A 6x6 cubicle gives one person about 36 square feet of working area inside the panels. It is the default size for open-plan offices because it balances privacy, storage and density. If you are shopping for 6x6 cubicles, you mainly need to decide which tier fits your budget and your move-in date. This page lays out the tradeoffs so you can make that call before you request a quote.
6x6 cubicle tiers
A workstation quote covers the furniture: panels, work surfaces and the standard components that make up the station. Electrical, delivery and professional installation are separate, and they are covered further down.
| Tier | Typical lead time | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Liquidation-grade | As little as 72 hours, in stock | Tight budgets, fast openings, temporary or overflow space |
| Remanufactured | Usually 7 to 14 days | A refreshed, consistent look without new-furniture pricing |
| New | 4 to 6 weeks | Specific finishes, long planning horizons, full new-product expectations |
The difference between tiers adds up quickly on a full floor, so it is worth deciding where each tier belongs before you order.
What each tier actually means
Liquidation-grade
These are pre-owned stations recovered from corporate office liquidations and sold in the condition they came out in, sorted by grade. Office Station uses three condition grades: A is like new, B is very good and C is good. Liquidation-grade is the fastest and least expensive way to furnish a room, and it is often the only option that can meet a deadline measured in days.
Remanufactured
Remanufactured stations start as pre-owned systems and are brought to a more uniform standard before they ship. They cost more than liquidation-grade and take one to two weeks. In return you get a more consistent appearance across a full floor.
New
New stations make sense when you need a finish or configuration that is not available pre-owned, or when your timeline already allows four to six weeks. They are the most expensive tier.
Planning the whole project
Furniture is the biggest line, but plan for these as well:
- Installation: quoted with your project, based on the number of stations, building access and the complexity of the layout.
- Delivery: quoted with your project, based on your address, building access and the size of the order. Nationwide freight is available.
- Electrical: not included. If your stations use powered panels, your electrician or building will handle the hardwire connection.
- Space planning: free. Send a floor plan and you get a layout before you commit.
What drives the price of a 6x6
- Grade. Liquidation-grade, remanufactured and new are the biggest single factor.
- Quantity. Larger orders are quoted together, and your count is reflected in the written quote.
- Panel height and power. Taller panels and powered runs add components.
- Storage and finishes. Pedestals, overheads and a matched fabric across the whole order all play a part.
Every project is quoted individually, and your written quote shows each line.
Will 6x6 cubicles fit your space?
A 6x6 is measured to the panel, not the centerline, so a row of stations takes slightly more floor than the math suggests once you account for panel thickness and end panels. Before you order, check:
- Aisle widths. Leave room for primary circulation and for chairs pushed back from the work surface.
- Column and window lines. Stations that land on a column lose a run of work surface.
- Power and data locations. Floor boxes, poke-throughs and wall feeds determine where powered runs can start.
- Panel height. Lower panels feel more open and share light. Taller panels add privacy and acoustic separation.
- Doorways and elevators. Confirm the delivery path, especially for upper floors.
If the floor plan says 6x6 does not quite work, an 8x8 cubicle gives managers more room, while a call center layout packs more seats into the same floor.
What to check on a pre-owned 6x6
- The condition grade quoted (A, B or C) and whether it is consistent across the order.
- Panel fabric and finish color, so every station in a row matches.
- Whether pedestals, overhead storage and keyboard trays are included or listed separately.
- Whether you may need extra panels or connectors to tie into furniture you already own.
Pair your stations with pre-owned office chairs to keep the whole seat affordable, or browse the wider pre-owned office furniture range.
What to send for an accurate 6x6 quote
A quote is only as good as the information behind it. To get a firm number quickly, include:
- The number of stations and the tier or tiers you want quoted.
- Your delivery address, so delivery or freight can be quoted accurately.
- Your target move-in date, which tells you right away whether liquidation-grade, remanufactured or new is realistic.
- A floor plan or a sketch with dimensions, even if it is rough.
- Whether you need installation, and any building rules about access hours or elevators.
With those details, you can compare tiers side by side on the same layout instead of guessing.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a 6x6 cubicle cost?
It depends on grade (liquidation-grade, remanufactured or new), panel height, finishes, storage, power and quantity, so every project is quoted individually. Electrical, delivery and professional installation appear as separate lines on the quote.
How quickly can I get 6x6 cubicles?
Liquidation-grade stations can ship in as little as 72 hours when they are in stock. Remanufactured stations usually take 7 to 14 days, and new stations take 4 to 6 weeks. If your move-in date is fixed, choose the tier that fits the calendar first.
Is a 6x6 cubicle big enough?
For most individual contributors, yes. A 6x6 comfortably holds a corner or L-shaped work surface, a task chair, a pedestal and one or two monitors. Roles that meet visitors at the desk or spread out large documents often do better in a larger footprint such as an 8x8.
Do manufacturer warranties come with pre-owned 6x6 stations?
Generally no. Office Station is an independent reseller, not an authorized dealer, and manufacturer warranties generally do not transfer to pre-owned furniture. Ask about the condition grade of the specific stations you are quoted.
Does the price include installation?
No. Installation is a separate line, quoted with your project based on the number of stations, building access and the complexity of the layout. Delivery is also quoted separately, based on your address, building access and the size of the order.
