Our History
Welcome to the heart of Minnesota Office Furniture, where our journey is not just about creating spaces but fostering a community of furniture enthusiasts. We're more than a team; we're a family connected by our passion for crafting exceptional environments. With a combined experience of 50 years, our close-knit staff takes immense pride in delivering top-notch workmanship, unwavering quality, and tailored solutions that speak to each customer's unique needs, budget, and timeline.
In 2010, our trailblazing founder, Ryan Houser, a dedicated sustainability advocate and visionary, launched our venture. Drawing on two decades of hands-on expertise, Ryan laid the groundwork for our unwavering commitment to exceptional workmanship. His vision was clear – an office space shouldn't require a lavish budget to express quality.
Minnesota Office Furniture pioneered this belief, starting with the refurbishment of Herman Miller AO2 cubicle workstations, seamlessly blending new and previously owned items. This unique approach proved immensely beneficial to business owners, establishing Minnesota Office Furniture as a trusted name to dedication and quality.
The story took a new turn in 2019 when Nikki Houser, Ryan's wife, joined our journey. Fueled by extreme passion and a visionary mindset, the dynamic duo reshaped our business model. Together, they crafted an approach that not only sets us apart in offerings and market segments but also creates an ecosystem where businesses and individuals thrive in collaboration.
In 2021, Nikki and Ryan proudly welcomed Techline Twin Cities & DESQ into our family. These brands, known for their high-quality, locally crafted furniture, seamlessly align with our Work + Life ideology. Techline, rooted in the 1960s, and DESQ, a Twin Cities pioneer since 1997, now form our in-house furniture lines. Our expanded portfolio caters to both residential and commercial needs, epitomizing our commitment to versatile, custom furniture with the tagline "Spaces Designed for Work + Life."
Beyond furniture, it's the people who make us who we are. Our exceptional team at Minnesota Office Furniture doesn't just focus on detail-oriented work; we prioritize relationships, big or small. It's the personal touch that defines us, and we invite you to join our vibrant community. Experience the warmth, passion, and personalized solutions that make our family unique in crafting spaces that truly resonate with you.
Women-Owned Small Business
We are proudly thriving as a local small business, being part of the Small/Women-Owned Business Enterprises (S/WEB) State Contract program. Throughout our journey, we've held firm to our core values and stuck to our eco-friendly initiatives, making sure each piece of furniture has a purpose and avoids becoming landfill bound. Our commitment goes beyond business – we actively support and source from local businesses in Minnesota, reaching out to the broader Midwest and the entire USA.
We love keeping things close to home, creating job opportunities, striving for excellence, and crafting furniture locally with top-notch quality. It's more than a business; it's a personal commitment to our community and customers.

OUR PROCESS TO BRING YOU SUCCESS
CONSULTATION
Your needs take center stage. We begin by asking the right questions to gain a deeper understanding of your space. For residential clients, we ask you to come into our showroom, look around at our products, get to know more about the design possibilities, and then discuss your vision before we create a customized concept drawing.
For commercial & residential clients, we invite you to share your space plans and schedule a meeting, enabling us to comprehensively outline the project's scope.
DESIGN
Next, our skilled team crafts visual mockups, accompanied by an initial budget assessment to fit what you’re looking for. From here, we will make any necessary edits and start focusing on the details. Before beginning your project, the consultant you’re working with will complete a walk through and field measurement of your space as well as answer any additional questions.
DELIVERY & INSTALL
Lead times vary based on project size and material choices. We're proud to uphold a five to eight-week lead time, spanning from the deposit phase to the installation finale. To begin production, we request a minimum deposit of 50% or a purchase order. As installation day approaches, the remaining balance becomes due.
