Why pre-owned Teknion is worth a look
Teknion furniture is designed for large corporate floors, which means it is engineered for heavy daily use, repeated reconfiguration and long service lives. When a company relocates or downsizes, that furniture often has years of useful life left. Buying it pre-owned lets you put commercial-grade systems furniture in your office for a fraction of the new cost, and usually much sooner.
The trade-off is that you are buying what exists, not what you configure from a catalog. That makes grading, series matching and honest warranty expectations more important than they are with new furniture.
What pre-owned Teknion typically includes
Inventory depends on which offices are being cleared, so availability changes. These are the categories that most often come out of corporate Teknion installations:
- Panel-based workstations. Cubicle systems with fabric or glass tiles, worksurfaces and hanging storage. These are the core of most large lots and the easiest place to save money.
- Benching and open-plan desks. Shared-spine desking for teams that do not need high privacy panels.
- Storage. Pedestals, lateral files, towers and credenzas. Storage is often the best-condition furniture in a liquidation because it moves the least.
- Tables. Conference, meeting and training tables, sometimes with power modules.
- Seating. Task, conference and guest chairs, covered in more detail below.
If you need a specific series or a matched set for a full floor, tell us the count and any existing furniture you are matching. It is easier to find the right lot when we know the target up front.
Independent reseller: what that means for you
Office Station sells pre-owned Teknion as an independent reseller. We are not an authorized Teknion dealer and are not affiliated with the manufacturer. In practice, that means three things:
- No transferred warranty. Manufacturer warranties generally do not transfer to pre-owned furniture.
- No factory ordering. We cannot order new Teknion parts or finishes through the manufacturer on your behalf.
- Condition is the promise. Every item is graded so you know what you are getting before it arrives.
How condition grades work
| Grade | What it means | Good fit for |
|---|---|---|
| A: Like new | Minimal to no visible wear, fully functional | Client-facing areas, executive offices |
| B: Very good | Light signs of use, fully functional | Most open-plan workstations and meeting rooms |
| C: Good | Visible cosmetic wear, fully functional | Back-office, call centers, storage, budget builds |
Liquidation-grade vs remanufactured pricing
Pre-owned systems furniture comes in two broad forms. Liquidation-grade furniture is sold largely as it came out of the previous office, cleaned and graded. Remanufactured furniture has been reworked, which can include new fabric, refinished surfaces or replaced components, so it looks more consistent across a large floor.
Here is a 6x6 workstation benchmark, furniture only, to help you budget:
| Option | 6x6 workstation price | Typical lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Liquidation-grade | $615 | As little as 72 hours in stock |
| Remanufactured | $1,245 | Usually 7 to 14 days |
| New | $1,920 | 4 to 6 weeks |
Average market rate Prices subject to availability and project pricing.
These figures exclude electrical, delivery and professional installation. Actual Teknion quotes depend on the series, panel heights, storage and worksurface components, and grade. Volume pricing applies at 5% off at 20 or more stations, 8% at 50 or more, and 12% at 100 or more.
What to check before buying used Teknion
- Series match. If you are expanding an existing Teknion floor, confirm the product line. Components from different lines usually do not connect.
- Panel and frame condition. Look for bent frames, missing connectors and stained or torn fabric tiles.
- Worksurfaces. Check edges, brackets and any grommet holes against where your power and data will come in.
- Storage keys and locks. Confirm pedestals and overheads either come with keys or can be rekeyed.
- Power components. Powered panel components should be evaluated by a licensed electrician before connection. Electrical is not included in furniture pricing.
- Quantities and finish consistency. For a full floor, confirm the lot is large enough and finishes match across every station.
Teknion seating
Teknion task chairs are common in the pre-owned market because they come out of large installations in quantity. See used Teknion chairs for grading and warranty specifics on seating, or go straight to the Teknion Contessa chair guide for what to inspect on that model.
Planning, delivery and installation
Space planning is free. Installation is $95 per workstation with a $495 minimum. Delivery in Greater Phoenix is $195 central or $295 metro. Everywhere else in the country, freight is quoted per project.
If you are on the other side of the transaction and have Teknion to clear out, Office Station also buys and removes furniture through office furniture liquidation with a written net offer: resale value minus removal cost.

Frequently asked questions
Is Office Station an authorized Teknion dealer?
No. Office Station is an independent reseller of pre-owned furniture and is not an authorized Teknion dealer. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Teknion. Teknion is a trademark of its owner and is used here only to describe the furniture we resell.
Does the Teknion warranty transfer to used furniture?
Manufacturer warranties generally do not transfer to pre-owned furniture. Plan on buying based on condition grade and inspection rather than a factory warranty. Ask us about the specific items you are considering before you order.
How much does a used Teknion workstation cost?
As a planning benchmark, a 6x6 workstation, furniture only, runs about $615 liquidation-grade, $1,245 remanufactured, and $1,920 new. Actual Teknion pricing depends on series, components and grade. Prices exclude electrical, delivery and professional installation.
Can I add used Teknion to an existing Teknion floor?
Often, but match the series first. Panels, connectors, worksurface brackets and finishes vary between product lines and production years. Send photos and part labels from your existing stations so we can check compatibility before quoting.
How fast can I get used Teknion furniture?
Liquidation-grade furniture in stock can be ready in as little as 72 hours. Remanufactured furniture usually takes 7 to 14 days. New furniture typically takes 4 to 6 weeks.
