Looking at buying a new set of office cubicles? Obtaining office workstations could hurt one's pocketbook. Also, it quite possibly might take a while before you get your cubicles set in place. The price you'll typically see of a standard eight foot cubicle workstation can range in price be priced from $2k and as much as $7,000 per workstation. Cubicles, if bought from the big manufacturers like Global, Herman Miller and Steelcase, can range from a month and a half to be delivered after the order is placed.
Okay, what is a good as an different choice? Yep! Pre owned or refurbished workstations! With the downturn in the market conditions, an office furniture buyer can sometimes locate a good variety of used cubicles. When making the choice to select a used workstation is generally a good decision, financially speaking, and could be good on the environment also! Used workstations often range between two-hundred and $1,000 dollars per workstation.
One of the good things in looking at the pre-owned cubicle also include the lead-time and availability. Depending on the location, used office cubicles are sometimes "knocked down" in a storage facility somewhere (they're often inventoried by used cubicle dealers or cubicle installation companies). Here, you might be able to get your cubicles in as quick as a week. Other times, the cubicles are still built in an office building somewhere.
The biggest opportunity to the used cube is that they are priced much lower than new cubes - sometimes as low as $.10 on the dollar.
But, one of the drawbacks when buying used cubicles are the unavailability of choices, if they were kept in good condition, as well as the possibility that they could not be precisely what you're looking for. Generally, you take it as a compromise. You also won't get a warranty from the manufacturer in the case that something doesn't work correctly. Pre owned cubicles are almost always purchased "as-is" (and most of the time "where is") and don't come with a warranty.
