| Why Buy Used? |
Price
Companies buy used office furniture for the same reasons that families buy used cars instead of new ones.
You can get a much better quality product for much less money.
As with cars, new furniture looses more than a third of its value the first month it is put into use and almost
half its value within one year. The manufacturers and the dealers they work with all have high overhead
and operating costs that must be factored into the price of new furniture.
By selling used furniture, we leave all those expenses with the furniture’s original owner, passing huge cost
savings and great furniture on to you.
Quality
Better products are sometimes difficult to identify in a new furniture show room. Under specialized lighting in
controlled conditions, many products appear indistinguishable. Not so with used, out of thousands of
offices we liquidate every month, only a small fraction wind up as products we will sell.
Some of the big box office stores sell new furniture for very low prices. They can charge such low prices
because they are selling cheaper goods.
Timing
You need the furniture now, not 10 weeks from form now. Used office furniture offers some of the best lead
times that exist. For as is product, leads can be a few days. For re-manufactured or refinished products, a
few weeks.
Environment
All business today face challenges in our relationship with the planet we live on. Most individuals will chose
to do the right thing by the environment when given the chance.
New office furniture production is intensive in its use of fossil fuels, raw materials and waste. Buying and
installing pre-owned furniture eliminates an estimated 80% of the environmental impact associated with the
material inputs and production office equipment.
Also, the carbon footprint is further reduced by working locally. Furniture liquidated from an investment
Bank in Lower Manhattan and installed at a Law Office in mid-town requires less diesel fuel consumption
than new furniture driven in from the Mid-West, or China.
Choosing to buy pre-owned office furniture will be one of the most important environmental decisions you
will make for your business.
Some companies include their purchase of used furniture, vehicles or equipment in their environmental
impact planning and marketing.
Since June 2010, In recognition of our furniture recycling operations, Office Furniture NYC has been
honored with a membership in the Green America [formerly "Co-op America] Green Business Network
having passed a lengthy screening & application process.
We look forward to serving you. Please contact us today.
