There are desk chairs, waiting room chairs, filing cabinets, desks and a large variety of office stuff. They didn't have any monitors at the time I went (technically electronics), but they did have desks. You do have to look around as its a warehouse of office furniture. They're open Thurs-through Sunday. They accept cash, checks and credit cards. I tried to give some cash to support this small business. In the past I've donated office furniture and am pleased to now find something new for my office! Enter in through the long driveway and go all the way to the back to park. It looks like a warehouse because it is! Not a retail storefront...

It is clear that they truly want to help their customers find their best option. David explained aspects of long term seating that I had never considered, and helped me make an informed choice. The chair selection is second to none as far as high quality in person options. I have and will continue to recommend Berkeley Office Interiors to everyone I know, without reservation. If you are looking for a wide range of high quality seating furniture in every price range, this is the place.

Other shops look over the heads of children at the counter, not considering them as customers, but Payn's does. I would stand outside and allow my children to go in alone, ask the clerk where the item they wanted was, and then completed their transaction with respect from the clerk and pride from the children. I'm looking forward now to bringing my grandchildren there. If they don't have it, do you really need it ?

Alas the printer was defective, error code 00031, meaning internal jam. Since i had not put paper in the device and the repair online said i needed a screwdriver to repair what was likelt a daulty print head i was clear that this product was defective out of the box. Took it back for return, could not exchange as they were out of stock. I let the guy working the register know, he was disinterested when I told him the specific error code explaining why it was defective and not apologetic. Not that a defective printer out of the box is his fault but a basic principle of customer service is to acknowledge the customer's inconvenience and express interest in understanding the issue. So whatever, i don't need pampering per se and i know retail can be soul crushing work but i see how this place came by its low rating honestly.

While they didn't purchase any of our equipment (understandably, since most of it was heavily used and we didn't have multiples), the fee they charged to haul everything out and clean up was more than fair especially compared to other liquidators we looked into. The crew was efficient, friendly, and communicative throughout the entire two-day process. I'd definitely recommend them to any company planning a move or needing to offload office equipment.

Lots of parking, there's a sweets food truck parked near us and there were customers coming in and out. We were trying to find a poster tube to hold some posters so we could enjoy a concert later on. Sadly they only had the huge massive 5 feet long ones. Absolutely not. Staff was friendly and prices are normal for an Office Depot but the fact that they didn't have anything similar in stock is a bit disappointing. Especially since, people go to Office Depot to get office and shipping supplies?

My program was only 3 page of content and 4th page (back page) nothing Then I remembered Copy World. I figured they do a lot of printing especially for all the Cal students. I went it and the gentleman helped me. luckily I have saved the pages individually on a flash drive and brought with. He told me some of the formatting was off, but he kindly fixed it for me. I also wanted to get a poster for have at the front of the Church pews for people to look at and he said I could have that ready the same time. I went in on a Monday and he told me it would be ready the next day. I couldn't get there until Wednesday, but the programs came out beautiful. In a stress time, where funeral programs are generally a last minute item, make sure you stop here. He told me that they the programs are generally last minute but they always make it work.

A must for us every single visit is the Honey Glow pineapple -- if you haven't tried one, you're missing out. They are incredibly sweet, almost like biting into pure sugar, but in the most natural and refreshing way. It's the kind of fruit that's hard to find at your average grocery store, and Berkeley Bowl delivers consistently. Beyond the pineapple, the quality across the board is impressive. The blueberries are plump and flavourful, the oranges are bright and juicy, and the wider fruit selection never fails to catch our eye. It's clear that real care goes into sourcing what ends up on those shelves. For anyone living in or passing through the East Bay, Berkeley Bowl is absolutely worth a stop. It's one of those places that makes grocery shopping genuinely enjoyable, and the produce alone is reason enough to visit.

I haven't been at the spot in really long time. And every time I come here I remember why I used to…read morelove it so much. They have absolutely everything and the price is a reasonable. Not as reasonable as they used to be back in the day, but reasonable enough. I love the bulk section of foods. And I love the fact that the organic food is not as expensive as it is in other places, but it has a really good quality. They have a nice selection of foods and you can get a lot of different things. They do have some specialty sections, such as English foods, Italian foods, Mexican foods, Asian foods, etc. I can cook something from another cuisine and often find those ingredients there. I could find lime leaves for a dish that I was making and they only cost $.99. They also have banana leaves that I can buy if I want to use. The meat counter is nice and the people who work there are generally very nice. Another thing I like about the store is that it's nice and clean. The aisles are OK and you can pass by. And when waiting in line for your food if people are shopping, it can get a little crowded, but it's not uncomfortable. The only thing I would tell you not to do here is to return something because they do not want to give you your money back even when you do have a receipt. And when they do give you your money, you get all kind of attitude. I would suggest coming here, which is something that I do when I'm in the area. I usually go to the other Berkeley bowl because it's closer to the freeway and I can drive up quite quickly. But I forgot, this used to be a Safeway, so unlike their original location, which is now a car dealership, and before that was a bowling alley, this space was built for retail of food. I like that I can always find something here when I need to.
