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.
