How to save 60%–80% on your next office fit-out using refurbished furniture

Introduction: Why Office Fit-Out Costs Are Increasing — And Why Businesses Are Finding Smarter Alternatives

Furnishing an office used to be a straightforward task: choose desks, choose chairs, add storage, then fill the rest of the space with whatever suits the team’s workflow. Today, the landscape is very different. Fit-out costs have risen sharply, supply chains are slower, workspaces demand more flexibility, sustainability targets are stricter, and businesses are expected to create environments that support wellbeing, culture and productivity — all while keeping spend under control.

As a result, organisations across the UK are being forced to rethink their approach to sourcing office furniture. The traditional method of buying brand-new products at retail or contract prices is no longer the default. Instead, an increasing number of companies are turning to refurbished and second-user office furniture — and saving 60%–80% on their total fit-out costs as a result.

This shift isn’t just a trend. It’s the result of a clear economic, environmental and operational advantage that second-user furniture provides. And for many businesses, this approach is not only helping them reduce costs, but also to future-proof their workspace strategy.

This comprehensive guide explores how refurbished furniture can dramatically reduce your office fit-out spend, the real-world savings companies achieve, how to evaluate quality, what to avoid, and how you can create a modern, professional, cohesive office environment without paying new-product prices.

By the end, you'll understand exactly how businesses reduce fit-out costs by 60%–80% — and how you can do the same without compromising on quality, aesthetics or functionality.


SECTION 1: The Cost Problem — Why Traditional Office Fit-Outs Are So Expensive

Before exploring how refurbished furniture saves money, it’s crucial to understand why fit-out costs have escalated.

1. The Price of New Office Furniture Has Risen 25%–40% Since 2020

Manufacturers have been hit with:

  • Higher material costs

  • Increased energy and production costs

  • More expensive international shipping

  • Longer lead times

  • Global supply chain disruptions

These increases have been passed directly onto consumers. A mesh-back task chair that cost £180 five years ago may now retail at £260–£300. Bench desks that were £250 per position are now £350–£450 depending on finish and configuration. When multiplied across 20, 50, or 200+ employees, these increases quickly add up.

2. Modern Offices Require More Than Just Desks and Chairs

Today’s workplaces are built around:

  • Collaboration spaces

  • Soft seating and breakout furniture

  • Meeting zones and quiet rooms

  • Hot-desking areas

  • Hybrid working layouts

  • Adjustable and ergonomic setups

The range of furniture required is broader than ever — and new items can be expensive.

3. Premium Brands Dominate the Market

Companies often gravitate towards well-known manufacturers such as:

  • Herman Miller

  • Steelcase

  • Senator

  • Orangebox

  • Kinnarps

  • Vitra

These brands produce exceptional products — but they come with premium price tags when purchased new.

4. Businesses Need Faster Turnaround Times Than Ever Before

Office expansions, relocations and restructures now happen quickly.
Lead times of 4–12 weeks for new furniture don’t align with operational demands.

Second-user and refurbished items, by contrast, are usually in stock and ready to deliver within days.


SECTION 2: Why Refurbished Furniture Saves 60%–80% on Fit-Out Costs

Now we get to the core question: How do businesses save up to 80% by choosing refurbished furniture?

Here are the strongest contributing factors.


1. You’re Buying Furniture That Has Already Absorbed Its Depreciation

Just like cars, office furniture depreciates heavily the moment it is purchased.

A desk bought new for £450 may resell for £120–£180 as a second-user item — even if it's in excellent condition.
An ergonomic task chair retailing at £350–£600 may sell refurbished for £90–£150.

That depreciation has already happened — which means you benefit directly from the price drop without sacrificing performance.


2. Second-User Furniture Is Usually Commercial-Grade — So It Lasts Longer

Most second-user stock originates from:

  • Corporate headquarters

  • Blue-chip companies

  • Financial-sector offices

  • Tech companies

  • Large government buildings

These organisations purchase contract-grade furniture, built to last 10–20 years under heavy daily use.

You’re not buying “cheap used furniture.”
You’re buying high-quality commercial furniture that still has a long lifespan ahead of it.


