Why buyers look for used Teknion cubicles
Teknion builds systems furniture for large corporate floors, and that is exactly why it shows up on the pre-owned market. When a company consolidates or relocates, whole floors of matching panels, worksurfaces and storage come out at once. That gives you a chance to buy a consistent, well-engineered system at a fraction of new cost.
Teknion workstations are generally built around steel frames with replaceable skins, so tired fabric or scuffed tiles can be swapped without scrapping the frame. That makes them strong candidates for remanufacturing, and it means a used station can look far newer than its age.
One important note up front: Office Station is an independent reseller, not an authorized Teknion dealer. Manufacturer warranties generally do not transfer to pre-owned furniture. What you get from us is a clear condition grade, a written quote and a plan that fits your space.
Three tiers for a Teknion-style workstation
Rather than guess at a brand premium, we work from three simple tiers. Grade drives cost more than anything else: liquidation-grade costs the least, remanufactured sits in the middle and new costs the most.
| Tier | Typical lead time | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Liquidation-grade | As little as 72 hours in stock | Fast move-ins, budget buildouts, overflow seating |
| Remanufactured | Usually 7-14 days | Client-facing floors that need refreshed fabric and a uniform look |
| New | 4-6 weeks | Specific finishes, configurations or full warranty coverage |
Furniture is quoted separately from electrical, delivery and professional installation. Here is how those add-ons work:
- Installation: quoted with your project, based on the number of stations, building access and the complexity of the layout.
- Greater Phoenix delivery: based on your address, building access and the size of the order.
- Everywhere else nationwide: freight quoted per project.
- Space planning: free.
- Electrical: hardwiring and building power are handled by your licensed electrician.
What else moves the number
Beyond grade, the cost of a Teknion project comes down to station size, panel height, storage, power, finishes and how much matching inventory is available. Teknion projects tend to be large, and larger orders are quoted together, with your quantity reflected in the written quote. Every project is quoted individually, and space planning is free.
How we grade pre-owned Teknion pieces
Every piece carries a condition grade so you are never buying blind.
- Grade A, like new: minimal visible wear, clean fabric, straight tops and working hardware.
- Grade B, very good: light wear such as minor edge scuffs or small fabric marks that disappear at a normal viewing distance.
- Grade C, good: fully functional with visible cosmetic wear. A smart choice for back-of-house, training rooms and warehouse offices.
Liquidation-grade stations are sold as found and graded. Remanufactured stations have been cleaned and refreshed so a whole run looks consistent.
What to check before you buy used Teknion cubicles
Systems furniture is only as good as its fit. Walk through this checklist before you commit.
- Panel heights. Decide on seated privacy, standing sightlines or a mix. Lower panels open up light; taller panels cut noise and distraction.
- Footprint and aisles. A 6'x6' station needs aisle clearance on top of its own footprint. Confirm egress widths with your building before you finalize a count.
- Power and data. Note where your floor cores, wall outlets or ceiling feeds sit. Some panels carry base power, and your electrician will need to confirm compatibility with building power.
- Matching an existing floor. If you are adding to a Teknion layout already in place, photograph panel labels, connectors and finishes. Mixed product generations do not always connect cleanly.
- Worksurfaces. Look for flat tops, intact edge banding and solid brackets. Consider whether some users need height-adjustable surfaces.
- Storage. Count pedestals, overheads and lateral files per person. Confirm you are getting keys or can rekey locks.
- Fabric and finish. Ask for close-up photos of the actual lot. Remanufactured stations are the easier route to a uniform color.
- Delivery access. Confirm dock, freight elevator and after-hours rules at the receiving building.
Pair workstations with the right seating
A cubicle is only half a workstation. Most offices buying Teknion systems also need task chairs, and pre-owned seating from brands like Herman Miller, Steelcase, Humanscale and Haworth can be graded and priced the same way. Browse pre-owned office chairs or the wider pre-owned office furniture range to round out each station.
Buying in Greater Phoenix
If your office is in the Valley, delivery and installation are listed on your written quote, so there are no surprises later. See local pages for used cubicles in Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe. Outside Arizona, we quote freight per project, so send your address and station count with your request.
Selling Teknion instead of buying it?
If you are clearing out a Teknion floor, every office is different. We walk the floor for free and recommend the best route: resale, a buy, a quote to clear, donation or recycling, or a mix.

Frequently asked questions
Are you an authorized Teknion dealer?
No. Office Station is an independent reseller of pre-owned furniture, including Teknion. We are not an authorized Teknion dealer, and manufacturer warranties generally do not transfer to pre-owned pieces. We grade every item so you know its condition before you buy.
How much does a used Teknion cubicle cost?
It depends on grade (liquidation-grade, remanufactured or new), station size, panel height, finishes and quantity, so every project is quoted individually. Electrical, delivery and professional installation are quoted as separate lines, and larger orders are reflected in the written quote.
Can I add stations to an existing Teknion layout?
Often, yes, but it depends on matching the panel system, heights, connectors and finishes. Send us photos of your panel labels, connectors and a tape measure against a panel, and we can tell you whether a match is realistic from available inventory.
How fast can used Teknion cubicles be installed?
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. Installation is quoted with your project, based on the number of stations, building access and the complexity of the layout.
Do you deliver outside Phoenix?
Yes. Within Greater Phoenix, delivery is quoted with your project based on your address, building access and the size of the order. Everywhere else in the country, freight is quoted per project based on station count and destination.
