OUR TEAM
Our Story:
What began as a small operation in 1993 by Jay Crisford has now become one of the top rated office furniture companies in Texas. Our first store opened on Harry Hines Boulevard with 10 trailer loads of pre-owned traditional desk/credenza sets with a vision of bringing quality pre-owned furniture to Dallas from all points in the United States. Due to our commitment to customer satisfaction, great products, and amazing services we expanded to North Dallas in 2019 and have now added the finest new office furniture lines to our offerings.
Throughout the years we have completed thousands of offices while working with the clients, their architects, and interior designers. From the small business office to towering buildings containing major corporations we can almost guarantee you have seen our work. We strive to provide the city of Dallas with great service and a team you can count on.
Front Desk Office Furniture continues to grow and evolve into a more efficient and better company while never forgetting about our core values and the amazing clients that helped us become the company we are today.
We appreciate the opportunity to earn your business and are very excited to work with you.
Our Mission:
To provide the business community with a high level of value through quality products, reasonable pricing, and friendly and knowledgeable staff.
