Common Myths Surrounding Used Office Furniture

When businesses think about used office furniture, the idea of purchasing brand-new pieces seems like the only viable option. At Storr PreOwned, we offer high-quality, cost-effective, and sustainable alternatives, but many misconceptions prevent companies from even considering buying preowned. We're here to set the record straight and debunk some of the most common myths about used office furniture.

Myth #1—Used Office Furniture is Low Quality

Many people assume that used office furniture is damaged, outdated, or sometimes even barely functional In reality, the furniture we offer comes from high-quality brands that build their pieces to last. Brands like Steelcase and AMQ design office chairs, desks, and workstations to endure years of daily use, meaning that used furniture still has plenty of life left. Additionally, the items we source come from companies that have downsized, relocated, or renovated—not because the furniture was no longer usable. 

Myth #2—Used Office Furniture is Unsanitary

A common myth about anything used is that it is dirty or unhygienic. However, before you receive a product from Storr PreOwned, each piece is professionally inspected and cleaned, ensuring your new office furniture is pristine. Our professional and eco-friendly cleaning processes ensure that your used office furniture meets high standards of cleanliness.
