If you are opening, expanding or refreshing an office in Tempe, used office furniture lets you put quality workstations and seating in place quickly without paying new-furniture prices. Tempe has a mix of tech firms, startups, university-adjacent organizations and established corporate tenants, and many of them need the same thing: a clean, consistent office that is ready on a specific date.
This page covers what Office Station offers Tempe buyers, how condition grades work, what a typical workstation costs, and how delivery and installation are priced for a Tempe address.
What Tempe buyers can furnish with
Office Station sells pre-owned office furniture from brands including Herman Miller, Steelcase, Knoll, Haworth, Humanscale, Teknion, Allsteel, Kimball, AIS and Friant. Office Station is an independent reseller, not an authorized dealer for any of these manufacturers.
- Cubicles and workstations. Panel-based stations in common footprints such as 6'x6', available as liquidation-grade, remanufactured or new. See the Tempe used cubicles page for local details.
- Task and conference chairs. Ergonomic seating is often the best value in pre-owned furniture. Browse pre-owned office chairs.
- Desks, tables and storage. Private office sets, conference tables, filing and storage to round out a floor plan. Start at pre-owned office furniture.
How condition grading works
Used furniture varies. A chair from a lightly used conference room is not the same as one from a 24-hour call center. Grading gives you a shared vocabulary before anything is delivered.
| Grade | What it means | Where Tempe offices often use it |
|---|---|---|
| A | Like new | Reception, client meeting rooms, executive offices |
| B | Very good | Open-plan teams, private offices, training rooms |
| C | Good | Back-office, storage areas, overflow or temporary seating |
Mixing grades is a practical way to control budget. Spend on the areas people see first, and save where function matters more than finish.
What a workstation costs in Tempe
For a 6'x6' workstation, furniture-only pricing looks like this:
| Option | Price per 6'x6' station | Typical lead time |
|---|---|---|
| Liquidation-grade | $615 | As little as 72 hours when 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 prices exclude electrical, delivery and professional installation. Volume pricing is 5% off at 20 or more stations, 8% at 50 or more, and 12% at 100 or more.
Delivery and installation for a Tempe address
Tempe falls within Greater Phoenix, so delivery is priced by zone: $195 for central addresses and $295 for metro addresses. Installation is $95 per workstation with a $495 minimum. Space planning is free.
Here is a simple example. A Tempe team orders 24 liquidation-grade 6'x6' stations. Furniture is 24 x $615 = $14,760, less the 5% volume discount, for $14,022. Installation is 24 x $95 = $2,280. Add the delivery zone fee for your address. Electrical work is separate and is typically handled by your building or electrician.
Liquidation-grade, remanufactured or new?
The three workstation options solve different problems, so pick based on your situation rather than price alone.
- Choose liquidation-grade when move-in is close, budget is tight, or you are furnishing a startup suite that may change again within a few years. In-stock stations can be ready in as little as 72 hours.
- Choose remanufactured when you want a more uniform, refreshed look across a whole floor and can wait roughly 7 to 14 days.
- Choose new when you need a specific configuration or finish that pre-owned inventory cannot match and your timeline allows 4 to 6 weeks.
Many Tempe offices combine options: remanufactured stations for the main team area and liquidation-grade for overflow, interns or a training room. Free space planning can map where each option goes before you commit.
Checklist before you order
- Get a floor plan or measurements. Free space planning helps confirm how many stations fit and where aisles, columns and power sit.
- Confirm power and data. Decide whether panels need powered bases and coordinate electrical early, since it is not included in furniture pricing.
- Check building access. Ask your property manager about dock hours, freight elevator reservations and any certificate of insurance requirements.
- Pick grades by area. Assign A, B or C to each zone of the office before finalizing quantities.
- Match the timeline to the option. If move-in is days away, liquidation-grade in-stock furniture is the realistic choice. If you have a month or more, remanufactured or new opens up.
- Count chairs separately. Workstation pricing is furniture for the station. Plan task seating as its own line.
Leaving or downsizing a Tempe office?
Office Station also buys and removes furniture. If your Tempe lease is ending or your team is consolidating, office furniture liquidation in Greater Phoenix starts with a walkthrough, typically within 48 hours, and a written net offer within 5 business days. The net offer is resale value minus removal cost. When it is positive, you are paid.
Removal can run on nights or weekends, with certificates of insurance, freight elevator and dock coordination, an itemized inventory, e-waste handling with certificates of data destruction, and a photo-documented broom-clean handback. If you are clearing the whole suite, see office decommissioning.

Frequently asked questions
Do you deliver used office furniture to Tempe?
Yes. Tempe is part of Greater Phoenix, where delivery uses zone pricing of $195 for central addresses or $295 for metro addresses. Your quote will show which zone applies to your building. Installation is a separate line item.
What do the condition grades mean?
Grade A is like new, Grade B is very good, and Grade C is good. Every pre-owned item is graded so you know what to expect before it arrives. Many offices mix grades, putting A pieces in client-facing areas and B or C in back-office rooms.
How fast can I get cubicles in Tempe?
Liquidation-grade workstations can be available in as little as 72 hours when in stock. Remanufactured stations usually take 7 to 14 days, and new stations take 4 to 6 weeks. Installation scheduling is confirmed with your quote.
Are used Herman Miller or Steelcase pieces covered by a manufacturer warranty?
Generally no. Office Station is an independent reseller, not an authorized dealer, and manufacturer warranties generally do not transfer to pre-owned furniture. That is why condition grading and a pre-delivery review of your quote matter.
Can you buy the furniture from our old Tempe office?
Office Station provides office furniture liquidation across Greater Phoenix. You get a written net offer equal to resale value minus removal cost, and if that number is positive, you are paid. Walkthroughs in Greater Phoenix typically happen within 48 hours.
