Thinking about buying a new cluster of office workstations? New office cubicles might hurt one's pocketbook. Also, it could take a good amount of time before you have the cubicles deliverd . The price you'll typically see of a common eight foot office workstation might be priced from $2,200.00 and and as high as $6,000.00 per station. Cubicles, if bought from the larger manufacturers such as Teknion, Herman Miller and Allsteel, could be a month and a half to get installed after the order is placed.
Well, what might you try as an alternative? That's right! Pre-owned or refurbished workstations! Since the slowdown in the market conditions, an office furniture buyer could often locate a large selection for of used cubicle product. Making the decision to go with a used workstation is usually a wise option, financially speaking, and could be good on the environment also! Used workstations often are priced between two-hundred and one thousand dollars per station.
Another advantage in looking at the pre owned cubical also include the lead-time and availability. Depending on where they're located at, used office cubicles are frequently "broken down" in a warehouse somewhere (they're often inventoried by used office furniture vendors or installation companies). For this scenerio, you might be able to have them in under a week. Or, sometimes, the cubicles remain standing in an office complex nearby.
The biggest advantage to the pre-owned cube is that they are at a lower price point when compared to new cubicals - sometimes as low as ten cents on the dollar.
But, one of the negatives when considering buying used cubicles are the unavailability of choices, if they were kept in good shape, as well as the fact that they could not be precisely what you're looking for. Usually, you take what you can get. Another thing to consider is that you also will not get a warranty from the manufacturer in the case that something does not work properly. Used workstations are usually bought "as-is" (and most of the time "where is") and don't come with a manufacturer's warranty.
