 A Guide to Buying the Right Furniture For Your Business

How do you feel about your office furniture? Is it all old, broken and ratty looking? Well, don't worry! Updating your office furniture is easier than you think! Here are five things to consider when updating: 

1. Style

What kind of style will look best in your office space? 

What kind of color schemes, decor, and office furniture should someone consider in their office layout? Make sure to incorporate your company's colors and branding into the design.
-Do you want a traditional office look? 
-Do you want to modernize with steel furniture, clean lines, or bright colors?
-What style is best for your team - sleek and minimalistic or warm and inviting?

2. Durability

What are your needs for the materials of your office furniture?

Do you need to buy something that can withstand a lot of wear and tear or just needs the occasional wipe down with some soap and water? We offer everything from fabric upholstered office chairs to bacteria-resistant office desks. If price is a concern, we carry lightly used office furniture that can still stand up to a lot of wear and tear.

3. Comfort

How comfortable does the furniture make people feel while they're working on it for hours at a time? 

Did you know that an improper office chair can lead to back and neck problems? An office chair with good lumbar support can make all the difference. Adjustable height desks are also a great idea, because people with foot or back issues will be relieved of pain from long hours spent in one position.
An office that has good quality furniture will keep its workers happier and more productive, so make sure your company is doing their best to provide a healthy environment for work with our help!

4. Space

What is the ideal spacing for your office?



Will this piece fit into your current office space or will it require moving around other furniture? A large desk may look nice, but it could leave your office looking cramped and cluttered. Cubicles can give the feeling of privacy, but may give the feeling of being boxed in. If you desire an open concept space, acrylic dividers might be a better solution. Think about how everything fits together.

5. Price

What should you budget for new office furniture?

The price of a piece of furniture is often based on the size and material used in construction. Computer desks are one example: they can be made from wood, metal or plastic for different budgets. Another factor that affects cost is the age of the furniture. While everyone loves shiny and new, used office furniture can save you money and still give your office a fresh feel. You can slowly update your office over time and not have to make a huge investment all at once.

Desks Inc Offers New and Used Office Furniture and Customer Service That is Unbeatable

You might be thinking, “I’ve got office furniture - I don’t need anything else. My office is just fine!” But if your space looks outdated or like it was scavenged from an old college dorm room, you may want to rethink that statement. People make a judgment about the company they are visiting within seconds of walking in and seeing their surroundings; so why not give them something fresh and shiny? This can have a huge impact on how well people listen to what you say during meetings and presentations. 


Our team at Desks Inc understands this idea better than anyone because we offer new and used office furniture for both home offices as well as corporate spaces. We pride ourselves on providing quality pieces, fair prices, the best shipping rates, and customer service that can’t be beat.
