The Modern Office Space
Your business is a reflection of your
triumphs and successes.
No matter how large your office is, let it
reflect those values as well as your own.
Beyond practicality and affordability,
purchasing used office furniture gives
you greater flexibility in design
experimentation and as well as comfort
for your staff.
In the following presentation, learn the 7
Steps to keep in mind, when buying used
office furniture.
1. Know What You Want
Plan a vision for your office. Instead of purchasing impulsively, break
down exactly what you need and what you need it for. Accurately
assessing those items will help you to properly budget and plan for
them in the long run.
2. Theme
Along with knowing what you want, take some time to determine a
theme for your office. Take note of the existing building structure if
one exists and plan a theme around that. Do the high ceilings and
windows lean towards a minimalist design? Or do the rustic carpeting
and cabinets call for classic furnishings with deep hues and finishes?
3. Budget When it comes to budget, be honest
with yourself on how much you can
afford.
Also remember to budget in a
monthly allowance for any repairs or
maintenance that needs to be done
Maximize that budget by prioritizing
your essentials (comfortable chairs,
desks, filing cabinets) over non-
essentials (leather couches, glass
furniture).
Trusted Brands 4.
A trusted brand will not only supply you
with the furnishings you need, but will
provide you the best deals and service.
Some questions to ask when speaking with
a furniture broker/dealer:
• Where do you obtain your products?
• Do you offer any warranties?
• Will you deliver? Shipping costs?
• Will you provide installation?
• Do you have any references you can
provide me?
5. Understand Your Space When purchasing used or new office furniture, always
remember to “maximize space”.
If you’re in a temporary or small office, don’t look for permanent installations
such as wall cabinets. However, if you’re in an open air office with not a lot of
storage, look for wall shelving and other storage systems that will tie your
room together.
6. Ergonomics
7. Refurbish Refurbishing can mean a
fresh coat of paint on a
desk, adding new fabric
to the back of a chair, or
just a quick cleaning.
Refurbishing your used
office furniture gives you
a greater opportunity to
have the furniture and
design of dreams.
Refurbishing also gives
you a chances to
carefully examine the
furniture for any signs of
decay or mold you may
have missed when you
initially purchased it.
