Second Hand Furniture Misconceptions and Myths

There's a common misconception that second hand office furniture is ratty, abused, and not suitable for an office.

It might have a scratch or two, but it pretty much looks like new office furniture.

The thing about new office furniture, is that it can be incredibly expensive and push a company quickly into debt. But if you think about it, furniture is very similar to cars. As soon as you drive your brand new car off the lot, it immediately depreciates in value. The same concept applies to furniture, and it allows you to save significant amounts of money without sacrificing style.

So if you're just getting started, it's a really good idea to shop around your areas local used furniture retailers. An even easier way is to just go online and conduct your search. This is important because you don't necessarily know how well your business will do in the future. As your business revenues increase and you start making more profit, you can always upgrade your furniture if you want to.
