The minimum quantity of a single product in a single purchase must be at least 3 units to qualify for bulk pricing. The more units you add, the steeper the discount — so if you're outfitting a full team, it's worth consolidating into one order rather than buying in smaller batches over time.
When you're sourcing office furniture at scale, the difference between a good supplier and a frustrating one usually comes down to what happens after the order is placed. Autonomous handles the full picture — quantity discounts up to 45% off, LTL freight shipping directly to your office, a dedicated customer success rep for your account, and a lifetime warranty that covers replacement parts on any product for as long as you own it. That last point matters more than it sounds: most wholesale furniture suppliers sell and move on, leaving you to deal with worn-out components or missing parts on your own. With Autonomous, businesses get the kind of ongoing support that makes a real difference when you're managing dozens of workstations across a team.
The most straightforward way to maximize savings is to consolidate your order — buying 20 units in a single purchase will always get you a better per-unit price than placing four separate orders of 5. Beyond that, timing matters. If your company is approaching the end of its fiscal year, bulk office furniture purchases made before year-end can qualify for a full deduction under IRS Section 179, which allows businesses to write off the entire cost in the same tax year rather than depreciating it over time. A $40,000 order placed in Q4 could translate to $10,000–$16,000 in real tax savings depending on your bracket — effectively making the furniture significantly cheaper than the invoice price. Combining that with Autonomous's bulk discounts, it's one of the more underused strategies for companies looking to upgrade their workspace efficiently.
For most companies outfitting a team, the core of any bulk order is standing desks and ergonomic chairs — and for good reason. Height-adjustable Autonomous Desks let employees alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day, which consistently shows up in productivity and wellbeing research as one of the highest-impact changes a company can make to a workspace. Ergonomic chairs with lumbar support and adjustable armrests reduce the physical fatigue that accumulates over long work days and cut down on the back pain complaints that pull employees away from their desks. Rounding out the setup with monitor arms — which free up desk surface space and let each person set their screen at the right eye level — gives teams a workspace that's genuinely comfortable to spend eight hours in, not just one that looks good in an office tour.
There's a common trap in bulk furniture buying where the low per-unit price looks great on a spreadsheet but the furniture ends up needing replacement within two or three years — at which point the savings evaporate. Autonomous Desks are built with dual-motor lifting systems rated for thousands of height adjustments and frames capable of supporting up to 310 lbs, while the ergonomic chairs use high-density foam and breathable mesh that holds up to daily use without compressing or fraying over time. When you factor in the lifetime warranty and the fact that you won't be replacing these in year three, the total cost of ownership is considerably lower than cheaper alternatives — even if the upfront price per unit is higher. For companies making a multi-year commitment to a workspace, that's the calculation that actually matters.
Coordinating delivery for a large office furniture order is genuinely complicated — you're dealing with freight logistics, building access windows, elevator bookings, and a team that still needs to work while everything is being set up. Autonomous offers scheduled delivery so you can plan the arrival around your office calendar, whether that means a weekend drop, a phased rollout by floor, or delivery timed to a renovation. For orders in California, professional assembly is available as an opt-in service so you don't have to pull your team off their actual work to put furniture together. And every bulk order comes with a dedicated customer success rep who handles tracking, delivery questions, and any follow-up — which means you have one person to call instead of bouncing around a support queue when something needs sorting.
