Businesses in the Bay Area often turn to used office furniture for a cost effective turnaround. It’s a great option, saving you money and reducing your environmental footprint. However, its important to ensure that your vendor can deliver both quality furniture as well as quick turnaround. Given all the things that you have to manage when setting up a new office, worrying about sourcing office furniture should not be one of them.
Eco Office Furniture has a rigorous quality assessment process that ensures used office furniture is durable and long-lasting. Be it cubicles, conference tables, co-working stations, or filing cabinets; we bring the best in office furniture solutions for a reason!
We practice a rigorous step-by-step process of quality assurance for every piece of used office furniture. When you buy from us, you can ensure you are saving expenses and time in the long run.
The initial process starts with a thorough inspection of all furniture pieces. Our expert technicians conduct a visual inspection to note down any type of wear or damage. We also conduct a functionality and mobility assessment to make sure all functional parts are working correctly.
Then, the piece of furniture is categorized based on its refurbishment needs and condition. This helps us ensure that every used office furniture that goes to our customers is in the best shape!
After the initial assessment, used furniture is completely disassembled. This allows us to make sure that every component of the piece is thoroughly sanitized and cleaned. It also helps us do a detailed inspection for any hidden wear or damage not easily visible to the naked eye. Any worn out or damaged components are replaced or fixed. We inspect and fix all mechanical parts like tilt mechanisms, casters, and gas lifts - after all no one likes having the filing cabinets jam up or fall apart.
Finally the items are put back together carefully. Our expert technicians rely on manufacturer guidelines to assemble the used office furniture including lubricating all moving parts for smooth operation. All items are then expertly cleaned and put into inventory.
The process doesn’t end here! All reassembled used office furniture goes through rigorous functional testing. We put the furniture through the movement, stability, and weight test. Adjustable features are checked multiple times and any instability or wobbling is also noted.
All used office furniture should be ergonomic to ensure that employees don’t feel any discomfort or strain while working. Hence, support and adjustment range of the furniture is tested to ensure proper functionality.
Lastly, we want to make sure that the used office furniture looks good. We clean and polish the furniture, touching up any scuffs or minor scratches.
Here are some additional tips on how you can spot quality used office furniture.
First, you should make sure that the furniture piece is stable. File cabinets should operate smoothly, desks must have robust legs, and chairs shouldn’t creak or wobble.
Check the wood for any watermarks, dents, or scratches. Any metal work shouldn’t have wear or rust. The upholstery should also be free from significant fading, stains, or tears.
This might be one of the most important steps to selecting good used office furniture. Ergonomics and comfort influence the well-being and productivity of employees. All cabinets, desks, and drawers should work and your staff should be able to use them without hassle. The desks should be of an appropriate height that supports comfortable posture; it should also have ample space to keep everything without getting too cramped.
Making ergonomics a priority can mean that you are minimizing the risk of injuries or strain. The job of the office furniture is to help your teams be productive and efficient and not be a distraction.
You should get used office furniture that will meet your needs in the future too. As your firm grows, you may need to expand or reconfigure the furniture. Hence, it should be adaptable and configurable. Try going for class styles that are more timeless and can complement any future changes in décor.