3. Refurbished Furniture Is Restored to a Professional Standard

Reputable suppliers (such as HS Online) carry out processes such as:

  • Deep cleaning

  • Steam extraction

  • Reupholstering (if required)

  • Mechanism checks

  • Structural checks

  • Replacement of missing or damaged components

  • Resprays or refinishing

  • Full safety and functionality inspections

The result: furniture that looks and performs almost like new, at a fraction of the cost.


4. Second-User Furniture Allows for Bulk Purchasing

Traditional office fit-out budgets get eaten up quickly when trying to buy matching items in quantity.

Refurbished suppliers often have:

  • 20

  • 50

  • 100

  • 300+

matching items coming out of corporate clearances.
Bulk purchasing = bulk saving.


5. You Avoid Waste — and Waste is Expensive

Throwing away old furniture is costly due to rising disposal and skip fees.

By buying refurbished furniture, businesses:

  • Reduce landfill waste

  • Reduce disposal fees

  • Reduce carbon footprint

  • Contribute to circular economy targets

This directly transforms waste cost into cost savings.


6. Delivery Is Faster — and Time Saves Money

Delays in new furniture can disrupt:

  • Office openings

  • Recruitment timelines

  • Staff productivity

  • Client meetings

  • Move-in schedules

Second-user items are available immediately, reducing downtime and hidden costs.

SECTION 3: Real Cost Comparisons — New vs Refurbished Office Furniture

To understand the true financial advantage of refurbished furniture, it helps to look at real-world scenarios. Below are several examples demonstrating how businesses save between 60% and 80% on typical office fit-out items.

These figures are based on current UK market averages (2025), as well as the pricing structure commonly seen across refurbished suppliers like HS Online.


1. Desks & Bench Workstations

New Bench Desk (per user position)

  • Average Cost: £350–£450

  • Cable management, modesty panels, modern frame design

Refurbished Bench Desk

  • Cost: £120–£160

Savings:

  • £200–£300 per workstation (60%–70%)

  • For a 50-person office: £10,000–£15,000 saved


2. Ergonomic Operator Chairs

New Contract-Grade Chair

  • Standard models: £200–£350

  • Premium ergonomic models: £450–£650

Refurbished Operator Chair

  • Standard refurbished: £70–£120

  • Premium refurbished: £120–£180

Savings:

  • £150–£400 per chair (65%–80%)

  • For 50 chairs: £7,500–£20,000 saved


3. Lockers & Storage

New metal lockers (per unit)

  • £120–£180

Refurbished lockers

  • £40–£70

Savings:

  • £60–£110 per locker (55%–70%)

When outfitting hybrid offices or hot-desking zones, these savings add up very quickly.


4. Meeting Room Furniture

New meeting table (6–8 person)

  • £600–£1,200

Refurbished meeting table

  • £150–£350

New meeting chairs

  • £100–£250 each

Refurbished meeting chairs

  • £30–£70 each

Savings:

  • £800–£1,500 per meeting room

For companies fitting out multiple meeting rooms or collaboration zones, refurbished items reduce costs dramatically.


5. Soft Seating & Breakout Areas

Soft seating is one of the most expensive categories when buying new.

New soft seating

  • Armchair: £250–£450

  • Sofa: £500–£900

  • Modular breakout seating: £300–£700 per module

Refurbished soft seating

  • Armchair: £80–£150

  • Sofa: £150–£300

  • Modular seating: £100–£200 per module

Savings:

  • £300–£1,200 per breakout area

Soft seating is where refurbished furniture can save companies the highest percentage.


6. Full Office Example — 50-Person Fit-Out

Here’s what a typical 50-person office might require:

  • 50 desks

  • 50 operator chairs

  • 20 lockers

  • 3 meeting rooms

  • 1 break zone

  • 1 reception area

Cost if purchased new:
Approx. £50,000–£70,000

Cost if purchased refurbished:
Approx. £18,000–£25,000

Total savings:
£30,000–£45,000 (60%–75%)

For larger organisations (100–500+ employees), the savings can reach six-figure levels.


SECTION 4: How to Create a Premium Office Using Second-User Furniture

One misconception businesses often have is that refurbished or second-user furniture means the office will look mismatched or outdated.

That is no longer the case.

Modern refurbished suppliers — especially ones like HS Online — specialise in sourcing large matching batches of contemporary, stylish, commercial-grade furniture.

