Are your office chairs creaking
or missing backrests? Are conference tables scuffed and cracked? If so, then you’ve
probably thought about replacing them.
That being said, office furniture
replacement is a major expense, and companies naturally want to get the most
bang out of their buck. When shopping around for replacements, be aware of
these common buying mistakes so you can get the best possible furniture:
Scrimping on Quality
Companies would much rather make money than spend it, so it’s tempting
to buy cheap, no-name brand furniture to save on costs. Resist the urge, though.
If you’ll be replacing these subpar equipment every few years, you might as
well spend good money on high-quality furniture today and enjoy the long-term
savings.
Choosing Aesthetics over
Ergonomics
So you fancy that avant-garde style chair? There’s nothing wrong with
that—both employees and business owners would love beautiful furniture. However,
don’t let aesthetics guide your buying decision. If the chair looks nice but
makes your secretary’s back hurt, you’ll have to replace it eventually—a waste
of money, in short.
No Future in Mind
All business want to grow, so take in consideration your company’s plans
when buying furniture. For example, you might want to buy movable modular
tables instead of fixed ones, which allow you to add more units as the
workforce grows.
