Just What Does “Refurbished” Mean?

At EthoSource, we sell used furniture in “as is” condition — meaning that it has been used before, but is still in great shape and will work well for your office. Few of us have ever taken a new job and arrived in our office to find the furniture, which has been used by our predecessors, in anything but excellent condition.

We also refurbish Herman Miller Ethospace cubicles. Ethospace cubicles are the top of the line, the Mercedes of cubicles. Why do they need refurbishing?

  • The steel frames of Ethospace cubicles last forever. If the outer materials of a chair begin to look shabby, the chair is probably near the end of its useful life. The outer skin of an Ethospace cubicle can get shabby with long, hard use, but the inner structure retains its integrity. When EthoSource refurbishes a cubicle, all the materials that you see can be entirely new; in effect, you’re getting new cubicles for a much lower price.
  • We believe that the aesthetics of an office matter. Buying used cubicles from the company next to you can mean having a hodgepodge of colors and surface materials. Instead, you can choose refurbished cubicles from EthoSource and have the number of cubicles you need with the look you want. You make the right impression on your stakeholders and clients, your team gets the benefit of working in a pleasant environment, and you save money at the same time.
  • The flexibility of Ethospace is an essential part of its value. When we refurbish cubicles for you, we can make sure that each workstation meets the needs of the worker who will be using it, as well as the needs of the company as a whole. You don’t have to adapt to your office furnishings: we can make them work for you. Refurbished cubicles from EthoSource are created with things like privacy, collaboration, sound flow, traffic, lighting, technology, and workflow in mind.

One of our clients offered the word “upcycled” as an alternative to “refurbished,” because the cubicles you receive from EthoSource are better. Request a quote today.
