Revamping or starting with a blank office? If you’re considering buying used office chairs you’ll want to know how to do it without the fuss. No business owner or facilities manager wants to waste time buying sub-par furniture or waiting months for a chair to arrive. We’ve put together a helpful guide that will show you how to buy used office chairs in six simple steps.
Budget
Most businesses have a specific budget in mind, perhaps with a little room for manoeuvre. This is a great starting point that can help you narrow down your search. However, if your budget is on the larger side, other factors will more likely affect your final choice of chair.
What type of chairs?
For open-plan office spaces, ergonomic task chairs will be your go-to choice. Meeting and breakout rooms may require an entirely different type of chair, such as a cantilever or swivel chair.
By mapping out which rooms you require office chairs, you can begin to think about the types of chairs you need and how many.
Sometimes it can help to buy the tables and desks first, or even purchase a set. This will save you time and hassle.
Quantities
If you find a style of chair you like and you want to buy in bulk, check with the seller how many they have. Some companies may even offer discounts for bulk purchases.
Styling
Once you know the practical requirements (how many chairs you need, what type, allocated budget etc) you can move onto the design elements. If you have a distinctive company brand image you may want your used office chairs to reflect that.
Colours and materials may play a part in your final choice of chair. Some will offer two-tone colour combinations. On the used office chair market you should be able to find an abundance of styles and colours to suit your brand image.

Check warranty and delivery options
Before finalising a purchase decision on your used office seating it can be worth checking that there’s a warranty. Researching the delivery options is also important. If there’s a long waiting time for certain chairs, it may be worth choosing another provider. Also, you should check where the company delivers and how much they charge. They may offer click and collect, which if you’re local may be a more suitable option.
If you’re buying online, you may want to see the chairs and try them before making a purchase. Check that the used furniture seller offers this.
