Secondhand Style Meets Smarter Spending
Shopping for used office furniture? Great choice! It’s kind to your wallet, fantastic for the planet, and - when done right - can elevate your office vibe. But before you dive into the treasure hunt, make sure you’re asking the right questions.
Here’s how to avoid buyer’s remorse and create a workspace that works for you. Let’s get cracking!
-
What Condition Is the Furniture In?
Nobody likes surprises, especially when they involve wobbly desks or squeaky chairs. Take a close look (or better yet, a test sit!). Check for wear, stability, and any hidden quirks. Bonus points if the furniture has been professionally refurbished, like the gems in the George Walkers collection. Trust us, we know how to make secondhand feel first-class.
2. Is It Ergonomic?
Your spine deserves a round of applause, and an ergonomic chair. Make sure the furniture is designed for comfort and productivity, not just good looks. After all, you’ll be spending a lot of time there. At George Walkers, we can help you pick pieces that keep both your team’s posture and morale upright.
3. Does It Fit My Space and Needs?
Measure twice, regret never. Furniture that doesn’t fit your office space is the ultimate buzzkill. Check dimensions, think about flow, and ensure it complements your décor. Got an awkward nook? Don’t worry, we love a good puzzle and can help you find just the right pieces.
4. Can It Be Customised?
Why settle for vanilla when you can have sprinkles? Ask if the furniture can be reupholstered, repainted, or otherwise jazzed up to match your branding. At George Walkers, we’re all about helping you turn "meh" into "marvelous" with a few creative tweaks.
5. Is It Sustainable?
Saving the planet while sprucing up your office? Yes, please! Ask your supplier about their sustainability practices. At George Walkers, we’re pros at eco-friendly refurbishing and recycling, making sure your furniture story is as green as your plants (or ambitions).
Making Secondhand Feel Like First Prize
Choosing the right used office furniture is more than just smart - it’s stylish, sustainable, and oh-so-satisfying. By asking these questions, you’ll end up with pieces that fit your space, your budget, and your values.
