Used Office Chairs

Posted on April 23, 2011 by somchai

Used office chairs can in some cases be a surprisingly good option even from a long-term quality stand point. High quality ergonomic tend to be constructed very sturdily. Many ship with a warranty of 10 years or more, and some models are known to last well beyond this period.

Of course, there are some issues that you’ll need to be aware of when shopping for used office chairs in order to ensure that you’re getting a good deal and that your investment will provide you with appropriate comfort, quality, and durability.

Benefits of ergonomic office chairs

If you’re trying to decide between going with new, low-cost office chairs (meaning one that isn’t ergonomically designed) and used office chairs with ergonomic credentials, we strongly recommend going with the ergonomic option. Non-ergonomic chairs are, simply put, not worth having. They don’t do anything to maintain the health and physical condition of the people who sit in them, whereas ergonomic chairs actually work to prevent and relieve pain and maintain healthy breathing, posture, and circulation. Ergonomic chairs allow you to be healthier and more productive over the long term.

What to look for

The elements you’ll want to look for in used office chairs are largely the same as what you would want from a new ergonomic office chair. We feel that the most important thing for an ergonomic chair to have is a high number of adjustable parts; the more adjustable a chair is, the more ergonomic it is. This is because adjustability is the key to ensuring that the user is able to get that perfect fit from the chair, and the perfect fit is what will work to prevent discomfort and fatigue and provide all the aforementioned benefits.

A sturdy, steel base is especially important when looking for used office chairs. As is the case when buying any used item, it’s probably most practical to assume that it’s really been put through the ringer by its previous owner or owners. Having the materials and build quality to last through heavy duty use is always a good sign, and it’s pretty much a must if you’re buying used office chairs.

When in doubt, you can always maximize your chances of satisfaction by going with a trusted name. If you’re able to get a good deal on a used Steelcase Leap or Herman Miller Embody, for example, then you really can’t go wrong. These models are known to both provide superior comfort and support, and last a very long time.

What to avoid

One thing you may want to stay away from if you’re buying used office chairs is materials that are easily damaged. The more delicate a seating material is, the more likely it is to have visible signs of wear and tear. Mesh chairs, for example, are a little more damage-prone than some that use other materials in the seat or back. That being said, if you can ascertain that the mesh chair has come from a pet-free home, it’s probably a safe bet to be in good shape, provided that it meets the other criteria we’ve described above.

Used Chairs

Posted on March 16, 2011 by somchai

It has come to the point when you need to toss out your old chair and replace it with something new. The padding is worn down, the adjustments are not as functional as they used to be, your base is scratched, or maybe your chair is even flat-out broken. Owning an office chair is essential for any individual that spends time working at a desk during the day, whether it be at your business or at home. No matter what your reasoning is for needing a new chair, it is a problem that needs to be addressed as soon as possible and with everything else in life that becomes outdated, you will have to spend some money to get the latest and greatest. If breaking the bank is not a possibility for you right now and you need a more affordable alternative, consider purchasing a used office chair. There are many benefits to buying used office chairs including lower pricing, functionality, and upkeep. There are also a few things to look out for when purchasing used furniture.

Low Price

Purchasing a used office chair is much more affordable than purchasing a brand new chair. Because the chair has been previously used by another customer, office furniture dealers are able to provide a chair that once could have cost $500 brand new for a highly discounted price. This is beneficial to any business or home customer that is looking to save money while providing their employees or themselves with a comfortable chair to sit in. When looking for a used chair, be certain to fully understand the pricing. If a chair appears to be significantly lower in price than its original cost, ask a sales representative why there is such a large discrepancy in price. Do not be afraid to ask the same questions that you would normally ask when purchasing a new item, you will want to be certain that the product you are purchasing, although used, will last you for years to come. Many used office chairs also do not come with their original warranties, making it even more important to fully understand why the chair is considered to be used.

Functionality

Because they are sold at a cheaper price, people often assume that used chairs will not function to the same ability that a brand new chair would. The truth is, most will function just as efficiently and effective as a new chair. If the chair has been lightly used, the chair will most likely last as long as it is warranted for, which varies between different chair manufacturers. If purchasing a used chair from an internet retailer, again, if you have an apprehensions ask if the chair has any problems in functionality or design. Most internet retailers will not sell a chair as used unless it is in almost brand new condition; chairs that are defective or have problems are typically sent back to the original manufacturer for them to dispose of or take parts from, making purchasing online a much more reliable option. Brick and mortar stores may not fully examine a product for defects and will immediately put it back on their showroom floor after a return without prior inspection.

Upkeep

A chair can be considered used for a number of reasons, but most internet retailers will not sell it as used unless the chair has been preserved in almost original condition. Most chairs are returned for a reason as minuscule as the fabric did not match their home decor or the seat was too large for their build. In this situation, the next customer who purchases this chair will essentially be getting a terrific bargain by purchasing a chair that has been used for a few days with little to no risk of a defect occurring. Other times, a customer may use a chair for only a few days before determining that it did match up to their expectations and will return it to find something that fits them better or feels more comfortable. Another benefit to purchasing used chairs online is most retailers will specifically state if there is any damage to the product, whether there are minor scuffs on the base or a scratch in the fabric, this information is often disclosed. If this information is not readily available, ask a salesperson to provide you with the condition of the chair. Any person should be able to tell you this, or if not find someone who can.

Whether you are looking to save some extra money or want a discount office chair that is still fully functional, used office chairs are an advisable option for any home or business customer. There inherent benefits make them a wise choice for anyone looking to save money without having to compromise on quality, so long as time is spent researching prior to purchasing. Used furniture can be found through a number of different avenues including through the internet, at a local office furniture dealer, or sometimes even when a business closes down. Be sure to keep in mind that although saving money is always a priority, you do not want to compromise on quality which is why it is crucial to purchase from a reputable dealer. If purchasing a used chair is too much of a risk for you, there are also plenty of brand new chairs on sale that may fall into your price range. Many internet retailers run specials on chairs on a weekly basis with great savings to incur, so be on the look out for bargains if shopping online. Read More →
