Why Buy New Office Furniture? We’ll Tell You Why!
There comes a time when every office needs a spruce up, make-over or upgrade, and it is usually at this time that business owners wonder if they should buy new or used office furniture. If you’re one of those people, perhaps this post will help you. First and foremost, second-hand office furniture will cost less. That’s one of the major reasons why people seek second-hand items out. Unfortunately, it’s not always the best option when it comes to longevity and value for money. Why buy new office furniture? Here’s why:
- New furniture will be delivered in pristine condition. There will be no need to refurbish, clean or repair new furniture. Many people think that they are getting a bargain buying second-hand, when in fact, it can cost more when that spring pops through the cushion or the drawer stops sliding open and closed…and then costly and potentially ongoing repairs are required. If you take care of your new office furniture from day one, you can expect minimal effort and expense in terms of maintenance and repairs.
- New office furniture items will come with a warranty/guarantee of some sort. This means that if it falls apart before it’s time, you’re covered. The fabric is also often covered for wear and tear, and even stains. Especially if the fabric is treated.
- With brand new furniture items in the office, you will benefit from an upmarket and modern appeal. Brand new items send a message to your clients. It shows them that you value your business enough to spend money on it and that you are willing to make long-term investments in such assets. It is a clear indication that you plan to stick around.
- New office furniture usually features modern, ergonomic designs. Think about how far office chairs and desks have come over the years. The discomforts of yesteryear are blown out of the water by chairs and desks that feature comfortable supportive designs. Unfortunately, most second-hand furniture items will be old and outdated. Remember that the comfort and health of your workforce is important. A happy and comfortable worker is a productive one.
- Buying new office furniture is convenient, especially if you are buying a few items. Suppliers of new furniture will deliver the items to your premises and even unpack and set them up for you. This can save a great deal of time and effort. After all, you want your staff members in the office being productive, not running around collecting and delivering furniture items. This type of service is rare, and potentially non-existent in the second-hand furniture world, as most sellers are private individuals or small concerns with limited stock items and labour.
