How often does Staples office furniture go on sale?

Q. We're currently shopping for home office furniture and last week found a desk at Staples that we liked. It was significantly marked down as part of a sale. We didn't buy at the time (wish we had) as we were still shopping around for price and style. When we returned today the sale was over.

Could someone tell me how often Staples puts their office furniture on sale? Perhaps a current or former employee would be able to tell me.

Thanks.

A. They have a sale every 30 days. But not on everything. Ask to be put on their email list. They notify you in advance of the furniture sales. ( i don't work for them).

Or ask the store manager to call you when your exact items go on sale. She will call.

Has anyone had/have +/- experience with home office furniture made by Aspen Furniture?

Q. At Woodley's & Kacey Fine Furniture in the Denver metro area I have seen knicked/worn floor models of home office furniture made by Aspen Furniture. I am curious whether this is indicitive of the quality of the pieces and/or the manufacturer, or is it because the floor models have gotten moved around/abused at the store. The pieces are made out of hardwood & veneers. I REALLY like the collection & feel it is what I need & in my price range. However, I don't want to spend money on something that won't last but a couple years. Please advise!

A. dont care

Is Home Office Furniture Tax Deductible? If so, how much is deductible and what does that really mean?

Q. My home office is based out of Texas.

A. Home office furniture would be tax deductible, as long as you use it only for your business. If you bought a computer for use for the business, a desk to put the computer on, a lamp to shine light on the desk and the computer, a phone line for the computer to connect to the internet, these would all be deductible Home Office Furniture as long as you used them 100% for the business. If you did then 100% of what you paid for them is deductible as a business expense in the year you bought them. The only question is though, is your home office part of a Schedule C business? If so then you can list all the assets on Form 4562 and take section 179 depreciation on them. That will let you write them totally off in the year you bought them. If you have a home office as part of your job requirement, then you would still report the assets on Form 4562 and take section 179 depreciation, but the depreciation would flow through to Form 2106 - Employee Business Expenses, which would in turn flow to Schedule A - Itemized Deductions - Miscellaneous Deductions, and would have to exceed 2% of your AGI for the excess to be deductible.
