There's no doubt that new office furniture can be very expensive, companies like ours sell used office furniture and cubicles at a fraction of the cost of new, it's much more green to recycle/reuse office furniture, it's more cost effective and it can save the customer a lot of money. And many times used furniture and used cubicles can look just as good as new. There are many reasons why businesses, most especially small and medium sized business owners, prefer used office furniture over new but the number one reason is budget.
You can buy used furniture in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and materials, from wood, metal, glass, fabric, laminate, a wide variety of looks and feels exist as well as price ranges, so almost any company can afford high quality used furniture. For example we sell a 5 drawer lateral file cabinet for $300. A brand new HON cabinet has a current list price of $1,183., that’s a 75% savings! Now that's a big difference in price. Another reason used furniture make a lot of sense is because its green and environmentally friendly to buy used office furniture vs. new.
In this day and age of declining natural resources buying used office furniture is a great way to make a difference and also convey to your customers, which depending on your industry, may be very aware and sensitive to green issues, that your efforts to help the environment extend to your work environment. Used office cubicles can easily be refurbished; Mammoth Office Furniture actually replaces the fabric & worksurfaces altogether and repaint or replaces the trim etc. so in the end you essentially have a brand new looking cube.
So as you can see there are multiple reasons that are very convincing when buying new vs. used furniture, between very large cost savings, to helping the environment and also helping to express your green awareness in your organization to your customers, there's many reasons why buying used makes a lot of sense these days.
