Saving Money on Office Furniture & Equipment

Thursday November 11, 2004
Charlie writes: "Another idea for a cheap desk: A standard slab door on top of two 2-drawer file cabinets is easy to move and gives a BIG work surface. A "luan" hollow door with 3 or 4 coats of clear polyurethane varnish looks great and is virtually indestructible. If you do a good job of sanding and cleaning between coats, it's smooth enough to use as a drawing surface or a "pattern-cutting table" safe enough for fine fabrics.

Used Office Furniture NYC

Buying used office furniture is one of the best ways to save money on your office furniture purchases. You can usually find a good liquidator in most major markets.

Used office furniture providers can get you a great deal on quality furniture. Your savings should be around 70% off the list price of new items. You will also be doing your part for the planet as buying used saves the planets scarce resources.

Much success in your new office!

Buying used office furniture is always a savings. But at time people to end up paying more for the used then what it is used.

Most dealers will get at least 60% to 70% off list new. Then they mark it up from there.

Find out the real list price of the used before you buy the used. At times the cost is so close it makes sence to buy the new.
