I am so happy that I discovered Tek Benches. We were looking for a refurbished electronic standing desk, and Tek Benches has an amazing selection. I found the perfect desk and the price was great. David was wonderful to work with and I will definitely be a repeat customer for future office furniture needs. I highly recommend Tek Benches to anyone looking for great office furniture at reasonable prices! read more

David was super helpful and knowledgeable in helping pick a new desk for myself. Plenty of options for you to choose from and completely transparent with the pricing. Most items are essentially in brand new condition at a steep discount and from reputable brands. Thank you for being so patient and informative, David! read more

If you're looking for great quality used (and new) office furniture combined with knowledgeable, honest people, this is the place. The showroom is CLEAN, and they have a ton of choices. I went in looking for high end - Herman Miller, Humanscale, or similar. They had the HM, priced similar to others, excellent shape but no Humanscale. I left with a very comfortable Haworth (Koby) Chair. Dave literally knew how to work all the chairs and helped me adjust all every one until I found "the" one then showed me how I could use a video on their website to remind myself how the one worked. He also showed how they clean and refurbish their inventory before setting it out for sale; impressive. The chair also came with a 1-year warranty. I'm thrilled to have a high quality chair for my home office and highly recommend Tek Benches. read more

ONE OF THE BEST! I had an amazing experience with RJ and David! They were super transparent and helpful, taking the time to guide me without any sales-y pitch or pressure. For example, I was eyeing the OM stool for its back support, but David pointed out it doesn't come with a headrest unless the manufacturer assembles it. He also mentioned that the Steelcase V2 Leap works with a 3rd-party headrest. Thanks to his honest advice, I ended up not buying either and now have a better understanding of my options. They truly care about their customers and offer a great selection of ergonomic chairs and desks. Highly recommend for top customer service + decent pricing!! read more

SERVICE Rudy is a very knowledgeable resource on the topic of chairs. Rudy took the time to assist me in my search which ended up being elsewhere, but along the way I couldn't help but notice his helpfulness and expertise that went above and beyond. I wanted to pass along this good word about this place to you prospective customers. Tekbenches has been in business since 2000! And what better place to start your search than a place that has survived in the heart of technology, the Silicon Valley. If I end up altering my chair preferences, I will not hesitate to return to Tekbenches. Thank you, Rudy! read more

I ordered a refurbished Steelcase Amia off eBay which delivered damaged and unfixable, so I decided to look at some local businesses and came across Tekbenches. Very quick responses, and they were kind enough to come pick up my old chair and bring me one in their stock. The chair they brought is in excellent condition and I didn't have to worry about dealing with the old one! Thank you so much for the great service and deal. :) read more

Incredibly helpful. I love this place! Great prices, huge selection, great quality chairs and desks. It sucks having back problems, not knowing what will help, and ergonomic stuff can be super expensive. So I was wishing some place like this existed.. and it actually does! Being able to try out a bunch of different chairs and find actually affordable options is a huge relief. I was lucky to find a couple that were in my budget and I'm very happy about that. read more

Great shop! Like others have said, it's very nice that the showroom is well lit and well kept and all of the desks are operational. The owner goes around to businesses that are liquidating their office furniture and picks the nicest desks to resell, so nothing here is beat up or broken. They have a lot of configurations, sizes, and colors. I purchased a 30x60 corporate-grade Jarvis standing desk in great shape for around $400 (would be at least $1k if new) and they delivered it to my house same day. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Really glad I went with this and not a cheap Office Depot pressboard situation for the same amount of cash. read more

Fantastic customer service from the beginning! I called asking about availability of two models and was pleasantly surprised at the selection of chairs they had in store. The model I was looking at had just come in, so David made sure to give me a heads up that they need to assess and process the chair before I would be able to view it. The next day I saw it at the showroom and he went over all the features with me and had fantastic input. He also showed me around the desk as I mentioned I was interested in one but hadn't done any research. Definitely will come back to this location and do more business. read more

I'm glad I found this company because I've been trying to get an office chair off of craigslist which was difficult and stressful, I contacted a few individuals who were either sold out, non-responsive, or shady. I found Tekbenches on a craigslist but when I emailed them to inquire about the Steelcase leap v2 chair they responded almost immediately to my email. I looked up the address provided and found that they had a solid 5-star review on yelp and everyone seemed to feel good about their purchase and the customer service they received. After a few back and forths with Rudy via email I felt really good about this decision and placed an order online and picked up the chair early the next day. The chair itself is in amazing condition, it looks brand new and I got it for an amazing price. $1000 retail brand new chair for $325 is a great steal and I've never experienced a chair more comfortable. I'd recommend this company to everyone I know. Edit: I wrote this review originally about 3-4 years ago but it has been sitting in my drafts ever since. I decided to post it today because I still have this chair and it has been amazing after so many years. I gave it to my boyfriend because when he sat in it he fell in love with it immediately and I'm happy that more people can benefit from it. :) read more