Here’s how businesses can create a premium, cohesive space on a much smaller budget.


1. Work in Matching Batches

One of the biggest advantages of second-user furniture is that full batches come from:

  • Corporate clearances

  • Large office relocations

  • Blue-chip organisations upgrading equipment

You can easily secure:

  • 20 matching desks

  • 40–60 matching chairs

  • Sets of lockers

  • Matching meeting chairs

This makes it possible to create a high-end, consistent visual aesthetic.


2. Use Modern, Neutral Finishes

Popular finishes that always look high-end:

  • White/grey bench desks

  • Black or grey mesh-back chairs

  • Light oak or walnut meeting tables

  • Grey metal storage

These finishes complement nearly any office interior design scheme.

Refurbished furniture commonly comes in these finishes because they’re standard in the corporate world.


3. Incorporate Soft Seating and Breakout Furniture

Soft seating is where refurbished furniture delivers immense design value.

Adding:

  • Modular seating

  • Lounge chairs

  • Sofas

  • Acoustic panels

  • Booth seating

…creates a modern, hybrid-friendly environment while keeping spend low.

With refurbished options costing 65%–80% less, businesses can invest more in the “high-impact” areas of the space.


4. Blend New and Refurbished Items

Many of the best office designs mix:

  • New furniture for the feature areas

  • Refurbished furniture for the main workspace

For example:

  • Buy new reception furniture

  • Use refurbished workstations and task chairs

  • Add a mix of refurbished and new items in breakout zones

This hybrid approach maximises savings while ensuring the office feels modern and intentional.


5. Focus on Layout and Zoning

The layout matters more than the age of the furniture.

Using refurbished furniture with strong zoning creates a premium look:

  • Clear work zones

  • Soft seating for collaboration

  • Quiet focus pods

  • Tea points

  • Informal meeting corners

  • Open-plan with adjustable seating

With a good layout, refurbished furniture enhances the design rather than limiting it.


SECTION 5: Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Refurbished Furniture

While refurbished furniture offers tremendous value, businesses should avoid common pitfalls.


1. Buying from sellers who don’t refurbish — only “resell”

Not all second-user suppliers refurbish items.
Some simply collect, resell, and ship items as-is.

These suppliers often have:

  • Inconsistent quality

  • Dirty or damaged items

  • Missing components

  • No checks or grading

Always choose a company that performs professional refurbishment, cleaning, and quality assurance — like HS Online.


2. Not checking batch quantities

If you need 50 matching chairs, make sure the supplier genuinely has 50 in the same model and condition.


3. Ignoring dimensions and layout planning

Used furniture still needs:

  • Correct desk sizes

  • Proper spacing

  • Compliance with walkway standards

  • Consistent ergonomics

Measure your space first — or ask your supplier to help.


4. Forgetting about delivery access

Older buildings or serviced offices may require furniture to be delivered in smaller components.


5. Focusing only on price

The cheapest refurbished furniture isn’t always the best value.

Mid-range refurbished items often provide:

  • Longer lifespan

  • Better ergonomics

  • Higher build quality

A £70 refurbished chair from a premium brand may outperform a £120 refurbished chair from a low-quality brand.


SECTION 6: How HS Online Refurbishes and Quality-Checks Furniture

HS Online follows a detailed, professional refurbishment process for all furniture items. This ensures consistency, reliability, and a near-new appearance upon delivery.

Here’s what happens behind the scenes:


1. Full Inspection & Grading

Every item is assessed for:

  • Structural integrity

  • Wear and tear

  • Mechanical function

  • Aesthetic condition

This grading determines whether the item can be refurbished or needs parts replaced.


2. Deep Cleaning & Sanitisation

We use:

  • Steam extraction

  • Upholstery cleaning machines

  • Surface sanitisation

  • Degreasers and commercial cleaning products

Every chair, desk and storage unit is fully cleaned before refurbishment begins.


3. Mechanical Repairs & Adjustments

Common repairs include:

  • Replacing castors

  • Fixing height mechanisms

  • Adjusting armrests

  • Tightening frames

  • Replacing gas lifts

  • Repairing drawer runners

  • Fixing locks and locker components

This ensures every item meets commercial-grade standards.


