Pre-owned Office Furniture Makes Financial and Ecological Sense

When creating a new office space there are several desired results that typically appear on a company’s wish list at the outset of the project. 1) You want to have quality furniture that looks great and will last a long time. 2) You don’t want to pay retail prices for quality A-grade office furniture. 3) You would like to utilize green products that are eco-friendly. The problem is that there is no way that all of these things can happen simultaneously, right? WRONG…keep reading….
EthoSource, a Pennsylvania firm specializing in refurbishing and redeploying used office furniture, brings the best of these worlds together. “A lot of the things you can do to make your business green are expensive,” COO Mark Miller points out. “They cost you, and the payout can be years in the future. Our customers get just what they need at a great price.”
EthoSource approaches the used office furniture business in two ways: first, they liquidate Grade A office furniture all over the country. “We might get a call from a company in Manhattan that’s moving and has three floors of office furniture to deal with,” Miller explains. “We remove their furniture and match it with customers who are looking for premium quality pre-owned office furniture.”
EthoSource sends digital pictures and complete descriptions with measurements and other details, and customers can also come and visit the furniture before making a decision, if they choose. EthoSource provides complete turnkey solutions, from space planning and design, through installation. These office furniture management services help make the process of furnishing your business a worry-free endeavor.
EthoSource also gets calls from companies wanting something specific: cubicles of a particular size and color, for example. EthoSource refurbishes Herman Miller’s Ethospace System cubicles to order. “Ethospace is built to last,” says Mark Miller, “so it really lends itself to being refurbished.”
The customers for this end of the business get custom office furniture at a highly discounted price, while also having the satisfaction of knowing that they’re reusing and recycling steel and other resources that could have entered the waste stream instead.
“You can have a great-looking office for less and be green at the same time,” Miller concludes.
