Why Buy Used Office Furniture - Part 3

In a recent post we talked about reasons why you might consider replacing your office furniture and that we'd have further posts about the benefits of buying used office furniture. So, in this post let's have a look at some of the benefits of buying used office furniture.

It saves money

If your budget is limited and you want to save money then you could consider buying used office furniture, which you can buy much cheaper than new. You can save between 30-50% by opting for used instead and it often looks like new.

It’s good for the environment

If reducing your environmental impact and carbon footprint is important to you, then buying used office furniture is an excellent way of doing your bit for the environment. According to DEFRA it takes 2.5 tonnes of carbon emissions to create 1 ton of office furniture.

There’s no question, if you want to reduce your carbon footprint then buying used office furniture is a sensible option.

Who knew?

Used office furniture is often available in excellent condition, even though it costs far less. Buyers often cannot distinguish between it and new office furniture. It’s also possible to often find used office furniture that’s physically flawless – so only you need to know!

It can be freshened up

If your old office furniture is looking rather tired, you can always consider refurbishing it, you can transform it back to showroom condition at a fraction of the cost of replacing. That tatty old chair that’s oh so comfortable could be given a facelift – let’s be honest it’s served you well so you’re just paying it back – might be a few years left in the old dog yet….

Corporate social responsibility (CSR)

A key feature and important to most businesses today is to ensure they have a high standard of corporate social responsibility. There are also great PR opportunities to be gained by being environmentally friendly that you can take advantage of.
