The topic of office furniture
is about as exciting as watching the grass grow to some people. Generally, these people see buying
office furniture as a necessary evil which requires them to search through the numerous offering of
different manufacturers to finally find that perfect piece that they’ve been looking for. While the
topic of office chairs and other office furniture items might seem a little dull to the new
shopper, there are plenty of ways to make it exciting. Yes. Exciting!
1) Let’s start with Ebay. Guess
what? Ebay is one of the largest (if not the largest) shopping experiences in the world right now
(and probably into the near future). Ebay has grown massively during the last and it currently the
largest used car dealer on the planet. How does this relate to office furniture? Simple. Office
furniture can be bought on Ebay. And cheaply. I regularly buy items for 50% off on Ebay. Maybe
someone had a business that didn’t work out so well and now all their equipment is for sale on
Ebay. Their loss is your gain. Why pay $800 for a new chair when you can buy one slightly used for
$250? No brainer. Ebay is the way to go.
2) Don’t buy more than you
actually need. Office furniture is quite versatile. Buying a slightly larger desk can take the
place of two smaller ones if you know how to arrange it properly. In fact, buying one large used
piece of office furniture might cost only ¼ as much as 2 small new pieces. The key is to buy the
best bang for the buck.
3) Look into leasing or renting
office furniture. Now this is one good tip- I’m sorry to say I can’t take credit for it myself.
This is a fantastic way to keep your cash flow in your pocket while enjoying the benefits of a
brand new office. New chairs, new desks, new everything: all for a very low up front price. The big
thing to look out for here is to make sure that you are truly getting a good deal. To say there are
conartists out there is a huge understatement. Read the fine print carefully and make sure that
what you are paying is less than buying it outright. However, with a little bit of homework, it
really isn’t that hard to get a good deal by renting or leasing. Check it out.
