When outfitting a business with new or used office furniture, there are three costly mistakes many owners and managers make. Below, Office Furniture Connectionthe leading seller of affordable work stations file cabinets, office chairs and other office necessities in Blue Ash, OH, and Erlanger, KY, discusses these mistakes.

3 Mistakes You Should Avoid When Buying Office Furniture

1. Short-term Thinking

When buying new or used furniture, Office furnituremake sure you consider the long-term needs of your business. Will changes in technology put new demands on your furniture? Is your company growing quickly? Are your services evolving so that your work stations will have to handle shifting functionality? Look for furniture that can be adapted to fluctuating needs instead of focusing on only your present circumstances. Otherwise, you may have to replace your furniture again shortly.

2. Choosing Cheap Furniture

Price is an important consideration. However, don't forego functionality and quality in favor of immediate cost savings. Rickety office furniture won't last, and furniture nobody wants to use is a waste of money.

3. Neglecting Employee Needs

Consider how your employees get their work done when selecting office furniture. If your business is collaborative, choose furniture that enables teamwork rather than a series of isolated work stations. Likewise, if your team members need quiet and privacy, an open floor plan is not advised.
