I even saw a bench for $200 and I bought the whole table set with bench for $150 before. Big waste of time coming here read more

They treat female customers like shit. I went there this afternoon to get a couple of chairs which don't have arms. There were no other customers when I went and I gave a clear outline of what I wanted to the sales person. The sales person told me that they had a few options - though these were difficult to sell. They then showed me the area where the chairs were and asked me to look around and went back to their desk - clearly disinterested in making a sale. No showing around, no asking what I wanted, no suggesting options, no picking the chairs up from the stack. Just told me that they are out there, find out for yourself. I still looked around - I had come that far and wanted to see if I could find the chair I wanted to purchase. As I was looking around, another customer (a man) came in and said they wanted to pick up a few chairs. The sales person followed them along like a puppy, asking questions, showing them various options. They had questions for the salesguy and were asking for options and he was eagerly answering them suggesting different options which might work, picking up chairs from the stack to show them and so on. By this point, I had found a chair that might work - but I had a few questions about it and wanted to ask about the price & delivery for 2 such chairs. I called the sales person, who said they'd be right with me and followed the other customer around jotting down details they mentioned. The other customer instead told him that they had several items they needed to factor in and it'd be better to help me out first which would give them some time to look around - he ignored this suggestion and kept attending to them. After several minutes, the sales guy was still ignoring me and attending to the other customer - to the point where they felt awkward and told the guy that he should probably go help me out first. This was the 2nd time they suggested he should go help me. The sales guy still didn't seem to care - telling them he wanted to make sure he noted down all the details of things they wanted. At that point, I decided to walk out and purchase the chair elsewhere (which I did - for 50% less!) . Their selection is severely overpriced and I found that the way they 'display' the chairs doesn't make it easy to even see them - let alone sit on one and see if it works. Shop at this place only if you are a misogynist or are fond of sales people who ignore you. read more

I purchased a Steelcase Leap v2 in excellent condition for a fraction of the chair's retail price. The ladies working in the front were welcoming and one, in particular, did a great job of explaining the chair's features and even sat down with me to demonstrate the range of customizations. Compared to other office liquidators, I felt that the quality and quantity of products at BT Express were superior. I highly recommend stopping by and taking a look at what they have to offer! read more

Great selection and service. I found a good chair that was the right size and the right price.

I'm a bit disappointed because they advertised on the Craiglist, saying they have many Herman Miller Aeron size B chairs for $799. I arrived today and there's none left. Only a few size C and A. Neither are for average person between 5-6ft. If you plan to visit this place for Herman Millier, you better call before you go. As for size A and size C chairs, the quality is pretty bad. Some adjustment is not working and I believe they are at most okay to so-so condition. But they only sell them for $599 so I won't complain too much. I was thinking of giving them a 1 star but the owner Tim is actually very straightforward and honest. He told me a few very nice, China-imported like new ergo chair, copy-cat chair. Each of them is selling for $499, where Staple sells these "Eurotech High Back Mesh Task Chair" for $699. He is blunt about they are copy-cat. I like his style. I walked away with Teknion Contessa chair. I paid $399 for an all mesh one. (and they have $349 for half-mesh ones). In short, not a bad place if you want to get some discount ergo stuff. All sales are final, and they accept all major credit cards. So maybe, I will give them 3.5 star. read more

This place was great! We were in the Sunnyvale area and searched up on Yelp for used office equipment. This place came up and we drove here. There was parking along the side of the building and not a lot of people were here. I needed a new chair and this place had so many selection ranging from $25 up to probably $400 as far as chairs were concerned. Almost everything we saw at this place was for sale from tables, desks, lamps, conference phones, stools, and even receptionist counters. The staff were friendly to me and they told me that the chairs in the carpeted area (front of the building) were slightly used and would be the more expensive ones versus the ones in the back of the building. I bought a chair for 1/4 of the price of a brand new one so I was happy I saved so much money for a good chair. I'll definitely come back if I need to buy any other office furniture or equipment for a lot less. read more

Bought a Workrite Sierra HX table and a Steel case leap v2 chair. They are in pretty good shape, really happy with the purchase. They are really helpful. We need to carry those up to 2nd floor using stairs. They help me disassemble the table legs per our request to reduce weight that we have to carry up stair. Thanks Sergio who works on it and of course manager that allow him to spend time on this. read more

I needed a new/better desk chair and got a fantastic one at a good price. The ladies at the front showed me several options that met my requirements and spent plenty of time answering all my questions. They have a clean, bright, well organized showroom and warehouse space, and that alone sets them apart from some of their local competition. I'm glad I found them and will try them first for my next home office needs. read more

