When budget or schedule does not allow for new furniture, used can be a viable option. Make sure that whomever you buy from gives you a complete picture of all costs and risks when considering this choice. You will likely need to pay up front for design services if you want a firm budget. There might be a cube available for $700.00 per station but it doesn’t include the cost to tear down, move it, store it and reassemble it. Planning, inventory, tear down, new parts, temporary storage, project management, rebuilding and disposal of extra parts could add $500 to $800.00 a station easily. If there isn’t an inventory list available then a survey of parts and pieces needs to be made. The parts are then planned into your space to see if you can build what you need from the inventory or parts. If there are leftover parts there is an added cost to haul them away to be recycled or dumped. Many times you will have to make a commitment to buying the “entire lot”.
