Office furniture installation services are easy to underestimate. A workstation arrives as panels, worksurfaces, brackets, pedestals and power components, and every one of them has to land in the right spot, level and square, before your team can sit down.
Office Station keeps the pricing simple: $95 per workstation, with a $495 minimum. Here is what that covers, how to budget around it and how it fits into a larger relocation.
Installation pricing
The rate is quoted per workstation, which makes it straightforward to estimate the installation line before the crew arrives. Confirm the final scope in your written quote.
| Workstations | Installation cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1-5 | $495 | Minimum applies |
| 6 | $570 | 6 x $95 |
| 12 | $1,140 | 12 x $95 |
| 30 | $2,850 | 30 x $95 |
| 75 | $7,125 | 75 x $95 |

Delivery is separate. In Greater Phoenix it is $195 for central zones and $295 for metro zones. Outside Greater Phoenix, freight is quoted per project.
Building a complete project budget
Here is an example for 20 remanufactured 6'x6' workstations delivered to a central Greater Phoenix zone.
- Furniture: 20 x $1,245 = $24,900, less the 5% volume discount at 20+ stations = $23,655
- Delivery: $195 (central zone)
- Installation: 20 x $95 = $1,900
- Space planning: free
- Total before electrical: $25,750
The same floor using liquidation-grade stations at $615 would start at $11,685 in furniture after the 5% discount. New stations at $1,920 would start at $36,480. Installation and delivery stay the same regardless of tier.

How an installation project runs
- Space plan. Station counts, layout and power locations are confirmed on a free plan.
- Building logistics. Certificates of insurance go to building management, and freight elevator and dock time are reserved.
- Site readiness. Flooring, paint and electrical rough-in should be finished before furniture arrives.
- Delivery and staging. Components are brought in and staged by area so each zone can be built in order.
- Installation. Workstations are assembled, leveled and aligned to the plan. Nights and weekends are available.
- Electrician connection. Your electrician connects the panel power feeds.
- Walkthrough. You walk the floor and flag any punch-list items before sign-off.
Your pre-install checklist
- Confirm the building's contractor rules and required insurance wording.
- Reserve the freight elevator and loading dock for delivery day.
- Clear the install area of boxes, old furniture and construction debris.
- Confirm carpet and paint are complete and dry.
- Mark power and data locations on the floor or confirm them against the plan.
- Name one on-site contact with authority to answer layout questions.
- Schedule your electrician for right after installation.
What most often delays an install
Most installation delays have nothing to do with the furniture. They come from the site or the building. Knowing the usual causes lets you head them off.
- Unfinished construction. If carpet is still going down or paint is wet, crews cannot build stations in that area. Ask your general contractor for a firm turnover date for the floor.
- Missing insurance paperwork. Many buildings will not let a crew past the dock without a certificate of insurance naming the right parties. Send the building's exact wording ahead of time.
- Elevator conflicts. Another tenant's move or a construction delivery can tie up the freight elevator. Book it in writing and confirm it the day before.
- Layout changes on the day. Moving a run of stations after installation starts can ripple through power locations. Lock the plan before delivery and keep one decision-maker on site.
- Electrician timing. If the electrician cannot come until days later, your team may have desks without power. Book both trades together.
Delays like these can push your move-in date. A little coordination up front is the best protection.
Installation as part of a relocation
When you are moving offices, installation is only one piece. The furniture at your old address has to go somewhere, and the old space usually has to be returned empty.
Office Station coordinates corporate relocations alongside furniture liquidation. Instead of paying to move a workstation system that does not fit your new floor, you can get a written net offer on it: resale value minus removal cost. If the result is positive, you are paid, and that credit can go toward the furniture and installation in your new space.
On the exit side, you can expect an itemized inventory of what was removed, e-waste handling with certificates of data destruction, a photo-documented broom-clean handback and a diversion summary. For full space exits that go beyond furniture, see office decommissioning.
Matching installation to lead times
Your installation date depends on when the furniture is ready. Liquidation-grade workstations in stock can be ready in as little as 72 hours. Remanufactured stations usually take 7-14 days, and new furniture typically takes 4-6 weeks.
If your move date is fixed, pick the tier that fits the calendar first, then book the install. Browse options on the pre-owned office furniture page.
Frequently asked questions
How much does office furniture installation cost?
Office Station charges $95 per workstation with a $495 minimum. A 20-station floor is $1,900 and a 4-station job is billed at the $495 minimum. Electrical and delivery are priced separately.
Does installation include electrical work?
No. Furniture and installation pricing exclude electrical. Your licensed electrician handles hardwiring panel power feeds and any building power work, so coordinate their schedule with the installation date.
How much is delivery?
In Greater Phoenix, delivery is $195 for central zones and $295 for metro zones. Elsewhere nationwide, freight is quoted per project.
Can installation happen after hours?
Crews can be scheduled for nights and weekends. That is helpful when your building restricts freight elevator and dock use during business hours or when you need to keep an occupied floor working.
Can you install furniture we are moving from our old office?
Ask about it when you request a quote. Office Station provides corporate relocation coordination, and pairing a move with liquidation of the furniture you will not take often reduces how much has to be moved and reinstalled.