I have purchased office furniture from BT Express several times over the years, including recently. Yesterday, Arceli proved once again how valuable she is. Not only has she patiently helped me pick out exactly what I've needed, yesterday -- when my electric standing desk wasn't cooperating, with an error code I didn't understand -- she kindly and immediately sent her technician who happened to be making a delivery near my out-of-area office! Now that's the kind of customer service we can usually only dream of these days! Brava to this women-owned business doing a terrific job! I recommend it without hesitation to anyone with small or large office furnishing needs. read more

Selection is good. They have both new and used office furnitures. Huge inventory of fire proof metal file cabinets, office tables, chairs and desks. Most desks are stacked on top of one another, so hard to examine. Prices are expensive, though. read more

I'm in the process of furnishing an corporate office for the first time, and everyone at BT Express has been beyond helpful. I've gotten great information on brands as well as fantastic delivery and set up service. They even stayed a few minutes late when I got caught in traffic on the way over and helped me load up my car when I arrived! I've been calling at least three times a week for the past two weeks or so, and I've been immediately answered every time. The service has been outstanding, and the prices are very reasonable. I'm incredibly impressed-- they've made the whole moving-in experience very easy. read more

Large selection and great customer service. Starting up my business and found all the furniture from this one place. Will be back and recommend. Thanks Lisa read more

My wife and I are furnishing a new professional office . Lisa and her team were very helpful in assisting us in picking out everything we needed. From our waiting room to main office tables and chairs as well as a great sofa! Truly pleasure doing business with BT Express. Warehouse team was great in helping us load furniture into our truck as well! read more

Several trips over many years have always yielded excellent finds as well as attentive helpful customer service. Highly recommend.

The lady that I dealt with was dishonest. The tag on the shelves had a reduced price $20 less than the original price. Didn't realize that she charged us the higher price since we bought a few items. When we went back to tell her that she charged incorrectly. She had taken the reduced price stickers off and said that there was no reduced price. She also told us that the prices were non- negotiable and then she was giving a reduced price to another customer. Not sure why she discriminated against us because I am a woman or because I am Asian. Will recommend not dealing with her. Walk away if she is the one who wants to help you. Would give her zero stars, but we had dealt with the other people- workers, and really appreciated their honest service. It is unfortunate that one rotten apple can make the whole experience sour and I have to rethink ever going back again. read more

Tim posted to my last review, nearly 1/2 a year later....Take a note customers. To answer him simply I was looking for 6 foot, and 8 foot folding rectangular tables. (As stated in my first review) These tables sell New in the 40 to 60 range. BT was well organized, and well stocked. Their prices for used tables were 45 to 65 each, so 100% of new item retail for used merchandise. My frustration with them led me to Craigslist where I bought more tables than I could use for just under $200. Won't be back, and will make sure no one I know goes here! read more

We needed to furnish a whole new building we are moving into. BT Express Liquidators was great start to finish. Araselly took great care of us from suggestions, to ordering and finally the great delivery experience. We never leave reviews but it is so rare to find such great service anywhere. We will be back for all our furniture needs. read more

Bought a perfect chair for myself a year ago, spent at least 3 hours literally trying to sit on each and every one (believe me they have a pretty big space there full of everything). Got back to buy another one for my wife. Great price, they helped us to choose a best one for a buck. Will get back again when need to buy more. Thanks! read more

I would give this place 1 star, but their selection of office chairs is actually pretty good. I'll get straight to the point. The main reasons I'm giving them one star: 1. Bad service - The one lady in the store literally didn't even bother to look at me when I was looking around. She was texting away on her phone, and it was really annoying because I could hear every ping that was going back and forth. After she answers three of my questions, she goes back and sits behind her desk and onto her phone. I was extremely turned off at that point. 2. Prices - I did some research before, during, and after I went to BT Liquidators and on the same Human Scale Liberty brand chairs (USED), their prices were about $50 more than another local office supply store. It was marked $350 and the other store was selling them for $295. I don't really care a lot about the $50 difference, but it was clear to me that the lady didn't even want to bother explaining anything about the chair. Good points that I should mention to be fair: 1. Good selection of office chairs. 2. It's not crowded. As in, there was one man with his daughter. read more

If you're looking for awesome, ergonomic office furniture - look not further! Great prices and great service! I was hoping for a super ergonomic desk chair, and set my sights on a Haworth Zody Task Chair. I started my search on Craigslist, and a listing came up for this place! They are selling certain fabrics of these chairs at $299, which is a STEAL. I purchased the chair and had some trouble with it, but BT was willing to work with me and help me resolve the issue. I was so happy that I actually purchased another for work, and will probably be purchasing another for my husband very soon! Ambience: It's exactly what you'd think inside - a used furniture store with lots of furniture everywhere. There is a clear "front" and "back" of the store though - it's not a warehouse. Nothing fancy but very suitable. Service: They have a responsive, reasonable folks working there who are willing to help each customer individually to ensure they get what they hope for. Shoutout to Araselly who has fantastic in answering all my questions! Location: Great central Sunnyvale location. Easy to find with a sign at the front of the building. 3 Key Tips: 1) Awesome gently-used furniture for your home office or actual office! 2) All sales are final. 3) Have them double-check all the mechanics of any chair you choose to buy before you take out the door to ensure that nothing is broken and that you understand how it works. read more

