It is Critical to know
the 2 basic types of office furniture
Retail
furniture is a one off style that a manufacture creates for a
particular sales campaign. It is a less robust and less expensive
style of furniture. Retail Furniture is manufactured to meet a lower
price point and used to build quick sales. You see retail furniture in
the National Chain Office Supply Retailers. The styles are constantly
changing and once a style is sold out it is gone.
Commercial Grade
furniture is made in styles that last for years. Commercial grade
office furniture looks great and is built tough. Commercial Grade
Furniture’s classic styles allow you to match pieces years from now
and still maintain a unified look.
We are
not trying to say that retail furniture is bad or Commercial Furniture
is better. Each has its place in the market and we sell both. We just
make sure what your goals are and make sure you understand your
choices. You don’t want your big and expensive laser printer supported
on a retail table where people are coming in and setting on the edge
of it, or bumping into it.
We help you determine
your needs, your working environment, and give you good choices. You
make the decisions that best fit.
Questions to Answer
about the Functional Requirements of Your Office Furniture
-
Are
employees or clients going to be interacting with your office
furniture?
-
Might
people try to sit on the edge of the desk?
-
Are
people going to be leaning over the desk?
-
Will
heavy boxes or objects be set on this furniture during shipping or
receiving?
-
Will
you be using this furniture into the foreseeable future?
-
Are
you looking forward to expanding your business and your office space
later?
-
Are
you leasing office space? Might you decide to move your office
later?
These are a few of the
key questions that need answers before you decide between retail and
commercial grade office furniture.
Key differences between
New and Used Office Furniture
Commercial office furniture works very flexibly new or used.
Commercial furniture has a long life because it is tough and because
the styles match now and in the future. It can even be a little
bruised cosmetically, but still be strong and useful.
You can
assume that commercial furniture that you have will have a good resale
value in the future. Cosmetically it may be blemished but still be
very functional. Pricing is based on its cosmetic appearance, when and
who made the item, and the current demand in the marketplace.
Used
retail furniture should play a limited role in your office layout
plans. An office piece that you need temporarily might work but retail
furniture does not hold its value in the resale market because it does
get bashed up and does show it decrepitude. Retail furniture that has
received abuse and shows visible distortion, lacks structural
integrity. Retail furniture because of its unique nature does not hold
up as well in price.
Any
retail grade furniture you trade in will not return as good a price.
Of course, this creates great bargains for retail furniture when
retail grades fit the need.
What Conclusions should
we be drawing here?
And so
again, this is not to mean that commercial furniture is always better
than retail. You just need to assess your needs and see what bests
fits your overall plan. We are here to get you the information you
need to find the best combination of new or used retail or commercial
furniture that fits your situation.
And so
let's repeat again. We know furniture. We can make your next purchase
of furniture less frustrating. We can help you not make a buying
mistake. We can also help you not spend more than you need to; to find
the office furniture that fits. |