I found Tekbenches via Yelp earlier this year. The first time I went, I was overwhelmed by the stock, the options, the ability to customize. I went home and then resurfaced a couple of months later w more clarity about what I wanted. David was super patient and knowledgable both times. He will not try to upsell you. He will try to understand what you want and deliver but without trying to influence you. In my second trip I ended up selecting a desk that needed to be customized so a specific top and base, as well a Steelcase Chair. RJ and David help me finalize things and arrange a delivery as well. I have had my desk and chair for a couple of months now and I couldn't be more pleased. If you're looking for quality office furniture and a business run by people who have exceptional work ethics, then look no further. Tekbenches is it! read more

Their service: impeccable. Super friendly. Had a chair at my home office that needed a little TLC and they helped me out for an affordable rate! Dave is the man and showed me around the showroom. They have a selection that is definitely worth checking out, including this cool little guy. Stop by when you're near Japan town SJ! read more

Dave is the man!!! This place is a hidden gem for sure. If you're thinking about investing in high quality office equipment such as chairs, desks, monitor arms, etc. for home or corporate use, definitely check this place out first! They have a fairly wide selection of both used and new inventory, at extremely competitive prices. My girlfriend and I stopped by looking for a pair of secondhand office chairs for home use. Like most sensible people, we didn't really feel like dishing out $2,000 for two brand new office chairs. The used chairs here are basically like new, but at a fraction of the price! Dave was extremely helpful and friendly throughout our visits, and even texted to let me know when a new shipment came in. We were able to pick up two Allsteel chairs at a fantastic deal, and couldn't be happier! All of their used chairs are thoroughly steam cleaned and detailed (yes, DETAILED) to brand new shiny condition. It is amazing the care and attention-to-detail that they go through with refurbishing. After purchasing the chairs, Dave sanitized them once again for us, wrapped them up in thick protective plastic, and helped load them into our car. The customer service here is A+++, and Dave really made our entire experience super enjoyable. The prices, cleanliness, and quality of the products and services here simply can't be beat! We are already looking forward to our next purchase from Tekbenches! read more

Looking for new office furniture? This is the place to be! I looked at so many other places and the others just can't compare to Tekbenches in terms of customer service and cleanliness. When we arrived, we were greeted by Dave. He walked us through everything and answered all our questions. He was just a completely honest guy and I have a lot of respect for these type of salesperson. Products do not go to the showroom unless they are properly sanitized and steamed. This is what adds a lot of value to your purchase! When I toured other places, they were all in dust and just in pretty fair condition. I was also a bit skeptical when we were negotiating prices. But here at Tekbenches, you get chairs that are like new condition and Dave is always straightforward. He will also show you listings from other places to show you that his products are competitively priced. When you purchase an item, Dave will sanitize the product, bag it up, and help you to your car. I am just amazed by the customer service here. I can't wait for my next visit and purchase! read more

Awesome place to get a standing desk! David was incredibly knowledgeable and really vouched for the products that he recommended. I got both the HAT and AMQ bases with 60 inch Maple and Arctic Frost tabletops, and I couldn't be any more pleased than I am now. Rudy and Beto assisted with the delivery, and were gracious enough to disassemble and reassemble once finding out my stairwell was too narrow. I greatly appreciated their help with it, as well as showing me how to troubleshoot and take apart if I ever needed it. I'll be back in the future for a chair :) read more

Was in the market for a standing desk and wanted to obtain one with a 60x30 top with the fastest shipping time available. Called tekbenches and spoke with Rudy over the phone regarding availability for the HAT 3 base and desk. Rudy was extremely helpful in providing information over the phone about the HAT 3 desk and delivery times in general. Additionally, I was able to place my order and have the desk delivered in the same day straight to my office room by Rudy and Mariano. By far some of the most excellent customer service I have ever received. The desk itself is fantastic and exceeds my expectations. The motor is quiet yet strong enough to go up or down very easily. The top is sturdy and solid wood. I encourage anyone in the market for a standing desk to check out tekbenches. They offer superb services and products at a VERY reasonable price point. Thank you tekbenches. read more

