Recycled office furniture has its pros and cons, but the benefits are undeniable. If you purchase from a reputable dealer, the items you receive will be in good condition and the price will be cut to the bone. Experienced refurbishers know how to remove dirt and stains from many types of furniture textiles. You won’t be squicked out by receiving an office chair that still has Dorito crumbs in the creases. Scuff marks and scratches may not be eliminated entirely, but each used item is touched up in preparation for its new home in your work environment.
Dealers that support sustainable office furniture practices also know when it’s time to simply start over and resurface a cubicle panel or workstation. They have the tools and supplies to return a piece of furniture to factory condition – and it’s still cheaper than buying new.
You can also rest assured that you will receive sound advice on how to dispose of your old furniture in the most eco-friendly way. It may be refurbished again for use by another company; or it may be broken down into its components for post-consumer recycling. Materials such as steel are almost 100% recoverable and many plastics can also be reclaimed.
Reusing products that have already been manufactured is one of the simplest and most cost effective ways to practice sustainability in your business. Buying 
An economic downturn is tough on all businesses, but it does provide opportunities for office furniture liquidators. They have lots of chances to pick up workstations that are being sold off in liquidation sales. Resellers also have a ready supply of customers seeking the cost savings that come with purchasing used or refurbished cubicles. These clients want quality, but don’t have the budget for brand new cubicles. This means high-end brands with solid construction can be retouched and sold at a price that works for everyone.
Are you going through a period of downsizing that involves moving to a smaller office space? You may need to put some of your office furniture in storage. Cubicles are often relatively simple to break down and take up much less space when they are stored as separate components instead of full workstations. Here are a few tips for making sure they remain in good condition and are easy to reassemble when you need them again:
Not every set of used cubicles on the market is bought up by a dealership. Some companies that are liquidating their workstations choose to sell directly to other employers. If you see an ad listing cubicles for sale locally, this might be a chance to pick up gently used furniture at a low price. Or, you might end up with broken, badly worn cubicles that look shabby and have pieces missing. Here’s how to tell a good deal from a bad one.
To save you and the seller both some time, it makes sense to view sample photos before you arrange to look at the cubicles for sale in person. Inquire about the overall condition and ask for close ups of a few areas of wear and tear or damage so you can see if refurbishing is required.
Once you have determined the condition of the cubicles, you can compare the pricing to similar items for sale by local used office furniture dealers. Remember that the cost and time involved in breaking down, transporting, and reassembling the cubicles will probably fall on you when buying directly from the previous owner. If you don’t have the experience or equipment to handle this, you will need to hire professionals to help out. This can make a difference in whether or not you are really getting a bargain.

What’s the difference between used Knoll cubicles and new ones? That’s not a riddle. The answer is simple. It’s the amount of money you have leftover when you buy pre-owned office furniture.