4. Cosmetic Repairs

Including:

  • Touch-ups

  • Polishing

  • Repainting metal frames

  • Replacing modesty panels

  • Fitting new desk tops (if needed)

The goal is to provide a product that looks excellent in any modern office.


5. Replacement of Missing Components

Such as:

  • Keys for lockers

  • Arm pads

  • Cable trays

  • Desk legs or beams

  • Under-desk pedestals


6. Final Quality Control Check

Nothing leaves our warehouse until it passes a final inspection for:

  • Cleanliness

  • Functionality

  • Stability

  • Aesthetic standard

This ensures every customer receives a product that looks and performs to a professional level.

SECTION 7: Sustainability & ESG — Why Refurbished Furniture Supports Corporate Responsibility

In the modern business landscape, sustainability is no longer a “nice to have.” It is a core expectation — from customers, employees, investors, and regulatory bodies. Organisations are increasingly scrutinised for their environmental impact, making procurement choices a fundamental part of demonstrating responsible business practice.

Refurbished office furniture plays a significant role in helping companies meet their ESG and sustainability objectives. Here’s why.


1. Dramatically Reduced Carbon Footprint

Manufacturing new office furniture consumes large quantities of:

  • Steel

  • Aluminium

  • Plastics

  • Fabric and foam

  • Wood and composite materials

Each of these has a measurable carbon cost. By choosing refurbished items, businesses eliminate the manufacturing cycle entirely because the product already exists.

Typical CO₂ savings (per item)

  • Mesh-back task chair: 20–40 kg CO₂e saved

  • Desk or workstation: 30–70 kg CO₂e saved

  • Metal storage/lockers: 40–90 kg CO₂e saved

  • Meeting tables: 60–120 kg CO₂e saved

Across a full office fit-out, the environmental benefits are substantial. A 50-person office can save 4–8 tonnes of CO₂e, equivalent to:

  • Over 30,000 km of car travel

  • The annual footprint of an average UK household

These are numbers that matter — to your team, customers, and ESG scorecard.


2. Diverting Furniture from Landfill

Every year, tens of thousands of tonnes of perfectly usable office furniture are sent to landfill because companies:

  • Move buildings

  • Close offices

  • Downsize

  • Refurbish

  • Shift to hybrid working

Most of this furniture is built to contract-grade standards and can easily last another decade.

By repurposing these items:

  • Waste is reduced

  • Disposal costs are avoided

  • Circular economy principles are supported

This is an actionable sustainability win that businesses can proudly communicate in their reporting.


3. Supporting the Circular Economy

The circular economy encourages:

  • Reuse

  • Refurbishment

  • Repair

  • Life-cycle extension

Second-user office furniture is a perfect example of the circular economy in action. It allows businesses to reduce environmental impact without compromising quality or function.

Companies increasingly include circular economy targets in their:

  • Annual ESG reports

  • ISO 14001 frameworks

  • Sustainability statements

  • Social value initiatives

  • B-Corp guidelines

Refurbished furniture provides tangible, measurable contributions to these commitments.


4. Better Value for CSR Communications

Sustainability isn’t just internal — customers care too.

By promoting the fact that your office uses refurbished, low-impact furniture, you demonstrate:

  • Environmental responsibility

  • Cost-conscious decision-making

  • Ethical procurement

  • A modern approach to workplace design

It supports brand reputation and builds trust with stakeholders.


SECTION 8: Case Studies — How Businesses Save 60%–80% in Practice

To make the savings realistic, here are a few examples based on actual market conditions and typical customer scenarios. These demonstrate how refurbished furniture transforms budgets.

Approx. £55,000–£70,000

Savings:

£85,000–£110,000 (60%–70%)

The education sector frequently benefits from refurbished furniture due to funding constraints, public responsibility, and large student numbers requiring durable, affordable solutions.


Case Study 3: Corporate Office Move (80 Staff)

Requirement:

  • 80 sit-stand desks

  • 80 ergonomic chairs

  • 40 lockers

  • Reception seating

  • High tables for collaboration

Total Savings:

£50,000+ compared to fully new.

Mixing new + refurbished is one of the most effective strategies for achieving a premium look while dramatically cutting costs.


SECTION 9: Advanced Cost-Saving Strategies Using Refurbished Furniture

If you want to save the maximum amount possible on your office fit-out, these high-level strategies ensure you squeeze every bit of value from your budget.


