Office cubicles get a lot of wear and tear. Over time fabrics can become worn, scuffed,
torn and show remnants of personalization. Similar wear and tear applies to work surfaces,
storage bins and shelving along with task seating – the office chairs used in the cubicles.
When it comes time to replace worn out cubicles facility managers generally think of buying
brand new replacements. In fact refurbished and reconditioned cubicles can present a “like
new” appearance at substantial savings, says Bruce Mallett of EQA Office Furniture. That
is because in most instances the basic structural steel framework of office cubicles can be
covered with reupholstered panels and fitted with reconditioned storage bins, shelving and
work surfaces. Included in the reconditioning process is upgrading the voice, data and
power cabling used to connect individual workspaces with the office local area network and
the Internet.
Other sources of used or pre-owned office cubicles include office furniture retailers going
out of business or disposing of overstock, manufacturers seeking to reduce inventory by
offering special pricing, and companies that are moving, downsizing or going out of business.
When furnishing workplaces with used office cubicles facility managers must be certain that
the vendor offers a sufficient number of cubicles in the various sizes needed and that the
cubicles match to present a uniform appearance across the office landscape. Herman Mill
products, for example, feature grey fabric, dark tone trim and work surfaces in maple and
cherry, with pricing for 2’ x 4’ stations starting at $249 in quantity, a savings of $116
over new cubicles. Models range in size up to 8’ x 6’ in a selection of heights. Designed
in the modular concept they easily attach to each other.
These office cubicles come with a 20-year warranty; shipping is within 5-7 days.
