There are plenty of benefits to blending used and new furniture in your workspace. One of our industry influencers, Toni De Almeida, weighs in on why you should consider buying both used and new furnishings.

It allows for greater flexibility for decision makers when working with a limited budget. An ideal workplace may cost a client $100,000 but their budget may only them to stretch as far as $70,000.

Lower Prices and More Savings

It maybe possible for the client to consider spending money on high quality used workstations, instead of brand new workstations. Workstations tend to take up the bulk of most furniture costs. The price differential in most cases hover around 50%, meaning a new workstation may cost a business owner $2,000 while a high quality used workstation might be at $1,000.

Ability to Stretch a Budget