1. Use refurbished furniture for the “high-quantity” items

These include:

  • Workstations

  • Operator chairs

  • Storage units

  • Lockers

These items make up 70%+ of your total furniture spend.
Switching them to refurbished instantly reduces the majority of your cost.


2. Mix refurbished with a select few new “showpiece” items

Examples of new items worth investing in:

  • Reception furniture

  • Feature lighting

  • Acoustic panels

  • Branding elements

  • Breakout feature pieces

This allows you to achieve a modern, design-led environment while keeping the back-office areas highly cost-effective.


3. Choose bench desking instead of standalone desks

Bench desks:

  • Reduce cable management costs

  • Save space

  • Are cheaper refurbished

  • Allow for quick extensions

  • Create cleaner aesthetics

Savings can reach 30% versus standalone desk setups.


4. Buy in batches, not individual pieces

Request:

  • Full sets

  • Matching quantities

  • Job-lot deals

  • Clearance bundles

Bulk-buying matching items yields maximum savings.


5. Avoid designer brands unless necessary

Brands like Herman Miller, Vitra, and Steelcase are exceptional — but refurbished prices are still higher than standard commercial furniture.

If the budget is tight, choose refurbished mid-tier brands:

  • Orangebox

  • Senator

  • Kinnarps

  • Techo

  • Allermuir

These provide excellent ergonomics and durability at much lower prices.


6. Use refurbished furniture to scale quickly

Growing organisations often need:

  • Immediate furniture

  • Zero delays

  • Fast setups

  • Expansion-ready layouts

Refurbished stock is in-house and ready to deliver, reducing:

  • Downtime

  • Hiring delays

  • Project overruns

  • Temporary workspace costs


7. Prioritise ergonomic refurbished chairs over cheap new chairs

A £60–£90 refurbished premium chair outperforms a cheap new £120–£140 chair in:

  • Comfort

  • Adjustability

  • Reliability

  • Warranty

  • Lifespan

Premium refurbished chairs are one of the biggest cost-saving wins.


8. Take advantage of refurbished meeting room furniture

Meeting rooms are typically used for:

  • Internal catch-ups

  • Client meetings

  • Training sessions

Yet businesses often overspend on furniture that isn't used constantly.

Refurbished meeting tables and chairs provide:

  • A professional look

  • Durable build

  • Huge cost savings

At savings of 70%+, this is usually the first area businesses choose to refurbish.


9. Use refurbished soft seating to enhance workplace culture

Breakout spaces improve:

  • Collaboration

  • Creativity

  • Staff wellbeing

  • Office culture

Refurbished soft seating enables companies to create these spaces affordably — where new items would have been out of budget.


SECTION 10: Why Refurbished Furniture Aligns with Modern Corporate Culture

Today’s employees value:

  • Sustainability

  • Responsible spending

  • Comfortable work environments

  • Flexibility

  • Ethical workplaces

  • Meaningful corporate decisions

Choosing refurbished furniture demonstrates:

  • Environmental leadership

  • Practical financial management

  • Conscious procurement

  • A modern, forward-thinking approach

Companies that make sustainable choices become more attractive to:

  • Employees

  • Investors

  • Clients

  • Partners

It strengthens your brand and positions you as a responsible organisation in your sector.

SECTION 11: Additional Advanced Strategies for Maximising Savings

To complete the deep dive, here are the final high-impact strategies businesses can use to save even more during an office fit-out using refurbished furniture.


1. Plan Your Layout Before Sourcing Furniture

A common mistake is buying furniture first and then designing the layout.
Instead:

  • Measure accurately

  • Plan department zones

  • Determine desk clustering

  • Define meeting room footprints

  • Identify collaboration spaces

A precise layout means you buy only what you need.

This can reduce furniture quantity by 10%–25%, lowering your total spend significantly.


2. Standardise Desk Sizes & Shapes

Refurbished furniture availability varies by:

  • Desk depth

  • Desk width

  • Frame design

  • Top material

Choosing common, standard sizes (1200mm & 1400mm for example) increases your ability to buy matching stock — and access the best deals.


