Office furniture in Australia: prices and how to order

Updated 2 November 2026

An office desk in Australia costs about A$170 to A$270 when it is basic, and designer or executive desks cost A$830 to A$2,800. A mesh task chair starts near A$245, and premium ergonomic chairs run from roughly A$1,000 to A$3,500. These are approximate prices from sellers' websites, November 2026. For current offers on your exact set-up, describe what you need in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Local standards and warranties to check

The standard most often cited for commercial office chairs in Australia is AS/NZS 4438:1997, which sets minimum requirements for height-adjustable swivel chairs, including performance, durability, stability and safety. Ask the seller which standard a chair meets. Warranties vary widely: basic domestic-grade furniture often carries a 12-month guarantee, while professional office furniture commonly has 5, 7 or even 10 years. Many commercial warranties assume single-shift use, roughly eight hours a day and forty hours a week, so check the conditions before you equip a busy team. Goods are covered by the Australian Consumer Law, so ask for the warranty terms in writing.

Season and timing

Office furniture is not seasonal, but the calendar still matters. November is late spring here, and summer runs from December to February, so a delivery in those months can happen in heat. Ask for a morning delivery window, and do not leave boxed furniture in a hot garage or storage unit while assembly waits.

Delivery and assembly in your city

Sellers in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide quote delivery to the city where the furniture will stand, so give the suburb and postcode. Write dimensions in centimetres and weights in kilograms, including the width, depth and height of the desk and the clearance for stairs or a lift. Ask whether assembly is included in the price, and say whether you want new or used goods.

What to put in your request

Describe the item and the quantity in your own words, then add the dimensions, material and features you want, such as drawers, cable trays or a sit-stand mechanism. Say whether you need new or used, the delivery city, whether you need assembly, and your budget. A photo of the room helps sellers judge the space.

On BlaBlaPrice the request is free for buyers. Describe what you need in a chat, and the service asks for missing details such as dimensions and budget. It then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Australia and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their price, terms and delivery. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide with whom to share them.
