Are you hoping to do business with a local office furniture store or dealer in Fredericton? Many providers serve the area remotely, but not nearly as many with staff who truly live and work in the local community.
To make it as easy as possible for you to differentiate which is which, we created this list of the local office furniture providers based in Fredericton. All the information used for this article is publicly available (and not my opinion).
To remain impartial, I am not going to include Office Interiors on this list. If you want to read up on why you may want to do business with us, you can do that here!
Who Are the Best Office Furniture Dealers Located in Fredericton?
Unfortunately, if you are looking to do business with a dealership that has a local showroom or sales office, your choices are limited. Most office furniture providers base their New Brunswick coverage out of either Moncton or Saint John and serve the Fredericton market remotely.
That being said, there are a few businesses that have set up shop within Fredericton:
Active Office
Active Office has been serving the NB office furniture market since 1980. Priding themselves on offering high-quality, integrated products, Active Office has been a staple in the Fredericton area for almost 40 years. They partner with Herman Miller and KI and several other manufacturers to offer a wide variety of office furniture and ergonomic products.
Covey Basics
For over 60 years Covey Basics has been a staple of the Fredericton area. In 2010 they expanded into Woodstock and Moncton to better serve the rest of the province. While still locally owned and operated, their position as part of the Basics buyers group gives them the ability to bring national scale purchasing power to bear on behalf of their customers. Their primary manufacturer partner is Global Furniture Group.
How to Choose an Office Furniture Provider
Now that you know what your options are, how do you pick which dealer should receive your hard-earned money? Based on our almost three decades of experience in the office furniture industry, we believe that there are four critical criteria that you can use to compare dealers.
Before making your purchase, ask the provider you are considering if they:
- Measure their customer service experience with a metric such as Net Promoter Score?
- Offer the ability to customize their products or solutions?
- Provide ongoing (post-sale) service and support?
- Are willing to discuss budget early (before you’ve invested hours of your time with them)?
To get a more detailed breakdown of these criteria, you can read more about choosing the right office furniture dealer in our article Four Things to Look for in an Office Furniture Provider.