Tekbenches is the best ! I work at a tech start up and am tasked with a wide variety of projects the require more than just me, Tekbenches has provided so much support in furnishing and relocating our facilities. The team is also extremely kind and responsive making my job significantly easier. When shopping for ESD benches pricing was extremely high and there are a wide range. Working with Tekbenches I was able to find a bench under my budget and was a better product than the other retailers I found. Rudy is a great resource and I would definitely recommend Tekbenches to any business! read more

Just got a used sit/stand desk and the service was pretty incredible. Really friendly folks, they explained how the business worked and what parts I could get for the desk. I ended up getting a workrite just because that's what I had at my last office, but they offered me new and used options for the top in whatever color I liked. For budget reasons I took the used one and they gave me a great price reflecting the condition. Delivery is pretty reasonably priced if you're in the region, and flexible to delivery location for an upcharge. read more

LOOK NO FURTHER BECAUSE YOU ARE IN CHAIR HEAVEN! Where the office equipments are top notch and the customer service is superb! I had been on the search for a Herman Miller Aeron and my friend referred me to this place. She has purchased a Herman Miller Aeron Classic a few years ago and was absolutely happy with her chair so I went ahead to reach out via email to the Tekbenches team. Rudy and David promptly responded with photos of the Aeron chairs they had in stock along with an estimate. Since I was out of town, I was unable to go in person to make the purchase but chatting with them over email was super smooth and informative. Once I was back in town, I reached out again to see if they had any in stock as Aerons are always in high demand and Rudy was once again quick to respond. I was able to find a day to come in and had the honor of meeting the two in person. David was very thorough when answering my questions about the differences between the Sizes along with the Classic vs Remaster. He even gave me a demonstration of how each chair worked and set up a desk to mimic my office at home so I could test out both types of chairs and sizes. Once I had made my decision (I went with the Size A Remastered Aeron in case anyone was wondering), David cleaned up the chair, wrapped it, and rang me up. Both David and Rudy helped packages the chair securely into my car and I was all set! David and Rudy are absolutely delightful to chat with and I would recommend all folks looking for office supplies to come here! Thank you both so much!!! ٩و read more

David and Rudy are phenomenal people - and this review is long overdue. Back in January, in preparation to start a new remote job, I knew that it would be best for my working environment (and posture) to obtain a standing desk. Searched around Yelp and visited several businesses in the Bay Area - Tekbenches by far had the largest variety of products, highest quality, best prices, and superior customer service. David and Rudy were patient in answering my numerous questions about the various desk sizes, max heights, and wood finishes. In the end, I chose a desk that looked absolutely brand new for a fraction of the cost. These are the heavy duty desks that are sold to corporate offices! Very high quality. They even attached a tray to the bottom of the desk as I wanted something to hold all the wires I would have in place. David also kindly delivered to my house and brought the desk upstairs for me - and didn't even accept a tip! Great people and I highly recommend this business. read more

I was looking to purchase a stand up desk for my home office and David was awesome with his help. He was able to explain what was available and differences between the models. I ended up getting 72 inch stand up desk that I LOVE. Desk has been working great, qualify is very high and my desk just looks awesome. I could not have been happier. If you're in need of a new desk or chair...David at TekBenches is your man. Highly recommend it!!! read more

