There’s one thing you can always count on when you buy an Allsteel cubicle – it will feature all metal, sturdily welded construction and come with a lifetime warranty. The Concensys collection, an entry level panel system, is no exception. Allsteel advertises this product for the budget and space conscious employer. This panel system has a thin profile which shaves inches off the square footage for each workstation. It also reduces the cost of raw materials (steel can be expensive).
Each panel is fully assembled prior to shipping. This makes installation easy for the end user. With the Quick Ship option, these Allsteel cubicles can be delivered within days of order placement. You can add components at any time since newly designed options will retrofit to your existing Concensys workstations.
Helpful Features and Benefits
These panels are designed as monolithic units to reduce the number of items customers have to buy and track. To make inventory even simpler, each piece can be bar-coded for future reference. Finishes and fabrics can be selected from a wide range of choices to make these standard workstations fit into your unique business environment. Panels are available in widths from 18-60” so you can plan in 6” increments. They stack up to 108” high and include glass panel options for a more open feel.
Multiple Storage Options
This collection can integrate with other Allsteel lines such as Reach, a fully functional storage system that doubles as a space division concept. Essentials and Persona are other collections that interface seamlessly with Concensys. You can incorporate personal towers, pedestals, and overhead cabinets. Or, you might select mobile storage products that allow you to relocate files at a moment’s notice. This is a useful option in collaborative workspaces. Moving a storage unit out of the way opens up space to accommodate an extra team member during a special project.
Electrical and Data Capabilities
An Allsteel cubicle wouldn’t be complete without state-of-the-art data and power access. The Concensys line provides base and desktop routing for cables. You can choose the Flexconnect option for adaptability and reliability in electrical delivery to your workstations. You can also include the AMP NETCONNECT consolidation boxes to distribute wiring to each zone in your office environment. This system can be readily reconfigured and increases the adaptability of your workstations as your company grows.

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. When an item is listed as “like new” it means we hardly have to touch it to make it ready for your office environment. That’s the case with a whole fleet of manager workstations in our warehouse right now.
Used furniture is even more cost effective than refurbished. It’s an excellent choice if you can find components that blend well with your existing decor. That’s one of the reasons we like the Reff collection. Classic, warm wood tones are a perfect match for lots of different work environments. One additional perk with these manager stations is the sliding door. It turns a simple cubicle into an instant office for your mid-level employees.

Teknion is an excellent office furniture brand with a great reputation for component longevity. This is one of the reasons it is often resold rather than simply being scrapped. With a little touch up or a full refurbishing, used Teknion cubicles can be as good as new. They cost much less than new panel systems while still delivering great value. Here are 3 of the most popular systems to choose from if you are buying second hand:
Boulevard
Take a stroll along a line of Boulevard cubes and you will see a system with remarkable flexibility. Height can be added without taking a workstation apart. Overpanels can simply be stacked up as high as you like. Need a change of color? The panel fabric can be replaced in-situ as well.
Data cabling can be fed through the metal raceway at the bottom. You can run additional cables up top through a removable cap; both channels may be connected with an optional vertical cable manager. The entire panel system is easy to reconfigure using the universal post and single “knuckle-loc” connectivity.
Transit
For an office that requires a broad range of choices for configuration, Transit is on the right track. The on/off modularity of this system allows you to position components such as storage, work surfaces, and power access at any point on the panel. This makes it simple for you to fit everything in place without paying extra for customization.
In addition to an astonishing range of materials and finishes, Transit offers even more choices when used in conjunction with other Teknion products. For example, the Lyft space division system integrates to give you extraordinary load bearing capacity. You can tap into this sturdy structure at 15” intervals to make full use of vertically configured components.
T/O/S
If you have an office furniture SOS, try Teknion’s T/O/S cubicles. This efficient system is designed with performance in mind. The simple, clean design of these panels can incorporate many different applications while simplifying inventory administration. Interchangeability is built in.
The frames for this panel system are noted for strength and durability. They also support plenty of cable capacity and make access readily available at work surface height. You can choose Elements panels to quickly update the look of your office environment at any time. Each side of these panels can feature a different design.

When most people talk about telemarketing cubicle art, they are referring to a print or poster you can put in your cube to make it more visually interesting. However, there is another kind of artwork that has to do with the modern, enclosed workstation. Simon Currell is a British artist who brings his creative talent to bear on this seemingly mundane topic.
Currell’s piece “In Out Again” features a row of identical cubes with overhead fluorescents shining their stark light over the commoditized workplace environment. Simon’s says he draws inspiration from his own experience as a call center employee. Art aficionados will no doubt find the repetitious nature of these telemarketing cubicle images reminiscent of Warhol’s famous soup can painting. The whole Currell collection is brilliant, so take a moment to browse – just don’t get lost in the maze!

The Verse collection of Maxon cubicles is a grow-as-you go dream for the DIY office manager. These ultra simple panels can be integrated with the manufacturer’s modular Series 1000 & 2000 desks, but they are also intended for use with any system. Just slap together a few panels and use them to wrap your existing workstations. Make a cubicle or series of enclosures in minutes and simply add on new ones as needed.
Partitions can also be connected to construct dividers of any length to break up your office into sections. All that’s required for this are some extra T-base stabilizing feet to keep the “wall” from being knocked over. With plenty of widths and heights to choose from, you will be sure to find a set of panels to fit your space. You can even use them to create a reception station for your front office.
Verse Connection
These Maxon cubicles are super easy to assemble. No tools are required. There are two connection angles available: 180 degree straights and 90 degree corners. Snap on 2, 3, or 4 way connecters at the top and bottom of each panel. Slide the panels together until they touch, and voila – a Verse workstation is born!
When you use Verse with Maxon desking systems, the panels may also be fastened to the desk surface to make the entire structure more resilient. Partitions can also be connected to the wall with brackets for additional support.
Partition Accessories
You’ll definitely want extra reinforcement if you plan to attach shelving (which can also be installed tool-free). Secure overhead cabinets complete with locking mechanisms are another option to consider. These steel-door bins flip open for easy access. Shelves and cabinets can both be finished to match the paint on the panel frames.
Cost-Saving Panels
If you are looking for the most budget-friendly Maxon cubicles, Verse is where you should start. You can select their basic partitions with no padding (just fabric over MDF board) or the P-Series with 1/8” of added foam. For offices with limited data and power needs, the manufacturer offers panels with no raceway.
Frames feature 1” steel tubes on the sides and the top edge. The metal surfaces are powder coated with epoxy that is baked on to create a rust and chip resistant finish. Color options for the frames are limited to black, gray, charcoal, and taupe. However, you have more choices when it comes to the panel fabric. Mauve is a particularly attractive selection for these Maxon cubicles if you want a break from earth tones.
