You've invested a lot of time and money in your well used office furniture. You took care to choose comfortable task chairs, modular walls, ergonomic worksurfaces; the whole setup. You have created a professional look and atmosphere, motivating clients and employees alike, while providing a positive impression of your business.

But a busy office means really putting your office furniture through the paces. Have you noticed some wear and tear lately? How will you fix it? Will you sink more money into another set of office furniture that will need to be replaced in another few years? You could.

Or you could take a cost-effective approach! Instead of replacing that aging office furniture, all it needs is a little care and refurbishing.

Here are some of the best ways to refurbish your used office furniture, allowing you to save money and maximize the value of your investment:

Reupholster Fabric Cubicle Panels

Upholstered cubicle walls will inevitably begin to unravel, tear, or otherwise deteriorate. Reupholstering cubicle panels will save you from purchasing thousands of dollars worth of new ones. Moreover, it will give the space a whole new feel -- creating a stimulating work environment.

In fact, refurbished cubicles are one of the services that sets us apart! We have in-house panel re-upholstery staff that can be scaled in order to meet demand. Now, your used office furniture can keep on being used!

Repainting Metal Storage Components

Used office furniture includes more than just desks and chairs. If you notice that the exterior of your metal storage units is getting worse and more battered, it’s probably time to repaint the whole thing. Since you're having your panel fabric redone, why not get your storage pieces repainted at the same time?

Here at Creative Office Furniture, we've got a paint shop as well, where our team can do everything from matte to glossy finishes.

Replacing Task Seating and Worksurfaces

Sometimes replacing is going to be less expensive than refurbishing your used office furniture. Items like task chairs and laminate worksurfaces were not made to last a lifetime. Especially with seating, foam seat pans and hydraulic cylinders tend to take a beating. Where you saved by reupholstering panels and repainting metal, you've now got some wiggle room to replace your existing seating, so used office furniture isn't the only way to go.

The great thing about laminate worksurfaces is there are about a million finishes to choose from. Keep the same color as before, or get something new to match your updated panels -- the possibilities are endless. Sometimes opting for two straight worksurfaces can save over having multiple pieces, like a cockpit corner piece and two end pieces inside a cubicle.

So let us get to work on giving your used office furniture a facelift! Contact us today.
