Ordering office furniture is an exciting step in improving productivity and creating a more comfortable, efficient workplace. Whether you are furnishing a new office or upgrading your current space, understanding what to expect during delivery can make the entire process smoother.
At The Office Chair Man, we specialise in supplying high-quality refurbished office furniture to businesses across the UK. We know that delivery isn’t just about dropping off a few chairs or desks; it’s about helping you get set up quickly, safely, and with minimal disruption to your operations. From local drop-offs in Reading to large installations in London and beyond, our team is dedicated to ensuring a professional and hassle-free experience.
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to prepare for your delivery – including how long it takes, what services are available, how to prepare your space, and what happens once your furniture arrives.
Smaller, ready-to-go items can be delivered within just a few working days — larger installations may need up to 2 weeks. Planning ahead makes all the difference.
Delivery services vary depending on the supplier and the size of the order. At The Office Chair Man, we offer a flexible range of options to suit your location and business size. Whether you’re ordering a single ergonomic chair or equipping an entire floor of workstations, our goal is to get your furniture to you quickly and in excellent condition.
Here’s what you can expect from our delivery services:
Our team is experienced in navigating all types of buildings and office environments. From tight stairwells to complex access restrictions, we plan deliveries carefully to avoid delays.

Key factors that affect delivery times include:
Smaller, ready-to-go items may be delivered within a few working days, while larger, bespoke, or refurbished pieces might require a lead time of 1–2 weeks.

Clear and open communication helps avoid last-minute issues and ensures that your delivery goes off without a hitch.
A little preparation goes a long way. Ensuring your space is ready for delivery not only speeds up the process but also protects your new furniture and your property.
Steps to take before your delivery:
Our delivery teams are trained to handle a wide variety of office environments and will take care to minimise disruption. If you have any concerns, please contact us in advance and we’ll be happy to work with your facilities team.
At The Office Chair Man, we don’t just deliver office furniture – we help you get fully set up. Our preferred installation team offers professional assembly and positioning of your new furniture, saving you valuable time and effort.
What’s included in our installation service:
This service is particularly useful for businesses setting up multiple workstations or outfitting meeting rooms and breakout spaces.
Areas we regularly serve include:
We recommend installation services for any delivery involving more than a handful of items or where specialist handling is required. Our teams work quickly, cleanly, and with attention to detail to ensure you’re up and running in no time.
Large or multi-site installations can seem daunting, but with proper planning, they can be managed seamlessly.
If you’re ordering in bulk, our team will assess your requirements and prepare a delivery and installation strategy tailored to your needs.
How we manage large deliveries:
We’ve completed complex projects for corporate clients across the UK, and our goal is always to minimise downtime and disruption. Whether it’s a single-floor upgrade or a full office fit-out, we have the experience and resources to support you.
Once your delivery is complete, we encourage you to inspect all items carefully. Our team is trained to handle goods with care, but it’s always best to check that everything is in order while we’re still on-site.
Checklist for post-delivery:
If you need to report an issue or arrange a return, please refer to our Terms & Conditions or get in touch with our customer service team. We pride ourselves on honest service and will always aim to resolve problems quickly.