3. Choose Neutral & Modern Colour Schemes

Neutral tones such as:

  • White

  • Grey

  • Maple

  • Oak

  • Black frames

…work with almost any office design, making refurbished furniture blend seamlessly with new items or existing decor.

This reduces the need for future replacements.


4. Repurpose Old Furniture Where Possible

Examples:

  • Use old desktops as shelf panels

  • Reuse pedestals for storage clusters

  • Convert unused tables into collaboration zones

  • Reupholster soft seating instead of replacing

This aligns with both cost-saving and sustainability goals.


5. Ask About Quality Grades

Most reputable refurbishers grade their furniture:

  • Grade A: Excellent condition

  • Grade B: Minor cosmetic wear

  • Grade C: Heavy wear but functional

Mixing Grade A for client-facing spaces with Grade B for back-office areas can reduce your spend by a further 10%–15%.


6. Use Refurbished Furniture for Temporary Projects

If you’re:

  • Opening a temporary workspace

  • Onboarding temporary staff

  • Running a project site

  • Expanding short-term

Refurbished furniture prevents unnecessary capital expenditure and can be resold or reused later.


7. Request Pallet-Loads or Job-Lot Deals

If you have flexibility, buying “as is” job lots can secure enormous savings.
These bulk loads often include:

  • Desks

  • Chairs

  • Lockers

  • Tables

  • Miscellaneous storage

…and are usually priced to clear quickly.

Savings of 70%–85% are common when buying full pallets or job lots.


8. Combine Refurbished Furniture With Flexible Working

By embracing hybrid or flexible working models:

  • You reduce the desk-per-person ratio

  • You need fewer chairs

  • You minimise storage needs

  • You reduce soft seating demand

  • You lower meeting room requirements

This directly reduces the amount of furniture required — amplifying savings even further.


SECTION 12: Full Summary — How Businesses Save 60%–80% on Office Fit-Outs

To summarise the full guide, here are the core reasons refurbished furniture cuts office fit-out costs by up to 80%:


1. Refurbished Furniture Has Already Depreciated

This is the No.1 financial advantage.
You’re buying products after the initial 50%–70% depreciation occurs — without losing functionality.

2. Commercial-Grade Quality Lasts 10–20 Years

Corporate-grade furniture outperforms cheap new furniture, meaning refurbished is often more durable.

3. Large Matching Batches Reduce Cost

Clearances and office relocations allow suppliers like HS Online to sell 20, 50, 100+ matching items at deep discounts.

4. Refurbishment Enhances the “Like-New” Appearance

Deep cleaning, repairs, and reconditioning dramatically extend lifespan.

5. Lead Times Are Faster

Immediate stock availability prevents delays, downtime, and project overruns.

6. Businesses Can Mix New and Refurbished Items

Strategically combining both allows premium design at a fraction of the cost.

7. Soft Seating and Meeting Room Furniture Are Big Wins

These categories offer 70%–85% savings versus new.

8. Waste Disposal Costs Are Avoided or Reduced

Reusing furniture prevents landfill and skip fees.

9. Sustainability and ESG Benefits Provide Additional Value

ESG reporting, carbon savings, and circular economy benefits support long-term corporate goals.

10. Advanced Planning Prevents Over-Purchasing

Proper layout planning reduces unnecessary spending by 10%–25%.


SECTION 13: Final Thoughts — Why Refurbished Furniture Is the Future of Office Fit-Outs

As businesses across the UK continue to prioritise:

  • Cost efficiency

  • Sustainability

  • Flexibility

  • Employee wellbeing

  • Modern design

  • Fast project turnarounds

…refurbished furniture has become one of the most practical and strategic procurement decisions a company can make.

The outdated stigma of “used furniture” has disappeared — replaced by a professional, environmentally responsible, financially smart alternative that outperforms traditional fit-out methods in almost every category.

Organisations that embrace refurbished furniture gain:

  • A lower capital expenditure

  • A smaller carbon footprint

  • A faster installation process

  • A more adaptable workplace

  • A premium aesthetic without premium prices

For startups, SMEs, large corporates, educational institutions, and public-sector organisations — refurbished furniture is not a compromise.
It is a competitive advantage.

With the right supplier, you can achieve a workspace that is modern, cohesive, productive, and sustainable — while saving 60%–80% compared to buying new.
