BUYING ONLINE VS. BUYING FROM A FURNITURE DEALER: WHICH OPTION SHOULD I CHOOSE?

by Garrett Lovell on Aug 1, 2018 8:07:00 AM

In the words of our owner, Stan, "If you're only considering price...you're NOT considering all the costs".  Purchasing furniture for your office is one of the most important investments you'll ever make in your business.   The appearance of your office/facility is a reflection of your business.  Before you add that desk or chair to your cart in Amazon, let's take a moment to consider some factors at the time of purchase & beyond that cost both time and money:  How much time will be spent researching furniture options? How long will it take to space plan and/or measure your office(s)?  What about fabrics & finishes?  Who is going to assemble and/or install the product when it arrives?  How much time will be spent calling the manufacturer if there's a warranty issue?  Who is going to perform the necessary repair(s) once the replacement part arrives?  What are my options if the repair is no longer under warranty?  The sales, design & installation experts at Cal Bennett's are here to help guide you through the process from concept to installation & well beyond the initial sale.  Call, click or stop by our showroom & leave the rest to us!

Office furniture can be a major investment for a business owner. It is wise to consider what options you have for getting the furniture you need before you go off and make a purchase. Getting new furniture is a great option if it works for your situation and your budget. But, there are times when new office furniture is not a viable option. In these situations, you should consider purchasing used office furniture. There are high quality used office furniture vendors that can help you find something that meets your needs and fits within your budget. Times you should consider used office furniture instead of new include: when you are just getting started, when you are in a time of transition, and when your capital is being used elsewhere.
