What Our Customers
Are Saying

Great experience working with Laura and Nathan (at the Warehouse). Both of them are very knowledgeable and were able to accommodate our office. We have used them more than once and have been satisfied each time.

The Thrifty staff in Wilmington was a pleasure to work with. Mark did such a great job selling the right product for my office needs. I enjoy working with Mark because he is not a pushy salesman and treats his customers the way they should be treated. I highly recommend them to anyone that I talk to in of need office furniture. Great prices and great customer service.

Rob Thorne

Port City Mortgage

Excellent customer service, pricing and selection. Salesperson Tamara Balderas very knowledgeable and very helpful in my selection of replacement office chair. In fact, I changed my selection due to feedback from Tamara resulting in better chair for my needs (I use at least 5 hours daily). Been customer of this office for over 10 years…in my opinion, best place for office furniture.

I purchased from the satellite location in Wilmington, NC and from day one I was treated like family. Thanks for great customer service, aggressive pricing, and selling quality products. You really know how to help a small business out.

Jacob Carroll

Superior Insurance

For the past eight plus years, I have relied on Joel Gillis and his team at Thrifty Office Furniture to take care of our office moving and furniture needs. I already knew Joel and his company from a previous job and knew how good they are what they do; so I was very happy to find that my current company was already using them. Working with the same reliable Thrifty employees year after year means that they know our facility and our needs. Joel often makes suggestions to save us time and money. The Thrifty workers complete the job on time. No project has been too small or too large.

Excellent customer service from start to finish. Great competitive pricing and wonderful communication. Thanks for a fabulous and easy transaction. Thrifty will definitely be the first vendor I call from now on for my office furniture needs.

The Thrifty team is awesome! Great experience with Sales and Installation. Quick and easy to deal with and the price you can't beat! Thank you, Thrifty, for making our office set up as smooth it could have been.

I have worked with Thrifty Office Furniture for over 10 years. They have worked on projects of various sizes from finding single pieces of furniture to performing a large scale office move. We have used them for our office needs in our multiple locations throughout the state of North Carolina. No matter what the size of the job, I have always been satisfied. I particularly enjoyed working with Joel Gillis. He is knowledgeable, reliable, and best of all, dependable. I've never known them to miss a deadline and they communicate well with us before, during, and even after the project is done. I like their product lines. Their prices are reasonable. They are flexible enough to help us find custom vendors when we require it, and do not just use off the rack solutions. I can't say enough good things about Thrifty. I heartily recommend them for your business office furniture and solutions.

Thank you so much for your prompt delivery and low maintenance handling of our recent furniture purchase. Dale and Clayton as usual were awesome...they come in with their quiet presence - get the job done and then move on. They are always a pleasure to see and very helpful to me. Jared and the ladies in the office were always a phone call away when I needed to call with my aggravating questions and needs. And Joel: thank you for your gift of hiring the best. That is why NCSBA is always calling Thrifty for our furniture needs and advice.

We were in the process of constructing a new facility. We followed the advice of our executive director who suggested we visit John at Thrifty Furniture. John presented us with the HON catalog and we were just so excited because we were so used to metal chairs and the wooden tables all maybe with the little black frame. And after we saw all of this we said, “Oh perfect. This will be great.” He did not come on with a top dollar sales pitch. He said, “Take your time.” And that’s what we did. When we received quotes from other vendors, Thrifty easily came in with the lowest quote for the exact same selections. When you come into the Dreamgirls quarter, you can see them relaxed in the furniture that we purchased from Thrifty. Our reception area, where people can come in and they can relax. They don’t have to relax on a metal chair; they can relax in comfort while they’re waiting. And I’d like to say thank you to Thrifty for all your help. This has been a wonderful experience.

Tamara Balderas answered the phone and I told her who I was and what I wanted. And I gave her how many offices I need to furnish, what my budget was and what my timeframe was. And I said, “Now I’ve said that, so you may just prefer to hang up on my right now,” because it was all small budget, lots of things needed, and a very short time frame. Tamara just came through beautifully. They were very responsive. She came the next day and we measured everything. We talked about what kinds of office furniture could fit into our offices. And she got me prices within, I think the beginning of the next week, and it all went very quickly. After we got moved into our offices we realized that we needed some additional pieces. It’s hard to plan it in the beginning exactly everything that you’re going need; so we needed a couple pieces here or there and we were able to get those very quickly. Tamara worked with us and ordered those and within a few days we had those additional pieces. And that was really nice to be able to add to what we had done.

Durham Bulls

I have been dealing with Thrifty Office Furniture for probably about 10 years. They take care of all my furniture needs as far as new upfits, old buildings, old partitions, whatever I need them to do, they will put them together. They've worked in my Cary corporate office, Raleigh downtown, Durham, also worked in our Charlotte office in a haunted building. And they've worked in Georgia; three Atlanta offices, and in South Carolina. So they've been actually all over the place in the southeast for us. I trust them to be there to do what they need to do even if I'm not here. I can leave them midnight/two o'clock in the morning and they will get it done, lock up and alarm. So they are just an excellent place to deal with. There are vendors that I consider my top vendors, and they are one. They just make my job a lot easier. I highly recommend them to anybody that wants to get a job done.