Was looking for a new home office set up and came across this place from a post on craigslist. I'll admit one of the things that turned me off from this place was that their post had dozens of Aeron chairs, Steelcase chairs, etc; but when you contact them, they said they are sold out of Aerons. I ended up calling them and going in on almost a whim, expecting to walk away with a Steelcase Think v2. I walked away with an Aeron (I got lucky apparently) and an amazing standing desk. The visit: You should call and make an appointment. When you show up, they require a mask and have ample amounts of hand sanitizer for you to use. The chairs are stored in the back and the desks up front from the "show room". The whole business is a warehouse with half being the showroom and the other half being where they service their incoming stock. While I was there, it was apparent that two people are running the front end. They were doing their best to get everyone in/out the door. I spent over an hour here watching them get a dozen online orders set up and out the door and take care of 4 walk ins. I would sometimes be annoyed with the amount of time I was there, but they were extremely apologetic for the time spent waiting and offered me soda and water multiple times. The purchase: As mentioned, I bought a desk and a chair. Both were used but were in pristine condition. The desk was a used Kesselbohmer frame with a new laminate top. The desk was rock solid at the highest level of elevation which sold me in a heartbeat. The chair was an Aeron. Nothing special about it. It was in great condition and they order new foam pads and install them in every chair. Both cost me about $900 out the door. The service: When I walked up, I simply asked if they had an Aeron I could sit in to see what it was like. They said they'd have to check and about 20 minutes later, the guy came out with a huge smile saying "I got you!" After looking at Think v2's and then sitting in the Aeron, I was sold... or at least the chair was. He inspected the chair incredibly closely before wrapping it up and setting it aside for me. They wrap all chairs in a huge plastic bag to protect it from dust and some damage, not a custom foam package, but hey. It's effective. Onto the desk! They were busy helping another person who got there before I did. Again, spent over an hour not because it was slow, but because they were doing everything they could to make sure every customer was taken care of. The guy before me got the same desk as I did and they assembled the desk to his liking, helped him load it in his car with cardboard for cushioning and he was on his way. I knew I couldn't bring the desk home in one piece or bring it up stairs in my house. They showed me how to take the desk legs off and assemble it to make sure I would be okay. When I finally decided on the desk, they assembled the desk and then tested it to make sure it was all okay. The crazy part here, the desk had a minor jostle that was noticeable but could be deemed as acceptable. They refused to sell me that desk with the control unit and swapped the control unit for another one that didn't have this issue. When they helped load the desk, they gave me loads of cardboard to act as buffers and wrapped the top of the desk to make sure it didn't get damaged. Fast forward 2 days when I set up the desk: I installed it just as they told me to, including hooking up the legs as they had marked. Then my heart sunk. The desk wouldn't rise. Only one side raised about 5 inches and the other didn't budge. When I tried to lower it, the raised one wouldn't budge and the static one lowered! I emailed Tekbenches about this issue and they gave me instructions on how to reset the control unit and said if I couldn't get it working, they'd replace get it taken care of. Thankfully, the desk worked after I swapped the control signals. The fact that they were willing to come to the home and debug it for me during this crazy Pandemic was pretty amazing. TL:DR Overall they definitely have a great selection and great quality products with very competitive prices. Their service is amazing and you can tell they care about their customers. read more

Came in to pick up the chair I ordered from their website and ended up leaving with a second chair for my sister. I got a Herman Miller Mirra 2 and she got a Steelcase Think chair. Rudy and David were both super friendly and nice. David was very friendly and enthusiastically answered any questions we had. They cleaned the chairs very thoroughly and helped us load them into our car. A+ service and great prices, thanks David and Rudy! read more

Tekbenches - Steelcase Think chair and Herman Miller Mirra 2 - Office Equipment Near Me - San Jose, California

Came here this past week and Dave helped me. He's very personable, & knowledgeable, oh and patient! I was there for a good hour and couldn't decide on a chair till about 5pm (when they close..). He didn't rush me either, but I knew I needed to go because of the time. Rudy was there as I was checking out, and he's really nice too. Dave wrapped the chairs in a sturdy bag and put them in the back seat. I almost didn't come here because the chairs I saw on their site were out of my price range, but when I came in I saw he had others that were cheaper, just not posted on their site. They're moving into a 2nd location a few doors down in a few weeks. It's bigger and I think Rudy said that location is going to have more executive chairs, but this location will still be open. I'd recommend anyone looking for an office chair to come here!! read more

Both David & RJ are exceptional individuals. They are exactly the type of businessmen whom I enjoy working with. I had purchased a Herman Miller used desk from out of state and had it shipped to my office. I purchased a used Herman Miller Aeron 2023 chair, Herman Miller Renew sit to stand 70" desk along with (2) leather guest chairs and other items directly from Tekbenches. I requested their assistance with configuring the out of state desk. They arrived to the office with all of the their items that I purchased in the quality and condition that was advertised and agreed upon. They also brought along an additional hand a cart with their tools and cleaning supplies. The used desk that had arrived from out of state had a lot of smudges and marks that I was concerned about the overall appearance. They took proactive measures to clean the desk, legs, sides and the bottom components that often are over looked. It just looks better than I could have hoped for. They were familiar with working with the Herman Miller furniture that they configured the office in a manner that would work comfortably for me. As a rookie in the pre-used furniture market place would have not know to look out for and set up the room in an incorrect manner. I am so glad that I chose to choose these individuals that went above and beyond for me. Just an ultimate pleasure to work with. read more

