Workstations are the backbone of an open office, and they are usually the biggest line in a furniture budget. Buying used lets you furnish a full floor with commercial-grade systems furniture for well below new pricing, often on a much shorter timeline.
This page covers standard 6'x6' workstations, furniture only.
6'x6' workstation tiers
| Tier | Lead time | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Liquidation-grade | As little as 72 hours, in stock | Tight budgets, fast move-ins, operations space |
| Remanufactured | Usually 7 to 14 days | Client-facing areas, a uniform refreshed look |
| New | 4 to 6 weeks | Specific finishes or configurations |
Workstation pricing depends on grade, station size, panel height, finishes and quantity, so every project is quoted individually. Electrical, delivery and professional installation are separate. Pre-owned pieces carry condition grades: A like new, B very good, C good.
Ordering in quantity
Larger orders are quoted together, and your quantity is reflected in the written quote. Quantity also matters for availability: a large run of matched stations in one finish is easier to source in remanufactured or liquidation-grade when you share the full count early, including the next year of hiring.
Installation, delivery and what else to budget
A workstation is only part of the total. Plan for these as well:
- Installation: quoted with your project, based on the number of stations, building access and the complexity of the layout.
- Delivery in Greater Phoenix: quoted based on your address, building access and the size of the order.
- Outside Greater Phoenix: freight is quoted per project, nationwide.
- Electrical: not included. If your stations need power fed through panels or from the floor or ceiling, coordinate a licensed electrician and your building early.
- Space planning: free.
Which tier fits your office
Liquidation-grade
The lowest cost and fastest option. Good for call centers, operations floors, startups and any team that needs desks now. Condition varies by grade, so check each line on your quote.
Remanufactured
Refreshed pre-owned furniture with a cleaner, more consistent look. A strong choice when clients visit or you want a whole floor to match. Read more in why you should pick remanufactured furniture.
New
The right call when you need a specific finish or configuration that is not available pre-owned, or when a manufacturer warranty is required. Expect 4 to 6 weeks.
Many offices mix tiers, with remanufactured in visible areas and liquidation-grade elsewhere.
How ordering workstations works
- Share the basics. Send your headcount, room dimensions or floor plan, target move-in date and delivery address.
- Get a free layout. Space planning maps the stations to your room so you know the count fits before you order.
- Review your quote. It lists each item with its tier and condition grade, plus installation and delivery or freight.
- Schedule delivery and install. Lead time depends on tier: as little as 72 hours for in-stock liquidation-grade, usually 7 to 14 days for remanufactured, and 4 to 6 weeks for new.
The biggest delays usually come from outside the furniture itself, such as electrical work that was not scheduled, a building that needs a certificate of insurance before crews can enter, or a freight elevator that has to be reserved. Raising those items early keeps a fast lead time from going to waste.
A note on station size
This page focuses on 6'x6' workstations, a common footprint that gives most people room for a monitor setup, a small amount of storage and a comfortable work surface. If your layout calls for a different size or configuration, mention it in your request so availability can be confirmed before you plan around it. The cubicle size guide compares common footprints.
Brands and what "independent reseller" means
Pre-owned inventory can include systems furniture and seating from Herman Miller, Steelcase, Knoll, Haworth, Humanscale, Teknion, Allsteel, Kimball, AIS and Friant. Office Station sells these as an independent reseller, not an authorized dealer. Manufacturer warranties generally do not transfer to pre-owned furniture.
Checklist before you order
- Count stations now and for the next year of hiring.
- Measure the room or send a floor plan for free space planning.
- Confirm walkway clearances and building egress requirements with your landlord.
- Decide which areas need remanufactured and which can be liquidation-grade.
- Plan power and data with your electrician and IT team.
- Confirm delivery access, such as dock or elevator availability.
- Pair stations with task chairs. See pre-owned office chairs.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a used office workstation 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 separate lines on the quote.
Do larger orders cost less per station?
Larger orders are quoted together, and your quantity is reflected in the written quote. Share your full station count up front so it can be priced as one project.
How much is installation and delivery?
Both are quoted with your project. Installation depends on the number of stations, building access and the complexity of the layout. Delivery depends on your address, building access and the size of the order, and freight elsewhere in the country is quoted per project.
How quickly can workstations be delivered?
In-stock liquidation-grade workstations can be ready in as little as 72 hours. Remanufactured stations usually take 7 to 14 days, and new stations take 4 to 6 weeks.
Do you help with the layout?
Yes. Space planning is free. Share your floor plan or room dimensions and headcount, and the layout can be worked out before you commit to an order.
