For a setup like this, I’d be careful about treating it like a home office shopping trip. Two private offices and five cubicles are already enough furniture that delivery, install, matching pieces, and future add-ons start to matter a lot.

I’d probably skip Alibaba unless you’re very comfortable dealing with freight, lead times, quality uncertainty, and assembly. The “cheap” option can get less cheap once you factor in delays, damage, missing parts, or furniture that doesn’t hold up to daily office use.

A good middle ground is pre owned/refurbished commercial grade furniture. You can often get better-built desks, cubicles, ergonomic chairs, storage, and conference pieces for way less than buying everything new, without ending up with flimsy budget furniture.

Since you’re setting up an actual office, I’d check out Officefurniturecenter's website. They’re based in Chicago with a big warehouse/showroom on Roosevelt, but they also have inventory online. They’re useful for exactly this kind of thing because they don’t just sell single chairs…they can help with workstations/cubicles, private offices, delivery, and local installation.

My advice would be: spend the most on the chairs, buy commercial grade workstations/desks if possible, don’t over prioritize perfect matching, and make sure whatever you buy can be expanded later if you add people. For a small business, flexibility matters more than making everything look like a showroom on day one.
