There’s nothing like a furniture refresh to revive the spirit of a team that has been in and out of Zoom fatigue for the last three years. But whether you are renovating your office, expanding your footprint, or opening a new space, the cost to purchase and install brand new furniture can give any small- to medium-sized business sticker shock.

ROS Office Furniture has a solution that allows you to save money on office furniture without compromising on quality. Preowned furniture is the perfect way for offices that need furniture to suit their entire team, whether you have 20 employees or 200.

What Is Preowned Office Furniture?

Scrap the vision in your mind of cobwebbed plastic chairs and rusting metal dividers stacked in the corners of a dim warehouse somewhere, because that is absolutely not what we mean by preowned furniture.

Preowned furniture is high quality office furniture that looks brand new from the most regarded brands. Typically, Fortune 500 and Fortune 100 companies upgrade their furniture every five years in order to keep up with the latest trends in workspace configurations. To attract and recruit top-notch talent, they want the most up-to-date, clean, and aesthetically pleasing furniture… even if their “old stuff” is hardly used. Furniture manufacturers cater to the needs of these large corporations, frequently designing furniture that fits their desires for all needs, from open-flow concept to spaces designed for more privacy.

ROS acquires this furniture and resells it to customers like you, who are savvy enough to recognize high quality furniture and frugal enough to see the benefits of buying preowned. 

Choosing preowned furniture not only reduces your overall cost and refreshes your office aesthetic; it’s also the green choice, reducing furniture waste that can clutter up landfills.

Outfit Your Entire Building

Preowned furniture is also not a hodge-podge collection of mix-matched pieces you’ll have to find creative ways to configure. Because we acquire our preowned furniture from these Fortune 500 and 100 companies, we have hundreds of coordinated office cubicles, desks, chairs, conference tables, and more so that you are able to outfit your entire building with preowned furniture. And because these styles are often timeless and still fairly recent, they pair well with new furniture options, as well.

Although ROS is the largest preowned office furniture dealer in the Midwest, with furniture available from a variety of mainline manufacturers, there is always the chance we don’t have something specific you’re looking for in stock. That’s why we have access to a database of over 200 partner furniture dealers across the country that are more than willing to trade inventories with us to accommodate your specific furniture needs.

Hybrid Options

Many of our customers come to us with a specific look they’re going for. Some of their vision can be satisfied by selecting preowned furniture that saves them a lot of money, like high-end, ergonomic chairs. We are able to meet the rest of their needs by helping them select new pieces to complement their preowned choices, or vice versa. Whatever your vision is, we can help you find the right combination to achieve your goals and save you money at the same time.

ROS Office Furniture doesn’t have a contract with any single manufacturer, so we can mix and match and plug and play with a little of everything. Plus, we provide turn-key services—our quote is all-inclusive for installation, delivery, design, space planning, and so on. These other services are add-ons at other places.

Don’t Be Another Company’s “Little Fish”

The mainline manufacturers that are catering to the needs of Fortune 500 companies can’t give the same care and attention to smaller operations; their best sales team members are focused on the big fish. 

ROS focuses on serving businesses with 20-200 employees. You don’t have to feel like the little fish in a big pond, because you are our ideal customer. As a family-owned business, customer service is our highest priority.

Costs are rising everywhere these days. It’s likely that whatever office renovation or new build you’re in the process of completing is coming in over budget or significantly higher than you originally expected.

Here’s some good news for a change: preowned office furniture can significantly reduce your project costs, and you don’t have to sacrifice quality in the process. Skeptical? Here are the advantages to choosing preowned office furniture.

Same Quality of Furniture for Less

Purchasing brand-new office furniture is similar to buying a brand-new car, the minute it leaves the showroom, it loses hundreds or even thousands of dollars in value. The quality of the furniture (or car) didn’t change, but its status as “new” has changed.

The quality preowned office furniture available at ROS is generally 3-10 years old and in excellent condition. It is thoroughly cleaned and touched up prior to delivery. We’re always searching for the very best inventories across the country to provide the best options to our customers.

Quality Office Furniture Doesn’t Go Out of Style

It may be tempting to purchase lower quality, new office furniture, because even if it’s cheaply made, it seems like the most modern and stylish option out there. The truth is that quality office furniture doesn’t go out of style. Its durability, simplicity, and functionality is designed to outlast the ages. Quality office furniture doesn’t shape the atmosphere of your office, it provides you the flexibility to build and finesse your brand and office culture as it evolves, regardless of the style of furniture in your space.

With high quality preowned office furniture, you can invest more of your budget into those personal touches, like artwork, signage, and accessories, that truly capture the personality of your organization, leaving your quality office furniture to do the work it was intended to do: comfortably support and meet the needs of your employees for years to come.

No Backorders or Fulfillment Delays

While inflation and supply chain issues are driving up costs and creating delays all over the marketplace, preowned office furniture is just waiting for your order. Manufacturing delays, backorders, and other fulfillment issues can drastically impact your move-in date. All of our preowned office furniture inventory is on display and ready for selection, purchase, and delivery. We’ll even handle installation and help you with floor plan design so that you can get your team back to work in your new space asap.

Preowned Is the Green Choice

The sustainability movement isn’t a trend that’s going away. More and more organizations are recognizing the importance of conserving resources and making smart choices in every area of their business. When you purchase preowned office furniture, you actively reduce unnecessary waste and divert quality materials away from already overflowing landfills. 

We believe there’s no reason this excellent preowned office furniture shouldn’t see new life in a different office setting. Your pocketbook and our planet thank you.

If you’re in the market for new-to-you office furniture, ROS Office Furniture makes the office furniture buying experience seamless, easy, and efficient. We look forward to helping you select the best furniture options for your new office space!
