How To Choose The Best Discount Office Furniture Bargains For Your Home Office
So you have made a decision to escape the rat race and start your own home business. One of the first steps is to set up a functional workspace for your new enterprise. You already have the essential computer and the next requirement is some office furniture. Even though you’d love a matching set of clean new furniture, you may find that discounted office furnishings are all you can afford right now.
Look for discounted furnishings that are both sturdy and will function well in the space you have. Perhaps pieces that require some assembly will work for you, usually found at a lower cost in special stores. These have the advantage of being easily disassembled to move at a later date. Choose the most comfortable furniture you can find, that also offers excellent support for your back.
It’s a good idea to check out both new or used furnishings. These are both often discounted and affordable. Scrutinize the advertising flyers from office supply depots or furniture stores to find things that are new but discounted for a reason. It may be they have scratches or are just slightly damaged, or have been discontinued. At other times special sales directed at students can give you a good deal on supplies for your office and even basic furniture like chairs and desks. These are all ways to keep to your budget.
If you do some online shopping, you may be surprised at the wide selection and competitive prices you can find. Many retail distributors market online, and usually have a discount section on their websites, where you can do comparison shopping. Think of the time you’ll save when all your shopping is done online rather than in person. Also check out the online advertising sites such as eBay and Craigslist for bargain buys. Either new or used furnishings are often advertised on those two sites for reasonable prices.
There are also huge online furniture depots that specialize in used office furnishings. They offer amazing selections of refurbished desks, office chairs, wood bookcases and filing cabinets. Some of their offerings are ‘as is’ while others have been refinished or reupholstered for you. You may find some solid and quality pieces at very discounted prices. Generally they will have almost anything you need to set up an office, and again, at a reasonable price.
You could also shop for second hand or used office furniture locally. Check the for sale columns in your local newspaper. Check out garage sales on the weekends. Visit the second hand shops. You may not find your dream desk, but if you can locate one that is clean, functional and will last for a few years and is priced right, then it will get you started.
Some new home businesses are set up using the dining room. Don’t be one of those who makes that mistake. A poor choice of office furniture will be uncomfortable and dysfunctional. Instead, make an investment you can afford in furniture that offers functionality and good physical support.
So keep those initial expenses in check by looking for office furniture that is either discounted, second hand or used, but still serviceable. Why spend more than is necessary at the beginning? Limit those start-up costs, and you will have more to invest in expanding and promoting your new business.
