Since the 1980's The Desk Set has been a Rochester area based business, it began as a used furniture company.

"We still are one of the better kept secrets of Rochester," said John Hedges, President of The Desk Set. "In the early 90's we added a full remanufacturing capability; refurbishing refinishing repainting and re-laminating of work tops," Hedges continued.

For the last 8 years the desk set has been operating out of East Rochester.

The move allowed owners to double their staff and the spacious building with 90,000 square feet had everything they were looking for:

"It is three times the size of the previous location. It is tremendous from and accessibility point of view we are easy to find and we're 10 minutes from almost anywhere," said Hedges.

So how much does all this cost?

"Less than half, it's typically a third to half of what it would be if it was new. And with the refurbishing we do that product looks and acts as if it was new," said Hedges.

And this process doesn't just benefit the customer but also the environment.

"I can't tell you how many millions of tons of product we've redeployed as opposed to watched get discarded," said Hedges.
