Friant is known for systems furniture that balances clean design with a practical price point. Those same qualities make used Friant cubicles a smart way to outfit an office: the components are built for commercial duty, and a well-kept station can serve a second office for years.
Office Station sells pre-owned Friant workstations as an independent reseller. You get a clear condition grade, an itemized written quote and a straight answer on lead time. You do not get a sales pitch implying a used cubicle is new.
What buying from an independent reseller means
We are not an authorized Friant dealer. Our pre-owned inventory comes from the used furniture market, including office liquidation and decommissioning projects. That affects three things you should plan around.
- Warranty. Manufacturer warranties generally do not transfer to pre-owned furniture. Assume no factory coverage.
- Availability. Friant lines, panel heights, fabrics and finishes vary by lot. Matched quantities depend on what is in inventory when you order.
- Price. You pay for a used workstation in a stated condition, not dealer list pricing.
Condition grades for Friant workstations
Every pre-owned station gets one of three grades. The grade describes how the furniture looks and functions today, not what it looked like when it shipped from the factory.
| Grade | Label | What you will typically see | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Like new | Clean fabric, work surface edges intact, little or no visible wear on trim | Client-facing areas, executive support teams |
| B | Very good | Light scuffs on trim or surfaces, clean fabric, all hardware functional | Most open office rollouts |
| C | Good | Visible wear on surfaces or panel faces, structurally sound | Back office, call centers, budget-driven expansions |
What drives the cost of used Friant cubicles
The biggest factor is the path you choose. Here are the three side by side for a standard 6x6 workstation, before you think about brand or finish.
| Option | Typical lead time |
|---|---|
| Liquidation-grade | As little as 72 hours, in stock |
| Remanufactured | Usually 7 to 14 days |
| New | 4 to 6 weeks |
Beyond the grade, the furniture line depends on station size, panel height, finishes and how many matched stations are in inventory. The rest of the budget comes together like this:
- Space planning: free.
- Installation: based on the number of stations, building access and the complexity of the layout.
- Delivery: based on your address, building access and the size of the order. Outside Greater Phoenix, freight is quoted per project.
- Quantity: larger orders are quoted together, and your quantity is reflected in the written quote.
- Electrical: not included; plan for a licensed electrician.
Every project is quoted individually. Request a free quote and free space plan.
Liquidation-grade or remanufactured?
The right choice depends on how the space will be used and how soon you need it.
Choose liquidation-grade when speed and budget come first. It suits a temporary project team, overflow seating or an office where appearance is secondary. The grade tells you what wear to expect.
Choose remanufactured when the stations need to look consistent across a floor and hold up to a longer stay. It costs more than liquidation-grade but still comes in well under new, and the lead time is usually measured in days rather than weeks.
Many offices mix the two. Remanufactured stations go where clients and new hires see them first, and liquidation-grade fills interior rows.
What to check on a used Friant workstation
If you are reviewing stations in person or through photos, work through this list on a sample from the lot.
- Panel fabric. Look for stains, snags, fading and loose edges, especially at chair height.
- Panel frames and trim. Check for bent frames, cracked end caps and missing top caps.
- Connectors. Confirm corner and in-line connectors come with the panels. Missing connectors are the most common reason a pre-owned layout stalls on install day.
- Work surfaces. Inspect edges for chips and the laminate for peeling or deep scratches. Confirm brackets are included.
- Storage. Open every drawer and overhead. Locks should turn, and keys should be accounted for or cores replaceable.
- Power. If the panels are powered, note the configuration and plan for a licensed electrician to verify and connect it. Electrical is not included in furniture pricing.
- Quantity match. Count panels by height and width against your plan, not just total stations.
Adding to Friant stations you already own
If your office already has Friant workstations, pre-owned components can be a cost-effective way to add seats. Send photos of your existing stations, including panel labels, top caps and connectors, along with your panel heights and fabric colors. We will tell you honestly whether matching inventory is available or whether a complementary finish makes more sense.
Friant has offered more than one systems line over the years, and parts are not always interchangeable between them. Confirming the line before you buy avoids a mismatch.

Frequently asked questions
Is Office Station an authorized Friant dealer?
No. Office Station is an independent reseller of pre-owned furniture, not an authorized Friant dealer. We grade each workstation so you know its condition before you commit.
Does the Friant warranty come with used cubicles?
Generally, no. Manufacturer warranties generally do not transfer to pre-owned furniture. Base your decision on the condition grade and an inspection of the panels, work surfaces and hardware.
How much does a used Friant cubicle cost?
It depends on grade (liquidation-grade, remanufactured or new), station size, panel height, finishes and quantity, so every project is quoted individually. Pre-owned stations cost well below new. Electrical, delivery and professional installation are separate lines on the quote.
How fast can I get used Friant workstations?
Liquidation-grade stations can be ready in as little as 72 hours when they are in stock. Remanufactured stations usually take 7 to 14 days. New furniture typically takes 4 to 6 weeks.
Can you deliver outside Phoenix?
Yes. Delivery is quoted with your project, based on your address, building access and the size of the order. Outside Greater Phoenix, freight is quoted per project based on quantity and destination.