This place is great for ANY kind of office/warehouse furniture. They are very nice and accommodating. I've been here several times, purchased from them three times, and they were great every time. You can't beat great prices and great service! The only problem I've ever had with them is when they sold something I wanted before I could buy it. I'm sure I'm not the only one who knows about these guys. read more

I tried to purchase a storage cabinet for our office-I called 3 times over 2 days: The first time I called, I spoke to a woman, she took my email address down and said the would email me shortly with a picture of what they had to save me a 30 minute drive each way- That email never came, so I waited until the next day and spoke to the same woman, and she assured me that it would come today, after it didn't show up in my inbox the second time, I called a third time and spoke to a gentleman that told me he was busy but he could try... I was frustrated at that point and just told him forget it, they clearly don't want my business. I don't know in what world this is acceptable customer service.. Customer Service is a 0 Thank you but no thank you, I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

We went to a number of liquidators looking for furniture for our new startup. I can tell you that Tim really gets it. He knows how to make deals happen and he understands his business. There is a reason why he went from his garage to being one of the largest liquidators in the area. They have an enormous selection of high quality new and used office furniture. He prices everything himself so you know that you won't overpay and he is consistent with pricing. While its probably possible to troll through craigslist and find cheaper deals here and there, Tim and BT is worth their weight in gold in just getting everything you need done quickly and delivered so painless and hassle-free at great prices! Thanks Tim, you'll definitely get an honorable mention in the book! heh. Just a tip, if you bring in a 12-pack of michelob ultra, he'll give you the friends and family discount. read more

I found these guys on Craigslist while looking for a bookcase. I needed to match one we had borrowed and trashed (oops). I found the EXACT bookcase here for $30 bucks, it was in a bit better condition than the one I had borrowed. Anyone, they have a couple of acres of warehouse space (no exaggeration) dedicated to used office furniture, with a smaller showroom of new stuff up front. If you have to furnish an office, come here and negotiate a cheap price for used stuff in good shape. A lot of nice stuff, plus a HUGE collection of secure file cabinets and desks from ex military contractors. The sales staff is great, and the warehouse staff is very helpful. We had to remove the back seat of my car, the guys happily helped me out. It doesn't get any better than this. read more

When I phoned about standing desks, the receptionist suggested that they had all sorts of new and used stuff, and I should come on down and check 'em out. What she didn't mention was that they were closing in another hour and half (3pm), and I oughta hustle. I was a little frustrated when I went to open the locked front door (with the open sign tucked inside). But then the owner came out and let me in (despite the fact that they'd closed 15 minutes before), cheerfully showed me around, and explained that the receptionist was new, and that he'd been out when I called or he would've told me what he had. It's a giant space, with all sorts of good stuff, and they certainly are pleasant to work with! read more

They are more expensive than other liquidators and their stuff is older and out of style. But if you need 100 chairs from the 80s that all look alike you can probably find them there. read more

We picked up bunch of stuff including conf. room table, chairs, filing cabinets and cubes from them. Tim is an excellent sales person and very nice guy. They definitely can give you a good deal on used office equipment. To those who are looking for a great deal, I would suggest to just go straight to these guys. No reason to shop around when these guys give you the best price there is. I personally think we couldn't have gotten a better deal anywhere else for quality of the furniture that we got. I definitely recommend checking them out for price, selection and customer service. read more

Great Business, I'm expanding my Helicopter company and I needed lots of chairs and other items. I got first class service from Tim, I wanted used chairs as I have lots of things to get but they were in first class condition and Tim worked a deal for me where I think I saved 3-4 thousand on what I would have to have paid for new. I also picked up some new items and probably saved over 30% on them. I was in and out in less than 20 mins and the guys loaded everything into my trailer and secured it for me. I will most certainly be going back as I need more items. Five star treatment***** read more

Tim and Mike are super nice and helpful to help us to choose an ideal chair for our home office! The price is really reasonable and we even got a 5% discount in the end Highly recommend to anyone who're looking for chairs or all other office furnitures!! read more

The building is MASSIVE and they have a ton of stuff. Everything from top notch Herman Miller Aeron's (around $500) to equipment that looks straight out of a chemical lab. Although I was unable to find what I was looking for, I ended up spending an hour exploring the multiple rooms and left with a very positive opinion of the employees and the company as a whole. If you are in the market for used office furniture this is a great place to go! Knowing what they have - If I need office furniture in the future, this is the place I will go. read more