Rudy & David helped us upgrade our office from mixed IKEA furniture to modern ergonomic options. They helped us pick some great Sit Stand Desks, Comfortable desk chairs, & Conference tables. They were ready with solutions and fair pricing. The shopping part was easy and they were very communicative, which is a huge help. However, they really shone when it came time for delivery! Delivery day was excellent, they went above and beyond to carry all the furniture up the stairs in our 1960s office building (no elevator... again, sorry guys). They assembled everything and left our office feeling like a brand new space. Afterwards, we did run into a small issue with some slight buckling in our desks (we ordered a custom size), and they responded immediately and helped us adjust the desks to solve the problem. They made sure we were satisfied at every step of our purchase. Rudy & David have great attitudes and are so positive. You can tell they care about the work they do. I could not recommend them more highly. We will definitely be back in the future for any furniture needs. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Tekbenches. I learned about them through my old workplace and I was looking for a place where I could try out chairs. I ended up buying a couple of office chairs, later coming back for a standing desk and some monitor mounting arms. My first time I sent an email to determine their availability. They responded to my request quickly via email and I was in the showroom within 48 hours. We even came at the end of the day and they stayed a little bit after closing cleaning and bagging up the chairs. David was generous with his time and knowledge telling us about the chairs and provided helpful recommendations based on how we found the chairs. A second time I called in to stop by the show room and my call was answered immediately and I found myself in there once more later in the afternoon. David once again spent a lot of time telling us about the options we had for desks, what they could do in terms of customization, and their very good prices. We were able to get exactly the desk we wanted along with a couple of really nice monitor mounts. They even went the literal extra mile and RJ dropped off the desk and helped us set it up in our home. I later found that a bracket on one of the mounts was broken and they replaced them. We had a friend over later and they like the mount so much I sent them away with one and we went back a third time to buy another mount. To say I was extremely impressed with my experience with Tekbenches is an understatement. The service, pricing, and passion they provide make them a pleasure to work with. I feel confident in my purchase and I know that if there are any issues that I will be well taken care of. If you are interested in outfitting your home office or getting your business office set up I highly recommend working with Tekbenches. read more

We just moved into a new apartment very recently and were looking for sit/stand desks, somehow came across Tekbenches on craigslist of all places. When we first walked into the shop, we were greeted by David who was very passionate and knowledgeable when it comes to these desks. It was an educational experience nonetheless and he offered us a banging deal on 2 AMQ frames with brand new tops. He even delivered them to our place the same day. We've been using them for a few days now and they're quality stuff. Not even a hint of wobble. Would definitely recommend to anyone who's looking for office furniture in the area. read more

After shopping around for way too long I ended up finding a really good deal on a very tall and wide high-quality standing desk.

I made the trek from the East Bay over to Tekbenches and am so glad I did! I got a gorgeous sit/stand desk, monitor arms, and locking pedestal drawers that would have cost way more anywhere else (even on Craigslist).

Absolutely great guys! I was looking for an office chair and new desk. I had already decided on a specific chair when I went in. David was happy to show me the chair but also showed me a few other options that I might be interested that were cheaper! I wasn't that concerned with the cost of the chair but I thought that was awesome that he was more interested in me being happy with my purchase than trying to get more money out of me. I ended up liking one of the other chairs he suggested and it happened to be 200.00 cheaper! They also set me up with a desk at a great price. What a great experience! I cannot recommend enough! read more

I started my chair researching adventure at Tekbenches and ended up meeting David and Rudy. They were easy to talk to, passionate and knowledgeable about their business. I learned a lot the day I spent there. The chairs they sell are not just product numbers with no care for their history. They do their research and best to provide high quality products. I ended up going with an Amia from Steelcase and the clean up job they do is amazing. I mean it when I say they really care about what they're selling. I haven't experienced any issues with my chair but if I did I trust that I'd be in good hands. Thanks for the great chair. -Eddie read more

HERMAN MILLER AERON size B "Tuxedo " and 2 Zody Task Chairs. Rudy provides an exceptional customer service, knowledgeable, courteous, personable with a good sense of humor. He was very patient with us while we choose our chairs. Warehouse: clean, organized and well kept. He did mention that he will open a new storage in the compound. Merchandise /items: they sell quality items. You'll never notice that the items as used because he is very meticulous in choosing them. Although, they have some brand new with tags office and home furniture. Price: overall, prices are higher now everywhere compared to before pandemic due to inflation and supply chain issues. Otherwise, they still offers reasonable - competitive prices depending on the brand and quality of the item (ex. Herman Miller, steelcase, etc). Customer service: Rudy was super patient with us, probably took as a good 1 hr to choose. He takes time to explain the specs (and compare) of the chair. He knows the function of each button and lever to help us maximize the use of it. He even delivered the chairs after an hour of purchasing to our address. The chairs were disinfected, cleaned, and secured in plastic coverings. In addition, he sent us video link (manual) for both Aeron and Zody chairs. Overall, We are 100% satisfied with our purchase and Rudy was just amazing as he goes above and beyond with his service and enthusiasm. Until our next transaction! read more
