If you can, find an office liquidation sale as it happens. Oct 2019 - prepandemic - 2 regional banks merged, and one office was put in to "sale" mode. A local company came in to manage selling everything (or.... they may have just bought it all themselves up front for a song then resold?)

I picked up 16 Steelcase Amia chairs (plus 2 others). Had them delivered to my office. They took away 10 old crappy chairs we had to the dump. Total price was $635. For 18 chairs.

It was a bargain, to be sure. I'm not sure what effect covid will have had on the whole 'office furniture liquidation' process, but there's likely bargains to be had before things get to the 'office liquidation company' warehouse.
