Anyone have a good place or go-to’s for office furniture? Notes on refurbing? Companies with best track records? Resources for GWP comparison?

Do you know about BIFMA Level certification? [LEVEL Certified - BIFMA](https://www.bifma.org/general/custom.asp?page=level-certified)  
This is the only place I know to go for furniture transparency. The furniture industry is unfortunately quite behind in the race.
