Waldner's Business Environments. Our Mission

For over 60 years, our clients have depended on us to offer more than quality office furniture. The founding values of service and reliability have guided Waldner's over the years and continue to do so today.

Our business started in 1939, Daniel Waldner borrowed $1,500 to start an office supply store in New York. As one of the area's business-to-business pioneers, Daniel recognized early in his career that business customers need more than simply office supplies. Added-value services, customer support and a thorough understanding of the workplace environment were vital to their growing companies. As a result, we continued to prosper and became known as "The Department Store for the Office World." To offer even more choice and value to our customers, we began supplying office furniture in 1947 and soon became one of the leading full-service dealers in the New York Metro area. In 1965, we moved to Farmingdale, our current Long Island location, to accommodate our growth and to better service our customers. In 1984, we opened a facility in Rye, New York, to support the greater Westchester and Fairfield business communities. And a few years later in 1991, we acquired a dealership in Manhattan to be even closer to our New York City client base. Today, Stephen Waldner and President and CEO John Gallivan - together with a superior workforce - have positioned our company to service the emerging global community with the same values of service and reliability that our customers have come to expect since 1939.

Choose among a broad variety of options from employee workspaces and meeting rooms to specialized trading desks, legal record-keeping libraries, lobby kiosks and specially designed computer terminals.

Furniture for Education

Experienced in education, we've helped furnish large-scale university campuses, prestigious libraries, training facilities and national testing labs, so we're exceptionally familiar with the challenges and needs of an educational environment.

Furniture for Healthcare

Furniture for Home Offices

In home offices, the space between professional and personal is blurred. We'll recommend furnishings that will complement the rest of your home's decor. Design and furnish your home workplace to suit your personal style, budget, and function and harmoniously integrate your work with your life.

PREOWNED: Like-new furniture at an affordable price.

In any economy, it sometimes makes sense to augment your inventory with remanufactured or previously owned furnishings that offer significant cost savings and yet still blend well with your existing furniture.

Partners such as Revest and AIS specialize in remanufactured furniture, which involves replacing worn parts and electrical components and then refinishing the furniture in a more contemporary style. Also available through our partners are previously owned office furnishings, suitable for quick acquisition to fulfill the needs of temporary office environments and limited budgets.

If you are interested in banking, exchanging, selling, or buyback programs or blending new and used furniture, we offer the products and services to meet your needs.

PORTFOLIO

Another Business Environment That Works.

SAP Global Marketing Headquarters, Greenwich Village, New York City The international software leader SAP wanted its new Greenwich Village international headquarters to reflect the company's bold new proposition that its products delivered " the power to build an adaptive business."

The project's architectural firm, HLW International, consulted with Waldner's to create an environment where flexibility and adaptation were not only honored in principle but applied in fact.

Visitors to the renovated warehouse follow a translucent curved wall into the "plaza" where high profile media and marketing events are held. Around the plaza's periphery are modular work stations that are easily reconfigured to accommodate either individual workers or teams.
