How Pricing Works for Used Office Furniture, Cubicles & Workstations


Looking to furnish your office on a budget? Buying used office furniture—especially cubicles and workstations—can save your business thousands without sacrificing quality. But how much should you expect to pay, and what determines the cost?

If you're shopping in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, or Delaware, here's what you need to know.


1. Furniture Condition = Big Impact on Price

Used doesn’t mean worn out—but the condition does affect cost.

  • Excellent/Like-New: Minimal wear, recent models – expect to pay 60–70% of the original price.

  • Good Condition: Some cosmetic scuffs, but fully functional – usually 40–60% of original.

  • Budget/As-Is: Lower-end or older units – priced 20–35%, often needing cleaning or small repairs.


2. Top Brands Hold More Value

High-end brands like Steelcase, Herman Miller, Knoll, and Haworth retain their resale value.

  • A used Herman Miller Aeron Chair can go for $500–$800 depending on condition.

  • Steelcase Answer workstations might range from $650–$950 per cubicle, including power and storage.

If you're buying used office furniture in NJ or NY, expect slightly higher prices for branded inventory due to higher demand.


3. Size, Layout & Features

Cubicle pricing varies based on dimensions and configuration:

  • 6'x6' or 6'x8' Cubicles: $500–$950 per station

  • Benching systems or open-plan desks: $300–$700

  • Private office setups or L-shape workstations: $750+

Added features like overhead storage, power modules, or upgraded finishes can increase the cost.


4. Delivery & Installation

Don't forget to factor in services:

  • Delivery across NJ, NY, PA, NC, VA, and DE depends on distance and building access.

  • Installation costs vary based on the number of workstations and site conditions.

Look for bundled pricing like:

5. Customization & Refurb Options

Want fresh fabric or modern colors? You can refurbish used cubicles for a fraction of the cost of new.

  • Panel reupholstery or laminate updates range from $50–$200 per station.

  • Customization is popular in North Carolina and Virginia, where office branding is a priority for growing tech and medical firms.


6. Age & Inventory Size

  • Larger matching sets (10+ cubicles) offer volume discounts.

  • Older furniture (10+ years) may be deeply discounted but less flexible for future expansion.


Final Takeaway: Used Office Furniture is Smart Business

Whether you're launching a startup in Philadelphia, expanding your firm in Charlotte, or remodeling in Long Island, buying used cubicles and workstations can reduce setup costs by 40–70%.
